City market context

From the Toronto market article, 22 September 2026:

Toronto's housing market exhibits a sharp divergence in supply conditions, with semi-detached inventory tightening to 2.4 months while condominium apartments remain at 5 months. This segment-specific pressure contrasts with a city-wide sales-to-new-listings ratio of 41.9%, signaling that buyer leverage varies significantly by property type. Toronto's resale market shows divergent supply tightness by property type, with semi-detached homes falling to 2.4 months of inventory and condominium apartments dropping from 7 to 5 months between Q2 2025 and Q2 2026. This segment-specific absorption outpaces the broader city-wide sales-to-new-listings ratio of 41.9%, indicating that buyer competition is concentrated in lower-inventory freehold and mid-tier condo segments rather than across the entire market.
