Dear Friends,
As homeowners, we often neglect home maintenance, even though keeping up with it is essential to the efficiency and longevity of our homes. Left unchecked, small issues with appliances, HVAC systems, plumbing, and windows can quickly grow into costly repairs and replacements.
Rather than waste time and money solving problems that could have been easily prevented, take a more proactive approach. Don’t let home maintenance pile up like the autumn leaves. Use this month’s newsletter to fill your to-do list with monthly, must-do maintenance tasks, and get started today.
Any questions? Give me a call. Whether you need a trusted contractor, advice about your home’s value, or you’re planning your next move, I’m always here to help.
亲爱的朋友们,
作为房主，我们常常忽略房屋维护，但其实定期维护对房屋的效率和使用寿命至关重要。如果置之不理，家电、暖通空调系统、管道和窗户等小问题很快就会演变成昂贵的维修和更换。
与其浪费时间和金钱去解决那些原本可以轻松避免的问题，不如采取更积极主动的方式。不要让房屋维护像秋天的落叶一样堆积如山。利用本月的简报，列出每月必须完成的维护任务，并立即开始行动。
如有任何疑问，欢迎致电。无论您是需要一位值得信赖的承包商、房屋价值方面的建议，还是正在计划下一步的搬家，我都随时准备为您提供帮助。

GTA REALTORS ® Release August Stats
GTA Real Estate Market Update by Toronto Regional Real Estate Board
TORONTO, ONTARIO, September 3, 2026 – The number of homes available for sale in August 2026 was down noticeably compared to last year in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Following this trend, home sales also edged lower, as the number of transactions was arguably limited by less choice in some neighbourhoods. Less choice and more competition between buyers could ultimately result in renewed price growth in the months ahead.
GTA REALTORS® reported 5,057 home sales through TRREB’s MLS® System in August 2026 – down 2.1 per cent compared to August 2025. New listings entered into the MLS® System amounted to 12,075 – down by 14.1 per cent year-over-year.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, August 2026 home sales were down slightly month-over-month compared to July 2026, while new listings were up.
“If inventory tightens and home prices begin to rise, some buyers may face a trade-off between waiting for greater economic certainty and purchasing before prices move higher. At the same time, improving market conditions for sellers could bring more listings to market, providing buyers with additional choice,” said Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) President Daniel Steinfeld.
The MLS® Home Price Index (MLS® HPI) Composite benchmark was down by 4.5 per cent year-over-year in August 2026. The average selling price, at $993,410, was down by 2.7 per cent.
On a month-over-month seasonally adjusted basis, MLS® HPI Composite was essentially flat compared to July 2026. The average selling price edged up over the previous month.
“Ownership housing in the GTA has remained relatively affordable over the past year, with average prices dipping and mortgage rates remaining somewhat flat. Recent news on the overall economy and job creation has been positive. The main hold-back for many households has been concerns around trade with the United States and the potential for higher inflation and borrowing costs in the future,” said TRREB’s Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer.
“A more balanced resale market is a positive development, but it does not address Ontario’s ongoing housing supply and affordability challenges. Governments should take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate barriers to attainable housing, including restrictive zoning policies, high taxes and development charges, and lengthy approval processes. Municipalities, in particular, play a significant role in determining how much housing is built, how quickly projects move forward, and the overall cost of delivering homes,” said TRREB CEO John DiMichele.
大多伦多地区房地产经纪人协会发布八月统计数据
多伦多地区房地产委员会发布大多伦多地区房地产市场最新动态
安大略省多伦多，2026年9月3日 — 与去年同期相比，2026年8月大多伦多地区（GTA）的待售房屋数量显著下降。受此趋势影响，房屋销售量也略有下降，部分社区房源选择减少可能限制了交易量。选择减少和买家之间竞争加剧最终可能导致未来几个月房价再次上涨。
大多伦多地区房地产经纪人协会报告称，2026年8月通过多伦多地区房地产委员会的MLS®系统共售出5,057套房屋，较2025年8月下降2.1%。MLS®系统新增房源数量为12,075套，同比下降14.1%。
经季节性调整后，2026年8月房屋销售量环比略低于2026年7月，而新增房源数量则有所增加。
“如果库存趋紧，房价开始上涨，一些购房者可能会面临两难选择：是等待经济形势更加明朗后再出手，还是在房价进一步上涨前购房。与此同时，卖方市场状况的改善可能会带来更多房源，为购房者提供更多选择。”多伦多地区房地产委员会（TRREB）主席丹尼尔·斯坦菲尔德表示。
2026年8月，MLS®房屋价格指数（MLS® HPI）综合基准同比下降4.5%。平均售价为993,410加元，同比下降2.7%。
经季节性调整后，MLS® HPI综合指数环比与2026年7月基本持平。平均售价较上月略有上涨。
“过去一年，大多伦多地区的房屋所有权价格相对可负担，平均房价有所下降，抵押贷款利率也基本保持稳定。近期有关整体经济和就业增长的消息都比较积极。许多家庭的主要顾虑在于对美贸易的担忧，以及未来可能出现的通胀和借贷成本上升，”多伦多地区房地产委员会（TRREB）首席信息官杰森·默瑟（Jason Mercer）表示。
“二手房市场更加平衡是一个积极的发展趋势，但这并不能解决安大略省持续存在的住房供应和可负担性挑战。政府应该抓住这个机会，消除获得可负担住房的障碍，包括限制性的分区政策、高额税收和开发费用以及冗长的审批流程。特别是市政当局，在决定住房建设数量、项目推进速度以及房屋交付的总成本方面发挥着重要作用，”TRREB首席执行官约翰·迪米凯莱（John DiMichele）表示。 |
