GTA REALTORS ® Release April Stats
GTA Real Estate Market Update by Toronto Regional Real Estate Board
TORONTO, ONTARIO, May 5, 2026 – Home sales increased on a year-over-year basis in April 2026, while the supply of listings trended lower. This suggests that overall market conditions in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) tightened during the first full month of spring. Despite tighter market conditions, selling prices edged lower on average compared to last year, as buyers continued to benefit from ample choice and negotiating power.
“We have experienced an uptick in home buying activity so far this spring. Buyers have taken advantage of more affordable housing market conditions on the back of lower home prices. If market conditions continue to tighten and home prices level off, this could be a signal to intending homebuyers who remain on the sidelines,” said TRREB President Daniel Steinfeld.
“Lower home prices and borrowing costs over the past year have been a catalyst for some homebuyers this spring. However, we still have a substantial amount of pent-up demand in the marketplace. More certainty on the trade front and an easing in geopolitical tensions would result in further improvements in market activity,” said TRREB’s Chief Information Officer Jason Mercer.
GTA REALTORS® reported 5,946 home sales through TRREB’s MLS® System in April 2026 – an increase of seven per cent compared to April 2025. New listings entered into the MLS® System amounted to 17,097– down by 9.3 per cent year-over-year.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, April 2026 home sales and new listings were up month-over-month compared to March 2026. Sales were up by a greater monthly rate than new listings, potentially suggesting more competition between buyers in some neighbourhoods.
The MLS® Home Price Index (MLS® HPI) Composite benchmark was down by 6.6 per cent year-over-year in April 2026. The average selling price, at $1,051,969, was down by 4.9 per cent compared to April 2025.
On a month-over-month seasonally adjusted basis the average selling price edged up compared to March 2026. The MLS® HPI Composite was flat over the same period.
“We recently released a major new housing policy report, ‘Removing Roadblocks: Tackling Municipal Barriers to Housing Supply and Affordability in Ontario,’ outlining the next phase of provincial housing policy reforms needed to build more of the right types of homes and improve affordability for Ontarians. While historic progress has been made, we must continue the work of removing the decades of legislative and regulatory red tape, outdated local rules, and rising municipal costs that are blocking new housing in Ontario. “This report is a roadmap for cutting red tape and unlocking new housing supply,” said TRREB CEO John DiMichele.
大多伦多地区房地产经纪人协会发布四月统计数据
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5月5日 — 2026年4月，房屋销售量同比增长，而房源供应量呈下降趋势。这表明，大多伦多地区（GTA）的整体市场状况在春季的第一个完整月份趋于紧张。尽管市场趋于紧张，但由于购房者仍然拥有充足的选择和议价能力，平均售价较去年略有下降。
“今年春季至今，我们观察到购房活动有所增加。由于房价走低，购房者利用了更实惠的购房条件。如果市场状况持续紧张，房价趋于稳定，这可能对那些仍在观望的潜在购房者发出信号，”多伦多地区房地产委员会主席丹尼尔·斯坦菲尔德 (Daniel Steinfeld) 表示。
“过去一年房价和贷款成本的下降刺激了部分购房者在今年春季的购房热情。然而，市场仍然存在大量的潜在需求。贸易形势的明朗化和地缘政治紧张局势的缓和将进一步促进市场活跃度的提升。”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。
大多伦多地区房地产经纪人协会（GTA REALTORS®）报告称，2026年4月通过TRREB的MLS®系统售出5,946套房屋，较2025年4月增长7%。MLS®系统新增房源17,097套，同比下降9.3%。
经季节性调整后，2026年4月的房屋销售量和新增房源数量均较2026年3月环比增长。房屋销售量的月度增幅高于新增房源数量，这可能表明部分社区的购房竞争加剧。
2026年4月，MLS®房屋价格指数（MLS® HPI）综合基准同比下降6.6%。平均售价为1,051,969加元，较2025年4月下降4.9%。
经季节性调整后，平均售价较2026年3月略有上涨。同期，MLS® HPI综合指数持平。
“我们近期发布了一份重要的住房政策报告 ——《扫清障碍：解决安大略省住房供应和可负担性方面的市政障碍》，概述了省级住房政策改革的下一阶段，旨在建造更多合适的住房类型，并提高安大略省居民的住房可负担性。尽管已经取得了历史性的进展，但我们必须继续努力，消除数十年来阻碍安大略省新建住房的立法和监管繁文缛节、过时的地方法规以及不断上涨的市政成本。多伦多地区房地产委员会（TRREB）首席执行官约翰·迪米歇尔表示：“这份报告是减少繁文缛节、释放住房供应潜力的路线图。”

My Observations:
April saw the sale of 5,946 homes, a 7% increase over last April, but not a significant increase. The listing inventory of 17,097, is lower than last year and as a rough estimate, it means that on average there are 3 homes available for a buyer to choose from. Remember, this is an average number. Some price ranges and type of homes have different numbers. Condominiums and luxury homes for example, have higher inventories skewing the numbers of more moderately priced homes in high demand neighborhoods. Today’s buyers are taking advantage of more affordable housing market conditions on the back of lower home prices.
I often hear people say, “I am waiting for the market to bottom out,” but the reality is no one can judge when that happens. The “bottom” is usually triggered by other events, such as an increase in mortgage rates, or a purely psychological factor such as confidence in the economy, or the end of a conflict on the other side of the world. When that changes everybody jumps in and prices start increasing.
Waiting for the bottom may be a strategy (though I would not endorse it) for first time buyers, but certainly not one for those who are upgrading their homes. If you buy and sell in the same market, it makes no difference. Because if your home has dropped 10% then the new home would also drop by 10% from the peak price. One other factor to consider in that scenario is price. If a million-dollar home has dropped by 10%, theoretically you have lost $100,000. However, if you are upgrading to a $1,500,000 dollar home, that 10% drop amounts to $150,000. That’s why now might be the best time to take advantage of today’s market!
If you are considering a change or have some questions, or if you know of someone considering getting into the market, give me a call, I would love to help and put my experience and that of REMAX, the #1 company in terms of # of homes sold, to work for you!
Have a great May!
Your Friend in Real Estate,

我的观察：
四月份共售出5946套房屋，比去年四月增长7%，但增幅并不显著。待售房屋数量为17097套，低于去年同期水平。粗略估计，这意味着平均每位购房者只有3套房源可供选择。请记住，这只是一个平均值。不同价位和类型的房屋数量会有所不同。例如，公寓和豪华住宅的高库存，拉低了平均价格，掩盖了理想热门地段中等价位独立式和半独立式住宅的供应紧张和高需求。如今，购房者正利用房价走低带来的更实惠的购房条件。
我经常听到有人说“我在等待市场触底”，但实际上，没有人能够准确判断何时触底。“触底”通常是由其他事件触发的，例如抵押贷款利率上升，或者纯粹的心理因素，例如对经济的信心，或者世界另一端冲突的结束。一旦这些因素发生变化，所有人都会涌入市场，房价开始上涨。
对于首次购房者来说，等待价格触底或许是一种策略（虽然我并不推荐），但对于那些想要升级住房的人来说，这绝对不是明智之举。如果您在同一市场买卖房屋，那么买卖策略并无区别。因为如果您的房子下跌了10%，那么新房的价格也会从峰值下跌10%。在这种情况下，另一个需要考虑的因素是价格。如果一套价值百万加元的房子下跌了10%，理论上您损失了10万加元。但是，如果您升级到一套价值150万加元的房子，那么10%的跌幅相当于15万加元。这就是为什么现在可能是利用当前市场行情的最佳时机！
如果您正在考虑换房或有任何疑问，或者您认识有人正在考虑进入房地产市场，请随时联系我。我非常乐意为您提供帮助，并运用我以及RE/MAX（房屋销售量排名第一的公司）的经验为您服务！
祝您五月愉快！
您在房地产行业的朋友,
