Wrapping our heads around the new reality of the Toronto real estate market—and recognizing that it’s actually a great place to be.
Here at LTHome, 2025 was a strong year. We had the opportunity to reconnect with past clients, assist referral clients, and guide new buyers and sellers on their journey to Bringing their dreams home.
With average city prices down a modest 2.30% and days on market inching slightly higher, we’ve been working diligently behind the scenes—monitoring market trends and refining our strategies—to ensure our clients are well positioned in this evolving landscape.
With total sales in Toronto down 5.79% and listings up 7.46%, it’s clear that the frenzy of the pandemic market is behind us. While headlines often frame this as a challenging market, the reality is quite the opposite—this is the market many of us have been waiting for. As interest rates come down and stabilize at more realistic levels, the era of buyers sitting on the sidelines waiting for “cheaper money” is fading.

Today’s Toronto market has slowed to a healthier pace, giving buyers the opportunity to explore their options, perform proper due diligence, and find homes that truly meet their needs—rather than settling for whatever they can secure. Sellers who are also buying stand to benefit as well, with lower borrowing costs over the long term when both transactions take place in the same market.
For sellers moving out of the city or on to their next chapter, it’s important to remember that homes are still selling. With the right Realtor® and a smart, market-aware strategy, success is absolutely achievable—and Bringing your dreams home.

In the meantime, start planning your PROM outfit!!
A surprise snow-in is more than a change of plans, it’s also a chance to see how ready you are for a
winter emergency.
Childhood snow days might have meant hot chocolate and sledding, but adulthood calls for a slightly different approach. With the right essentials on hand, a stormy day at home can feel less like an interruption and more like an opportunity to slow down.
Start with the basics of comfort and safety.
- A stash of candles, extra batteries and portable charging banks will keep the lights on... and your devices connected if the power flickers out.
- Keep a well-stocked pantry with non-perishable food items and a few easy-to-prepare meals so you won’t have to venture out when the roads are at their worst.
- Don’t forget about your car. Keeping a shovel, blanket and emergency kit close at hand, but neatly out of the way, ensures you’re ready when it’s safe to head back out.
Beyond the practical, there’s also value in adding a few fun comforts to your snow day plan.
- Experiment with a cozy drink you’ve been meaning to try, like homemade chai or a spiced latte, - Pull out a board game or puzzle.
- Get creative! Painting, knitting or starting a craft project you’ve always put off.
- Printing photos for an album, writing in a journal or finally diving into that book waiting on your nightstand.
Snow days create space for those little things you never seem to have enough time for. By combining practical essentials with a few comforts and activities you genuinely enjoy, a snow-in can feel less disruptive and more like a welcome pause in your routine.
