In Mid-Q3, just 2% of qualifying GTA neighbourhoods landed in overbidding territory, versus 3% in Early-Q3, signaling softer buyer competition across the market.
Among 267 qualifying GTA neighbourhoods, 97% were underbid and 1% sold at asking in Mid-Q3, showing bidding wars were rare across GTA.
The condo and single-family gap kept narrowing: 95% of neighbourhoods with enough single-family sales were underbid, versus 98% of qualifying condo neighbourhoods.
An economist said Mid-Q3 had been one of GTA Real Estate’s quietest periods, and recently that pattern meant less competition for buyers.
Across 4.2K GTA homes sold in Mid-Q3, 79% changed hands below asking, versus 78% in Early-Q3, as single-family homes stopped bucking softer demand.

GTA Homebuyer Competition Weakens Further

GTA Market Shift: Fewer Listings, Softer Prices
The GTA market is shifting: both sales and new listings are declining, but listings are falling faster. For Mississauga buyers, that means fewer homes to choose from, even as softer prices create more negotiating opportunity. The latest update shows a median sale price of $842,000, down 7% from the previous month.
This is not a market where every property should be treated the same. Buyers can benefit from improved leverage on homes that have been sitting, particularly when inspections, financing, or flexible closing dates are part of a thoughtful offer. However, desirable homes that are accurately priced may still attract attention quickly.
For sellers, reduced competition among new listings can be helpful—but pricing remains critical. Overpricing can lead to longer market time and price reductions, while strong preparation, compelling presentation, and a data-backed launch strategy can help a property stand out.
Whether you are buying or selling in Mississauga, the best approach is local and specific. Message me for an up-to-date neighbourhood analysis, pricing guidance, and a plan tailored to your goals.

Ontario Micro-Condos Face Steep Depreciation
Transparency and integrity have always guided my approach in real estate, so it’s important to shed light on the changing market landscape—especially for those considering condo investments in the GTA. In Mid-Q3 2026, the average home selling price in the GTA stood at $993K, reflecting a yearly decrease of about 3%. Condo apartments averaged $618K, also dipping below last year’s figures, but it’s the micro condos—those under 500 sq-ft—that saw the most pronounced depreciation. These compact units proved the hardest to move, as buyers increasingly favored larger spaces and had more options to choose from. During Early-Q3, about 98% of GTA neighborhoods with at least five condo sales saw properties selling below list price, giving buyers more negotiating power than usual. Single-family homes experienced underbidding as well, in roughly 92% of neighborhoods, but condos felt the impact more deeply with waning investor interest and longer times on market. As an award-winning broker and negotiation expert, I’m committed to helping my clients navigate these shifts with honesty and competence—always working to secure the best results for you, whether you’re buying or selling.

GTA Low-Rise Demand Gets Boost
Recent data shows a clear boost in demand for low-rise new homes across the GTA, following the introduction of the HST rebate program. As a broker committed to transparency and putting my clients first, I’ve been closely watching this trend. Builders have responded to the renewed interest by steadily introducing more low-rise options, which has helped keep the market balanced and prevent rapid price increases. Meanwhile, the condo sector hasn’t been able to fully benefit, with construction rules making it harder for that segment to participate. It’s worth noting that while gross prices remain unchanged, eligible buyers can take advantage of the rebate for additional savings—making homeownership more achievable and supporting new buyers in our region. Many in our industry recognize that initiatives like this can contribute to a stronger economic outlook and protect local jobs. As always, I’m here to guide you through the evolving market with honesty and integrity, so you can make informed real estate decisions backed by experience and dedication.
