Ontario's Real Estate Market This Fall: What You Need to Know
The Market Shift is Real – And It's Creating Opportunities
First-time buyers, families looking to upsize, and those ready to downsize: Ontario's real estate landscape is evolving, and smart buyers are positioning themselves for what's ahead.
First-Time Buyers: You're Not Alone in Waiting for the Right Moment
The demographics are shifting. Today's first-time buyers are entering the market later – often in their late 20s to 40s – but they're coming in stronger and smarter than ever.
The numbers tell the story:
28% of prospective first-time buyers have saved 20%+ for their down payment
33% have 15% or more ready to go
Only 10% are relying on family gifts – the rest are making it happen themselves
Watching and waiting? You're in good company. 68% of potential buyers say a 5-10% price drop would be their green light, while 64% are eyeing interest rate decreases of 0.5-1%.
Families & Life-Stage Movers: Your Time is Now
While first-timers take a breather, families, new Canadians, and retirees are driving market activity in 2025. Translation? Less competition in your segment means more negotiating power.
Ready to upsize or downsize? Market conditions are creating windows of opportunity for those ready to move.
