In late Q2 2026, we saw a nearly 2.5-point improvement in affordability, as Toronto\u2019s typical home price dropped around 4%\u2014bringing the payment-to-income ratio down to about 68%. This change was especially clear in our city, where price adjustments, rather than mortgage rates, opened up better buying opportunities. For those considering a move, it\u2019s worth noting that mortgage rates aren\u2019t expected to offer much more relief in the coming year, so it\u2019s increasingly important to focus on other ways to support affordability\u2014like steady income growth and keeping price increases in check. With my commitment to local expertise and a client-focused approach, I\u2019m here to help you navigate these evolving conditions for a smoother real estate journey.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s been a notable shift in Toronto\u2019s real estate landscape this past quarter: affordability made real strides, not because of better financing, but thanks to softer home prices.
