🙌 Ontario's Market Shows Early Signs of Recovery
The average detached home price in Ontario in March 2025 was $860,545. Prices rose 1.4% compared to February 2025
March marked the first real uptick after nearly two years of steady price declines.
Despite the monthly gain, prices are still down 3.2% compared to March 2024.
Regional differences persist — some mid-sized cities saw stronger rebounds in prices, while others stayed flat or declined.
Why This Matters: Signs of stabilization suggest a potential "floor" in prices, making it an opportunity window for long-term investors. Slower new construction could create supply squeezes over the next 12–24 months if demand rebounds. Strong immigration numbers will remain a major driver of future housing demand, favoring buy-and-hold strategies.
