October 15, 2025 – “We saw a modest increase in buying and selling activity early in the third quarter, followed by a noticeable slowdown in September. Inventory has risen to just under six months of supply, which firmly places us in a buyer’s market. Current demand is slow overall, with smaller communities outside the city particularly quiet,” said Adam Miller, broker and manager, Royal LePage Triland Realty. “No single demographic appears to be driving market activity. Rather, it’s a mix of buyers from different groups making moves in smaller numbers.”
Miller noted that the most recent interest rate cut has had little impact on consumer behaviour. Instead, buyers are far more concerned about the broader economic picture – including job security and affordability – than they are about incremental rate changes. For many consumers, economic anxieties are outweighing the incentive of cheaper borrowing costs to step into the market right now.
“We remain cautiously optimistic for the fall market. As prices continue to soften, we expect continually improving affordability to gradually encourage more buyers back into the market,” said Miller. “We could see a modest pickup in activity in the final months of the year, particularly if market conditions stabilize and consumer confidence improves alongside progress in trade negotiations.”
Nationally, the aggregate price of a home in Canada recorded virtually no change in the third quarter of 2025, increasing just 0.1 per cent year over year to $816,500. However, on a quarter-over-quarter basis, the national aggregate home price posted a decline of 1.2 per cent, driven by depreciation in many major markets across the country over the summer.
“Canada’s housing market is shifting toward balance, as easing prices, rising listings and renewed rate cuts improve affordability across most regions,” said Phil Soper, president and CEO, Royal LePage. “For the first time in years, buyers – especially in previously supply-strapped markets – have real choice and negotiating power. With confidence returning and further rate reductions expected into early 2026, we anticipate noticeably stronger activity by the spring.”
Following a slower-than-usual start to the year, home sales picked up late in the spring and have consistently increased over the last five months, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA).[2]
“Affordability is improving and the economic backdrop remains remarkably stable, yet consumer confidence is lagging,” said Soper. “Many buyers remain hesitant – some worried about broader economic uncertainty, others waiting to see if prices dip a little further before stepping in.”
The Royal LePage National House Price Composite is compiled from proprietary property data nationally and regionally in 64 of the nation’s largest real estate markets. When broken out by housing type, the national median price of a single-family detached home increased 1.2 per cent year over year to $860,600, while the median price of a condominium decreased 1.6 per cent to $580,700. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, the median price of a single-family detached home and a condominium declined 1.1 and 1.9 per cent, respectively. Price data, which includes both resale and new build, is provided by RPS Real Property Solutions, a leading Canadian real estate valuation company.
Compared to the peak of pandemic pricing in the spring of 2022, national home prices have come down by approximately five per cent, driven by depreciation in the urban centres of Toronto and Vancouver, where prices are currently sitting more than 12 per cent below the peak. Meanwhile, home prices have continued to appreciate in Quebec, the Prairies and Atlantic Canada.
“Buyer sentiment is being influenced by a complex mix of economic and psychological factors,” said Soper. “Despite materially improved affordability in major cities, many Canadians – particularly younger ones – remain cautious amid high post-pandemic living costs, perceived job uncertainty, and general unease about our economic prospects. It’s understandable that some are waiting before making such a significant purchase.”
Royal LePage is forecasting that the aggregate price of a home in Canada will increase 1.0 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to the same quarter last year. The previous forecast has been revised down to reflect price depreciation across Ontario and British Columbia, and slowing growth in other major markets.
