Toronto is now in the moderate bubble-risk range, with inflation-adjusted home prices falling around 10% year-over-year\u2014the steepest reset among major global cities. Benchmark pricing has softened too; Toronto\u2019s composite home-price measure is down about 5% year-over-year (seasonally adjusted), with values hovering near $931,000. While condo affordability appears slightly improved based on income alone, the reality sets in when you factor in mortgage interest, maintenance, taxes, and the risk premium: owning remains significantly more expensive than renting for many families. For buyers, sellers, and investors, this creates a narrow window of opportunity\u2014prices are softer, but if demand returns faster than new supply, the market could tighten quickly. To restore 2019-level affordability, Toronto would need to increase annual housing starts by at least 50% over the next decade.
