In Q2, Toronto\u2019s overall affordability measure dipped by about a point to ~64% across all housing types\u2014a modest improvement, but we\u2019re still among the least affordable markets tracked. Most of this relief came thanks to rising incomes, with home prices showing early signs of steadying. What stands out to me: condos have reached their most favourable affordability since 2017, opening up a more attainable entry point for buyers who may have felt priced out. Still, even with this easing, Toronto ranks second worst for overall affordability, just about a point away from a shift in the standings. It\u2019s also the smallest quarterly improvement since the recovery began in Q1 2024\u2014though we\u2019re still moving in the right direction faster than most markets.
