In this episode of The Last Honest Realtor, David breaks down what’s actually happening in Toronto’s freehold market as 2026 gets underway. Despite headlines calling it a buyer’s market, competition is already fierce for high-quality homes, especially in the city’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
David explains why A-grade properties are still selling exceptionally well and why January through March could be more competitive than the spring. He also explores why entry-level freehold homes are making a comeback, and why much of the 905 continues to struggle.
