Recent GTA numbers tell a revealing story: in late Q3, we saw 5,040 home sales—a year-over-year dip of about 9%—but new listings fell even more sharply, down 14% to 16,500. This shift tightened the sales-to-new-listings ratio slightly to around 31%, but it’s important to note this came from fewer properties hitting the market, not a surge in demand. Average...
