A total of 6,583 homes in the region changed hands last month, up 6.3 per cent compared with May 2025, while sales also increased 10 per cent from April on a seasonally adjusted basis.

The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board says the average selling price was down 4.6 per cent year-over-year to $1,069,700, and the composite benchmark price, meant to represent the typical home, was down 6.7 per cent.
TRREB chief information officer Jason Mercer says selling prices could start to grow in the back half of the year if sales continue to strengthen relative to listings, but buyers have “substantial negotiating power” for now.
