The 2024 Toronto real estate market was marked by uncertainty. Despite multiple rate cuts by the Bank of Canada, buyers remained cautious, unsure of the right time to enter the market. As the year progressed, market activity started to pick up again, and with Justin Trudeau stepping down as Prime Minister, we’re anticipating significant changes ahead. The outlook for 2025 is optimistic, with expectations for the market to rebound by March.
