Destination within Mississauga – Port Credit
The Village of Port Credit has grown in recent years and is now considered a ‘destination’ within Mississauga. It is an easy commute to downtown Toronto and convenient to the GO train and public transit. Additionally, one can walk or bike there from the neighboring communities of Lorne Park, Clarkson, Mineola and Lakeview.
Take a stroll along Lakeshore Road and enjoy all that Port Credit has to offer. From sun up to sun down, whether it is a bagel or fine dining you are craving, Port Credit offers an impressive selection of culinary options including Mexican, Irish, Indian, British, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Jamaican and of course, Canadian! Diners, pubs, coffee shops, bakeries and fast food eateries round out the choices. Summer patios are always busy along the main thoroughfare from May through October and many of them are dog friendly!
In the evening visit one of the many local bars or lounges where you can enjoy a cocktail, watch sporting events on multiple screens or listen to live music. There is even an upscale pool hall!
There are numerous ways to stay fit in Port Credit too with both leisurely and hard core options available! On offer year around at various locations are boot camps, yoga, personal training, Taekwondo and dance lessons. Enjoy a stroll over the bridge to the lighthouse or walk, jog or cycle along a portion of the Waterfront Trail system. Avid sailors will be delighted to learn there is a local marina. Obtain a fishing license, charter a boat and spend some time fishing on the Port Credit River or Lake Ontario and enjoy the scenic views of this historic Village from the water! There are a variety of parks, including a skateboard one! The classic Port Credit Arena, built in 1958, is a hub of activity in the winter months, used by hockey teams, figure skaters and recreational skaters.
Port Credit offers an abundance of festivals during the summer months. The Waterfront Festival, Southside Shuffle, In-Water Boat Show, Buskerfest, the outdoor Art Show and Comedyfest are a few of the more popular ones. Canada Day is a Port Credit favorite with a full day of events capped by amazing evening fireworks. Even when there aren’t festivals taking place there are still a lot of options for families including playgrounds, public pools, the library and lakeside parks that are perfect for picnics.
Spas and salons are a year around presence here and there are several to choose from! There is even one spa that is dedicated to pampering pooches! Enjoy shopping at the clothing and specialty boutiques along Lakeshore Road.
There are the traditional grocery stores to shop at in Port Credit but there is also a Farmer’s Market every Saturday morning from June through October. Plus there is an Organic Grocery and other specialty food and drink shops.
We invite you to come and explore this family friendly, lakeside village which is also home to some top rated elementary and secondary schools.

FALL MARKET KICKOFF: September 2025 Real Estate Market Update
As summer winds down, the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) real estate market is shifting once again—this time with an important boost from the Bank of Canada’s recent interest rate cut. On September 17, 2025, the Bank lowered its policy interest rate to 2.5%, marking a significant move that is expected to reinvigorate buying activity across the region.
Market Snapshot: August 2025 (TRREB) 
According to the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), August brought encouraging signs of stability:
- Sales: 6,232 transactions across the GTA, a 4.6% increase from August 2024.
- New Listings: 13,119, down slightly year-over-year, helping balance supply.
- Average Selling Price: $982,880, nearly flat compared to last year (+0.4%).
- Trend: Balanced conditions are giving both buyers and sellers room to maneuver, with the recent rate cut expected to stimulate fall demand.
City & Regional Highlights
Toronto 
Toronto continues to see steady demand for condos and townhomes, appealing to buyers looking for affordability in the core. Detached homes are moving more cautiously, but price stability suggests confidence returning to the market.
Mississauga 
Mississauga remains a buyer-friendly market, especially in the detached and semi-detached segments. With borrowing costs easing, families upsizing or relocating may find strong value in the fall.
Oakville 
Luxury demand in Oakville is regaining traction. The combination of limited inventory and lower financing costs positions this market for an active fall season, especially for executive homes and lakefront properties.
Burlington 
Burlington continues to attract buyers migrating west from Toronto. The city’s blend of affordability, lifestyle, and community feel has kept prices steady and competitive.
Muskoka 
Cottage country remains strong, with buyers eyeing investment properties and second homes. While activity softened slightly through the summer, the rate drop could encourage more buyers to act before year-end.
What This Means for Buyers & Sellers
With interest rates now at their lowest level in two years, affordability is improving across the GTA and Muskoka. Buyers who were waiting on the sidelines are expected to re-enter the market this fall, while sellers may benefit from increased competition for well-priced homes.
At Regan Irish & Associates, we specialize in helping clients navigate market shifts with confidence. Whether you’re buying a luxury home, selling a family property, or investing in Muskoka, our market insight and negotiation expertise ensure you get the best results.

August 2025 GTA Real Estate Market Update | Regan Irish
The August 2025 GTA Real Estate Market Update reflects renewed momentum and affordability in Toronto, Oakville, Mississauga, Burlington, and Muskoka. Thanks to steady interest rates and appealing home prices, July proved surprisingly dynamic. Let’s dig into the numbers and what they mean for you.
Interest Rates Remain Stable — Affordability Fueling Activity
In July 2025, the Bank of Canada maintained its key rate at 2.75%, its third consecutive pause. With lower borrowing costs now more accessible, affordability is encouraging a wave of renewed buyer activity.
GTA Market Overview: Sales Surge, Prices Slightly Dip
- Home Sales: 6,100+ transactions region-wide, marking a 10.9% increase YoY and the strongest July since 2021.
- Month-over-Month: Seasonally adjusted sales rose 13% from June to approximately 5,744 units, the biggest monthly gain in nine months.
- New Listings: Up 5.7% YoY, totaling 17,613 new offers.
- Price Trends:
- The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) Composite Benchmark fell 5.4% YoY.
- The average GTA selling price dropped 5.5% YoY to around $1,051,719.
- Word on the street indicates the HPI drifted slightly lower—about $979,000, down 0.2% from June.
What It Adds Up To: Buyers are back in force—sales are outpacing new listings while prices softened, creating renewed market opportunities.
City Highlights
Toronto
A more balanced landscape—but some segments remain soft. Condos and detached homes see inventory rising; semis are steadier.
Oakville, Mississauga, Burlington & Muskoka
While TRREB doesn’t break down by city in these reports, regional trends suggest:
- Mississauga & Burlington: Strong rise in listings and dipping average prices give buyers leverage.
- Oakville: Stability in demand for luxury keeps discounts modest.
- Muskoka: Continued strong interest in sub-$2M waterfront properties should benefit from broader GTA momentum.
What This Means for You
- For Buyers:
Renewed affordability, rising inventory, and favorable interest rates make August a prime time to move. - For Sellers:
A more balanced market—strategic pricing and quick response will be key to success. - For Investors & Cottage Buyers:
Strong July sales in the GTA point to increasing investor interest; Muskoka remains a high-value lifestyle and investment destination.
