Here We Grow Again!

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Alex Irish & Associates is pleased to announce that we have recently created a Pre-Construction & New Homes division. In addition to our extremely successful ‘resale’ business, we will now feature exclusive partnerships with respected builders in Oakville, Mississauga, Toronto and Hamilton.

We have also been granted VIP Platinum status at a number of leading pre-construction condominium developments, ensuring our clients receive priority access and the opportunity to purchase a suite before the project reaches the open market.

To facilitate the opening of this new division, we welcome to our team, Donna Brookes, an industry expert in pre-construction developments. A distinguished realtor since 1987, Donna is a specialist in the sale of luxury real estate and new home and condominium projects. She has represented the sales of the Shangri-La Residences (Toronto); the first release of the Randall Residences and the original Edgemere Estates (Oakville); Millpond Residences and Lorabay (Thornbury); and the F.R.A.M. Port Credit Village community.

We recognize that many of our clients who are considering a move or the purchase of an investment property will want to receive advance sales information and have the opportunity to purchase one of our prominent, pre-construction projects prior to their public release.

Early access ensures you will receive the widest range of buying opportunities and entry level pricing. If you are interested in receiving periodic updates on available pre-construction projects, please contact us.

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.
