Key Points
- Home sales in the Greater Toronto Area have significantly declined, despite an increase in new listings and calls for further interest rate cuts from the Bank of Canada.
- The condo rental market in Toronto has shifted, providing renters with more options and slightly lower rents due to a surge in listings and high borrowing costs.
- Canadian mortgage arrears remain historically low, but rising unemployment and mortgage resets are expected to increase delinquencies in the near term.
