Compared to last month, which just broke the long-term negative year-on-year trend, April&#8217;s data has moved from a &#8220;slight turnaround&#8221; to a more significant &#8220;volume rebound.&#8221; This indicates that buyers are returning to the market at a significantly faster pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong><strong>\ud83d\udccc Supply Side: 17,097 New Listings, Down 9.3% Year-on-Year<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">While transaction volume is rebounding, supply is contracting. New listings this month totaled 17,097 units, a 9.3% year-on-year decrease. This indicates that the supply-demand balance is shifting from a &#8220;severely buyer-biased&#8221; trend towards a more balanced one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1134\" height=\"1172\" src=\"https:\/\/hanhomesoldrealty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ENG\u4ef7\u683c\u8868.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30170\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:768px;height:794px\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hanhomesoldrealty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ENG\u4ef7\u683c\u8868.jpg 1134w, https:\/\/hanhomesoldrealty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ENG\u4ef7\u683c\u8868-290x300.jpg 290w, https:\/\/hanhomesoldrealty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ENG\u4ef7\u683c\u8868-768x794.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1134px) 100vw, 1134px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udce6 <strong>Inventory Level: 4.2 Months, Buyer Advantage Continues to Weaken<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Active listings in April totaled 25,110 units, a 6% year-over-year decrease. Inventory levels continued to decline from 4.3 months in the previous month to 4.2 months. As inventory is further depleted, buyers&#8217; bargaining power is gradually weakening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\ud83d\udcb0 Price Trend: Average Price Rebounds to $1.052 Million<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The average price in April returned to $1.052 million, a 3.3% increase from $1.017 million in the previous month. Although the price recovery is faster, it remains at a historically low level overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>\u23f1\ufe0f Liquidity: 43 Days on the Market, Selling Speed \u200b\u200bContinues to Accelerate<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The average number of days a home remained on the market was 43 days, a further decrease from 47 days in March, and continuing the trend of narrowing the gap compared to last year. This continued improvement in market liquidity demonstrates increased transaction activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udd0d<strong> Where exactly is the market bottom?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">While the recovery in transaction volume is accelerating, it&#8217;s too early to call it a trend reversal. Regarding market trends in the next few years, we need to pay attention to the following two key variables:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>\u26a0\ufe0f Negative Uncertainties: Inflation and Employment Expectations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Inflation and Interest Rates:<\/strong> Rising energy prices due to the Middle East situation may trigger a rebound in inflation, limiting the central bank&#8217;s easing space. An unclear interest rate path will directly impact buyers&#8217; mortgage lending capacity and market confidence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Income Expectations:<\/strong> Economic cycles and technological changes (such as changes in employment structure brought about by AI) are causing households to be cautious about the future, which is the core factor currently suppressing housing demand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u2705 <strong>Positive Support Points: Excess Demand and Supply Gap<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Supply Gap<\/strong>: New home starts in the Greater Toronto Area are only half the average of the past 20 years. If new supply remains below historical levels for the next few years, the supply-demand structure will fundamentally change.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Demand Potential:<\/strong> Current transaction volume is at a 20-year low (only one-third of the peak), but the nearly 400,000 new immigrants arriving are still at a historical high (the 30-year average is only 200,000). This means there is huge unmet demand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udfc1 <strong>The Future of Supply and Demand<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Predicting the direction of the housing market is essentially a game of strategy: are you more worried about &#8220;continued suppression of demand&#8221; or &#8220;severe shortage of supply in the future&#8221;?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\ud83d\udccd <strong>I am Pris Han<\/strong>, the GTA Realtor for all your first-time needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Published on: 2025-05-07<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read More:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hanhomesoldrealty.com\/en\/gta-real-estate-market-watch-march-2026\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/hanhomesoldrealty.com\/en\/gta-real-estate-market-watch-march-2026\/\">GTA Real Estate Market Watch March 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hanhomesoldrealty.com\/en\/gta-real-estate-market-watch-february-2026\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/hanhomesoldrealty.com\/en\/gta-real-estate-market-watch-february-2026\/\">GTA Real Estate Market Watch&nbsp;February 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hanhomesoldrealty.com\/en\/gta-real-estate-market-watch-january-2026\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/hanhomesoldrealty.com\/en\/gta-real-estate-market-watch-january-2026\/\">GTA Real Estate Market Watch\u00a0January 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Schedule a free consultation and discover your personalized strategy for buying and selling your home!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">var gform;gform||(document.addEventListener(\"gform_main_scripts_loaded\",function(){gform.scriptsLoaded=!0}),window.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\",function(){gform.domLoaded=!0}),gform={domLoaded:!1,scriptsLoaded:!1,initializeOnLoaded:function(o){gform.domLoaded&&gform.scriptsLoaded?o():!gform.domLoaded&&gform.scriptsLoaded?window.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\",o):document.addEventListener(\"gform_main_scripts_loaded\",o)},hooks:{action:{},filter:{}},addAction:function(o,n,r,t){gform.addHook(\"action\",o,n,r,t)},addFilter:function(o,n,r,t){gform.addHook(\"filter\",o,n,r,t)},doAction:function(o){gform.doHook(\"action\",o,arguments)},applyFilters:function(o){return gform.doHook(\"filter\",o,arguments)},removeAction:function(o,n){gform.removeHook(\"action\",o,n)},removeFilter:function(o,n,r){gform.removeHook(\"filter\",o,n,r)},addHook:function(o,n,r,t,i){null==gform.hooks[o][n]&&(gform.hooks[o][n]=[]);var e=gform.hooks[o][n];null==i&&(i=n+\"_\"+e.length),gform.hooks[o][n].push({tag:i,callable:r,priority:t=null==t?10:t})},doHook:function(n,o,r){var t;if(r=Array.prototype.slice.call(r,1),null!=gform.hooks[n][o]&&((o=gform.hooks[n][o]).sort(function(o,n){return o.priority-n.priority}),o.forEach(function(o){\"function\"!=typeof(t=o.callable)&&(t=window[t]),\"action\"==n?t.apply(null,r):r[0]=t.apply(null,r)})),\"filter\"==n)return r[0]},removeHook:function(o,n,t,i){var r;null!=gform.hooks[o][n]&&(r=(r=gform.hooks[o][n]).filter(function(o,n,r){return!!(null!=i&&i!=o.tag||null!=t&&t!=o.priority)}),gform.hooks[o][n]=r)}});<\/script>\n                <div class='gf_browser_gecko gform_wrapper gravity-theme' id='gform_wrapper_12' >\n                        <div class='gform_heading'>\n                            <span class='gform_description'><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class='gform_required_legend'>&quot;<span class=\"gfield_required gfield_required_asterisk\">*<\/span>&quot;
