Real estate market is very hyper local. Even within 1 city such as Toronto there are about 500 smaller markets. Not each market is doing the same. Some home prices have dropped more than others. So find yourself a good real estate agent and ask for stats for your neighbourhood. That will give you a good idea on whether it’s a good idea to sell your house this year or not. And same for buyers, you’ll see if it’s a good time to buy or not.
Is the real estate market in the Toronto area going up or down in 2023? There seem to be mixed messages regarding the real estate market and home prices.
Take a look at real estate stats for the Toronto area (such as Halton, Peel, Toronto, York and Durham) without any sales pitch and see how the market is really doing.
See months of inventory, how long it’s taking for homes to sell, and much more.

Mexico’s former top law enforcement official — once tasked with fighting the country’s drug cartels — was convicted in New York on Tuesday of taking millions of dollars in bribes from traffickers.
Genaro García Luna, who headed Mexico’s federal police before serving as the nation’s secretary of public security more than a decade ago, was found guilty of cooperating with the Sinaloa cartel, which at the time was run by Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, who is serving a life sentence in a U.S. prison.
