GTA Sees Most Buyer-Friendly Real Estate Market in Recent Years

–

TORONTO, ONT. —January 7, 2026 — December capped off one of the most buyer-friendly years the Greater Toronto Area housing market has seen in recent memory.

According to new data from digital real estate platform Wahi, 98% of GTA neighbourhoods with at least five home sales in December saw prices bid below asking — matching the highest monthly level of underbidding recorded in 2025.

Only four of the 240 neighbourhoods with five or more transitions saw homes sell above asking ー almost all with median list prices under $1 million, suggesting that what little competition remains is concentrated in more affordable pockets. Meanwhile, pricier pockets, such as Forest Hill, York Mills, and The Annex, saw homes sell for between $124,000 and $229,000 below list prices.

The full analysis highlights the GTA’s most overbid and underbid neighbourhoods, revealing where buyers hold the most negotiating power.

The complete report, with downloadable charts, is available here.

Wahi Economist Ryan McLaughlin is available to break down why underbidding remains near all-time highs and which neighbourhoods are the most buyer-friendly.
