past year has been the widespread absence of competition among homebuyers.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThroughout 2025, homebuyers have had the upper hand, and December was certainly no exception,\u201d said Wahi Economist Ryan McLaughlin in the report. \u201cWhile economic uncertainty has kept some would-be buyers sidelined, many of those that have moved forward with plans to purchase have been able to negotiate lower prices.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, some neighbourhoods have been considerably more buyer-friendly than others. To gauge local market conditions and identify the top buyer-friendly neighbourhoods of 2025, Wahi reviewed a year of Market Pulse data comparing sales and list prices.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The following four GTA communities appeared in Wahi\u2019s monthly roundup of the top five underbidding neighbourhoods more frequently than any others. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”32px||23px|||” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”1px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider show_divider=”off” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” height=”30px” custom_margin=”||-6px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ disabled_on=”on|on|on” admin_label=”Section” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f0faf4″ custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” disabled=”on” global_module=”307775″ locked=”off” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/wahi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Frame-7488.png” alt=”Wahi Cashback – Listings” title_text=”Wahi Cashback – Listings” url=”https:\/\/wahi.com\/ca\/en\/buy\/wahi-price” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”margin: auto;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text content_tablet=”<\/p>\n ” content_phone=”<\/p>\n ” content_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Poppins||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#38505b” header_2_font_size=”28px” header_2_line_height=”40px” header_3_font_size=”1.53rem” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”85%” max_width_last_edited=”on|phone” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” header_line_height_tablet=”” header_line_height_phone=”” header_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”1.53rem” header_2_font_size_phone=”1.4rem” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_line_height_tablet=”3.75rem” header_2_line_height_phone=”2.5rem” header_2_line_height_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider divider_weight=”3px” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100px” module_alignment=”left” height=”11px” custom_margin=”||14px||false|false” module_alignment_tablet=”left” module_alignment_phone=”center” module_alignment_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text content_tablet=”<\/p>\n A smart move starts with Wahi.

Once a hot spot for bidding wars, in the post-pandemic years the region has been decidedly less competitive. This was especially true in 2025, when underbidding \u2014 which occurs when homes sell for less than the list price \u2014 matched an all-time high at multiple points in the year. In December, 98% of GTA neighbourhoods with at least five home sales during the month were in underbidding territory, according to Wahi\u2019s latest Market Pulse report<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\nThe GTA\u2019s Most Underbid Neighbourhoods of 2025

1. York Mills<\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/b>Number of home sales: 130<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/span>Overtaking Eastlake \u2014 which was 2024\u2019s most underbid neighbourhood \u2014 is York Mills, in north Toronto. The community entered the monthly underbidding top five eight times in 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n2. Eastlake<\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/b>Number of home sales: 116<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/span>
<\/span>In 2024, it also led all of the other approximately 400 neighbourhoods across the GTA for underbidding, <\/span>making 11 appearances in the top five<\/span><\/a>. The only month in 2024 Eastlake did not join the leader board was September, which ended a jaw-dropping 15-month streak of top-five appearances. <\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>At the time, one local Realtor chalked up Eastlake\u2019s underbidding trend to the growing number of new custom homes that have been cropping up in the neighbourhood in recent years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n3. Forest Hill<\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/b>Number of home sales: 114\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/span>Last year was also a rough one for sellers in Forest Hill, an affluent enclave known for some of the priciest real estate in the GTA. For nearly half the year (five months), it was one of the region\u2019s most underbid neighbourhoods.<\/span><\/p>\n
The neighbourhood <\/span>made headlines last year<\/span><\/a> for tough-to-sell conditions. <\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>\u201cThere\u2019s no urgency in the market right now, which makes it a good time to buy. House hunters can take their time, shop around and wait for something that truly fits their needs,\u201d REALTOR\u00ae Howard Lende, Forest Hill Real Estate told <\/span>Toronto Life<\/span><\/i><\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s rare to see the Toronto market this relaxed and leisurely. Even with pent-up buyer interest and lower rates, there\u2019s still no clear signal that activity is going to pick up any time soon.\u201d<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>However, it hasn\u2019t all been bad news for sellers in Forest Hill. In Q3, the neighbourhood was one of eight neighbourhoods to see at least five homes sell for more than $3 million, <\/span>according to Wahi analysis<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n4. Lawrence Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Riverdale Was 2025\u2019s Most Overbid Neighbourhood <\/b>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
In a year when at some points there weren\u2019t even five GTA neighbourhoods in overbidding territory, Toronto\u2019s Riverdale has seen some properties continue to attract multiple offers. This has pushed the east-end community into the top five overbidding neighbourhoods five times in the last 12 months.<\/p>\nYou might also like<\/h2>\n
