In mid-Q3, only 2% of qualifying GTA neighbourhoods experienced overbidding, down from 3% earlier in the quarter. Out of 267 neighbourhoods, 97% saw homes sell below asking and just 1% sold at asking price, making bidding wars a rare event across the region. Notably, the gap between condo and single-family home markets continues to narrow: 95% of single-family neighbourhoods and 98% of condo neighbourhoods saw underbidding. With 4,200 homes sold in this period, 79% closed below asking\u2014a subtle uptick from the previous quarter. This quieter market, as one economist described, means that buyers are facing less competition than before.
