The Canadian housing market continues to show signs of recalibration in 2025. According to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), national home sales rose 3.8% month over month in July and were up 6.6% year over year. Yet, the national MLS® Home Price Index fell 3.4% compared to July 2024, reflecting ongoing price softening even as buyers return to the market (Canadian Real Estate Association, 2025a).
Regional differences tell a more nuanced story. The Greater Toronto Area rebounded with a 35.5% increase in activity since March, while Alberta markets like Edmonton posted steady growth, with average home prices rising 5.1% year over year to $463,078 (WOWA, 2025). For REALTORS® this means opportunity is returning but it requires sharper tools to stand out in a mixed market.
