GTA bidding competition edges up but sellers still wait for a turn

September brought a subtle rise in bidding competition here in the GTA—24% of homes sold above asking, up from 18% in August. Notably, single-family homes attracted more competitive offers than condos. Still, most properties changed hands below their list price, which suggests a seasonal uptick in buyer activity rather than a fundamental shift in the market. As someone who specializes in comparative market analysis and maximizing sale value, I always keep an eye on these trends to guide clients confidently—whether you’re aiming to sell for top dollar or find that perfect home. The numbers tell a story, and my focus is on helping you use them to your advantage.
