Canada’s housing market isn’t one-size-fits-all — and that’s more true than ever in 2025. While some cities are heating up with bidding wars, others are still slow-moving. So, is it a buyer’s market or a seller’s market? The answer: It depends on your postal code.
In Ontario, we’re seeing a split in market conditions. Some neighbourhoods are still in demand and moving fast. Others? Not so much. National headlines can be helpful, but when it comes to real estate, local knowledge is what really matters.
At
Team OLIVIERI, we’re seeing this shift firsthand. Homeowners are asking, “Is now the right time to sell?” Buyers want to know if they can still find value. The truth is, both answers rely on your local trends.
