The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board reported last week that home prices were down 5.4 per cent in June compared to last year, with the benchmark home price falling to $940,800.Prices in British Columbia fell 1.2 per cent in May to an average of $947,859, according to data from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA).SUBSCRIBER EXCLUSIVE: FP West: Energy Insider brings you behind the oilpatch’s closed doors with exclusive insights from insiders every Wednesday morning.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

Still, sales levels are likely to trail their 10-year averages in both markets by a comfortable margin.”TD expects prices to turn positive in both provinces in 2027, while B.C. may be on an even quicker timeline due to outperforming luxury home sales.Overall, CREA reports prices across the country climbed 1.5 per cent in the month, up to an average of $702,079.Meanwhile, TD expects prices on a national level to fall 0.3 per cent this year.“Even though sales growth is likely to be positive, the level of sales should remain low,” the report said. “In fact, our forecast sees sales taking until (the second half of 2027) to approach their pre-pandemic level, restrained by weak population growth and modest hiring activity over the projection horizon.”In Alberta, a real estate hot spot over the past few years, prices are up 2.5 per cent to date in 2026, but TD only expects a “modest gain” for the rest of the year, a downgrade from prior projections.
