This quarter, Toronto experienced one of its strongest affordability improvements\u2014not because mortgages got easier to obtain, but because home prices themselves dropped by about 4%. That led to a roughly 2.5-point boost in affordability, bringing the payment-to-income ratio down to 68%. For those navigating the market, it\u2019s clear: recent relief has come from softer prices, not from lower mortgage rates. Looking ahead, buyers shouldn\u2019t count on rates to ease the path much further. Instead, the key to greater affordability will be steady income growth and keeping home price appreciation in check. Whether you\u2019re stepping into the market for the first time or planning your next move, understanding these shifts is essential for making confident decisions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the past decade working in Toronto real estate, I\u2019ve seen affordability shift in many directions, but Late-Q2 2026 stands out.
