Is late August the best time to buy a home in Toronto? The numbers say it is one of only three windows all year where buyers hold the leverage. Last year the average City of Toronto price dropped $52,000 from July to August, then jumped $97,000 from August to September. Just one in three listings is finding a buyer, and the average home is sitting 45 days.In this episode, Fox Marin co-founders Ralph Fox and Kori Marin walk through a slide by slide look at the summer slump: what the July 2026 GTA numbers show, why half of Toronto's agents are on vacation right now, and why a seller staring at a silent phone in the last week of August is far more receptive to a conversation than they will be on September 8.
