Toronto home sales rise the most in four months as affordability improves
June 4, 2025
Greater Toronto Area home sales in May posted their biggest increase in four months, and prices edged higher as homebuyers took advantage of the recent improvement in affordability, Toronto Regional Real Estate Board data showed on Wednesday.Seasonally adjusted sales increased 8.4 per cent on a month-over-month basis to 4,693 units, the second straight month of gains and the biggest increase since January. TRREB’s home price index edged up 0.1 per cent to $992,800, which was the first increase since November.
Officials say a wildfire near Squamish, B.C., which forced the evacuation of the nearby Alice Lake Provincial Park and triggered a local state of emergency earlier this week, is now classified as being held after help from cool, cloudy weather conditions.The BC Wildfire Service announced the fire was being held, meaning the fire is expected to remain within its current perimeter based on fuel and weather conditions and resource availability, on Saturday afternoon.
