luxury market velocity across Canada. While interest rates eased, policy remained a key influence on market behaviour. Foreign buyer restrictions, land transfer taxes and non-resident levies continued to suppress discretionary activity at the top end, particularly in Toronto and Vancouver. When Canada’s Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act ends (currently set for January 1, 2027), expect increased competition, particularly for luxury and pre-construction homes.

underscoring stable demand for homes offering space, privacy and access to the coast.
Average home prices inched upward across most luxury price bands, supported by tight supply and continued population growth, while the number of new listings rose at all price points. Halifax ended the year with a late-season surge in activity, particularly through October, following two rate cuts from the Bank of Canada that boosted momentum across the $1 million-plus market. Despite a more favourable lending environment, buyer sentiment failed to keep pace with improving market fundamentals. Throughout 2025, Halifax operated as a seller’s market with a buyer’s market mentality — prices edged upward, albeit modestly, even as many purchasers approached with heightened caution and conservative expectations. Turnkey listings in coveted areas such as the South End and Bedford commanded multiple offers, while properties requiring updates or priced above market expectations lingered and faced gradual adjustments.
“Halifax’s premium market is expanding, with modern architectural gems and historic properties emerging. Many were held for decades, making today’s inventory rare and sought-after.”
Policy also played a significant role in shaping demand.

Advisor Commentary Nova Scotia’s luxury market is seeing unprecedented interest from buyers across Canada and abroad. Architectural coastal properties like Rockbound perfectly illustrate why. It represents the new face of Atlantic luxury, design-driven, environmentally mindful and deeply connected to place. While comparable oceanfront architectural homes in markets such as British Columbia or New England often trade at two to three times the price, Nova Scotia continues to offer exceptional value without compromising on design or setting. Today’s buyers are seeking meaningful architecture and a true sense of refuge. Rockbound delivers a home sculpted from the coastline, with privacy and craftsmanship. As prices remain comparatively attainable, properties of this calibre are attracting design-savvy purchasers who recognize the province’s growing profile in architectural excellence and sustainable coastal living.
Nova Scotia’s luxury market remains resilient, with architecturally significant coastal homes seeing strong demand and multiple $4 million plus sales recorded this fall.

Across the island and surrounding communities, average prices for homes over $1 million held firm, underscoring the resilience of Montréal’s premium market even as the number of new listings grew. Declining borrowing costs and improved clarity encouraged qualified buyers to re-enter the market, resulting in smoother, more strategic transactions compared to 2024. Despite higher inventory, the luxury segment remained fundamentally strong. Buyers approached 2025 with a more focused mindset — driven by architectural quality, location, space flexibility and sustainability. Engel & Völkers Montréal converted this momentum into record performance, supported by rising exclusive listings and consistent price premiums. Lifestyle shifts continued to shape housing choices. Families and professionals increasingly favoured areas that offered character, access to green spaces, hybridwork compatibility and multi-generational living potential.
“Montréal’s luxury market has transitioned from caution to strategic confidence. Prices held firm, qualified demand strengthened and buyers remained highly focused on quality and architecture.”
The $1-3.99 million tier remained the foundation of Montréal’s luxury market. Between January and December 2025, 5,598 residential class properties were listed in this segment, compared to 4,613 during the same period in 2024 — up 21 per cent year-over-year.

Advisor Commentary Celebrated locally for its architectural significance and inspired by the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright, the home stands as a true masterpiece within the community. Taking the lead as listing agent and collaborating with Félix Jasmin, Engel & Völkers Montréal Outremont, played a key role in achieving the successful sale of this exquisite home. Securing the second-highest sale in Outremont in 2025, the transaction reflected both the property’s stature and the strength of today’s high-end market. With rising demand for heritage and architecturally significant homes in Outremont, 177 Av. Maplewood remains a defining example of the value placed on design pedigree and preserved craftsmanship.
Outremont’s luxury market is strengthening, with seven sales above $3 million in the first half of 2025, driven by lower rates and limited high-end single-family supply.

confidence aligned to lift market activity. By early summer, Engel & Völkers affiliated advisors were reporting consistent showings and a deeper pool of qualified buyers. Across the city, overall sales volume for residential and condo class properties in the $1 million-plus segment rose 39 per cent year-over-year, reinforcing Ottawa’s reputation as one of Canada’s most stable luxury markets amid continued national volatility. Despite higher inventory, residential home prices remained remarkably stable, extending the multi-year pattern of flat but resilient strength. Buyers approached the market deliberately rather than with urgency. Decision timelines lengthened, financing and inspection conditions reappeared, and negotiation margins widened as buyers scrutinized layout efficiencies, renovation requirements and neighbourhood trajectories. Engel & Völkers advisors noted a rise in “micro-bursts,” short-lived pockets of intense activity in high-demand areas where well-priced, well-located homes continued to attract multiple offers. Yet across the broader market, days-on-market reached
“Ottawa’s luxury market has matured into a stable, informed environment. Prices are steady, buyers are discerning and value is increasingly defined at a street-bystreet level. Strategic pricing and trusted guidance matter more than ever, bringing clarity around true value, which is essential for both buyers and sellers.”
their highest level in nearly a decade, a clear indicator of the market’s shift toward balance. The $1-1.99 million residential class segment remained Ottawa’s anchor. New listings in this tier surged, with 2,189 residential class properties coming to market, a 59 per

Advisor Commentary This spectacular waterfront estate is far more than a home, it’s a complete lifestyle experience. Set on its own serene bay, it delivers an unmatched blend of privacy, recreation and refined living. From mornings spent kayaking along the shoreline to afternoons by the pool or on the tennis court, every element is designed for ease and connection to the outdoors. Comparable waterfront homes have recently sold for just over $4 million on smaller parcels, highlighting the value of this estate. Its resort-style amenities and flexible, enthusiast-friendly layout make this property an extraordinary value within the current market for premier waterfront homes.
Luxury real estate demand in Manotick continues to rise, with tight inventory and rising buyer confidence driving strong interest in large estates and premium waterfront properties.

environment. Turnkey offerings in high-demand areas such as Riverdale, the Beaches, Leaside and Avenue Road and Lawrence continued to outperform the broader market in both velocity and price retention. Policy shifts played an influential role throughout 2025. Toronto’s expanded Municipal Land Transfer Tax (MLTT), which introduced significantly higher marginal rates for purchases over $3 million, materially increased closing costs at the top end of the market. Combined with the federal extension of the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act to 2027, this created friction for discretionary luxury buyers, especially those weighing alternative markets with lower transaction costs. The result was a noticeable cooling in the $2 millionplus categories, not driven by a lack of wealth, but by strategic wait-and-see behaviour.
“It’s a precision market. Turnkey homes still move quickly, but buyers are scrutinizing every detail, price, taxes, carrying costs and long-term value to detail — price, tax, carrying cost and long-term value.”
The $1-1.99 million tier remained the bedrock of Toronto’s luxury market. Between January and December 2025,

Advisor Commentary 47 Danville’s pricing strategy is aligned with the area’s top-tier custom homes rather than typical detached sales. Its rare 60 foot frontage alone sets it apart in St. Andrew-Windfields, where wide lots are prized and only available occasionally. With ultraluxury properties trading infrequently in this enclave, discerning buyers who value craftsmanship, premium finishes and a standout lot will immediately recognize its strong value and long-term potential. The response to this listing reinforces the strength returning to Toronto’s upper tier. High-net-worth buyers have been notably active, and the steady stream of inquiries and showings reflects the appeal of quality homes in premier locations.
Toronto’s high-net-worth buyers are exceptionally active and wellexecuted luxury homes in premier neighbourhoods continue to draw strong interest and decisive activity.

and realistic. The year began with cautious optimism and ended with a clear shift toward equilibrium. Quality properties sold, and well-positioned buyers found opportunities. Detached homes continued to define Vancouver’s market identity. Sales volume improved meaningfully across the mid-luxury segments, with activity under $3 million leading the way. Between January and December 2025, detached sales priced $1-1.99 million declined from 3,705 transactions in 2024 to 3,368 in 2025, while the $2-3.99 million category recorded 2,134 detached sales, down slightly from 2,887 a year earlier, despite higher new-listing counts. Average sale prices across these mid-luxury bands held firm, ranging between $1.49 million and $1.56 million for detached homes and $2.5 million to $2.7 million for those in the $2-3.99 million range. New listings rose modestly year-over-year — reflecting sellers’ renewed confidence — though the quality of inventory remained mixed. New detached home listings priced $1-1.99 million climbed from 7,358 in 2024 to 8,718 in 2025, while those between $2-3.99 million grew from
“Vancouver has entered a new phase of maturity. The days of frenzied bidding and speculation are behind us, but that’s not a weakness. It’s about stability. Quality properties are still commanding strong prices, and informed buyers are finding real opportunity. It’s a balanced market driven by intention rather than impulse.”

Advisor Commentary This sale reflects the realities of today’s softer, rate-driven market. Even a well-built, beautifully maintained home in a desirable area required a price adjustment before buyers engaged. Although the original March listing price aligned with recent comparables, activity remained limited, underscoring how sensitive buyers are to pricing right now. Once the property was offered at $2,899,000, interest increased immediately, and two offers followed within the first week, leading to a successful sale. We continue to advise sellers to price ahead of the market rather than behind it. Conditions are shifting quickly and a price that feels right based on past sales may already be too high by the time the listing launches. Longer days on market and multiple adjustments are becoming more common, but motivated buyers are still active, provided a home is positioned with today’s realities in mind.
Langley’s luxury market remains price-sensitive, with strong interest for quality homes that meet current buyer expectations on value, condition and location.
