Power of sale listings are starting to show up more often across the GTA — and while the numbers still look small, the signal behind them matters.
In this video, I walk through what the increase in power of sale activity actually tells us about the housing market, where the pressure is building, and why this trend deserves attention heading into 2026. We’ll also clear up some common misconceptions about power of sale properties and why they don’t automatically translate into bargains.
This is a grounded look at market stress, mortgage renewals, and affordability after a full year of higher rates — using data, not speculation.
If you’re trying to understand the direction of GTA real estate as a buyer, seller, or investor, this breakdown will help put recent headlines into context.
