Toronto Home Sales Jump 9.4% in June: What It Means for Buyers, Sellers & Landlords

  The GTA market just posted its strongest month of the year. Here's what the numbers actually mean if you're buying, selling, or renting out property in Ontario. 6,770 GTA home sales, June $1,058,658 Average selling price -5.4% MLS HPI, year-over-year The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) reported 6,770 home sales across the Greater Toronto Area in June 2026, up 9.4% from June 2025 and up 1.4% from May on a seasonally adjusted basis.

Supreme Court Decision Sparks Debate Over Alien Enemies Act


The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of former President Donald Trump, allowing the use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members. This decision, made in a 5-4 vote, has reignited discussions about the application of this wartime law in modern times.

The Alien Enemies Act, historically employed during wartime, grants the president authority to deport individuals deemed a national security risk. Trump's administration invoked this law to expedite the deportation of members of the Tren de Aragua gang. However, the court emphasized that detainees must be given notice and an opportunity to challenge their removal through habeas corpus claims.

Critics argue that the law's application in this context exceeds its intended scope, as it was designed for wartime scenarios involving foreign governments. Supporters, however, view the decision as a victory for national security and presidential authority.

The ruling has sparked legal and ethical debates, with dissenting justices questioning the legitimacy of using the Alien Enemies Act for non-state actors like gangs. The case continues to highlight tensions between executive power and judicial oversight in immigration policy.
