TSX Eyes Gains as Trump-Xi Summit Looms and Oil Steadies Near $95

Canadian Money Brief · Monday, May 11, 2026 Canadian equities are set for a cautious but constructive open this Monday as investors balance a packed macro calendar against an energy sector still reeling from one of its most volatile weeks in recent memory. TSX at a Glance The S&P/TSX Composite closed Friday at 34,077.76 , up 221 points (+0.65%) to cap a week dominated by whipsaw oil moves and a fragile Middle East ceasefire.

Toronto Condo Market Faces Historic Decline in Q3 Sales

 

The Toronto region’s condominium market is experiencing a significant downturn, with sales plummeting by 81% in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year. This dramatic drop marks the lowest quarterly total since the first quarter of 1995.

Only 567 new condos were sold in the third quarter, a stark contrast to previous years. This decline is not only a year-over-year issue but also represents an 87% decrease below the ten-year average for third-quarter condo sales.

Experts attribute this slump to a combination of factors, including rising interest rates, economic uncertainty, and a shift in buyer preferences towards other types of housing. The current market conditions have left many developers and investors concerned about the future of the condo sector in the Greater Toronto Area.

As the market continues to navigate these challenges, stakeholders are closely monitoring trends and potential policy changes that could help stabilize and revive condo sales in the coming quarters.
