Prices, too, have come under pressure. The composite benchmark price for a home in the Greater Toronto Area peaked at $1,370,000 in March of 2022, according to figures from TRREB, but as of February were down 18 per cent from there.

The overnight rate sat at 0.25 per cent for all of 2021. A previously hot market seemingly got hotter that year.
