Toronto home prices dipped again in September and have now fallen 17% from their spring peak, as evidence grows that buyers and sellers are growing wary of doing deals.

The benchmark price for a home in Canada’s largest city fell a further 1.2% from August, adding to the string of declines that began in April, according to data released Wednesday from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board.
