The City of Toronto had another uneven month. Downtown condos are still the slowest part of the market, while the east end keeps selling at or above asking. Overall, prices are below last year, but the benchmark held flat from September.
TRREB reported 2,184 sales in the City of Toronto in October at an average of $1,075,627 and a median of $835,000. Homes sold for 98 per cent of asking in 30 days on average. By our own count, 2,112 Toronto homes went firm this October against 2,333 a year earlier, a drop of 9.5 per cent.
The MLS® Home Price Index put Toronto's composite benchmark at $908,800, down 3.6 per cent on the year and essentially unchanged from September. Detached homes are down 3.8 per cent, semis and freehold towns 4.1 per cent, condo townhouses 6.9 per cent and condo apartments 7.0 per cent.

From TRREB's October 2026 Market Watch. Days is the average days on market; "of asking" is the average sale-to-list ratio.
The east end is the strongest part of the city. Leslieville and Riverdale (E01) sold for an average of 106 per cent of asking in just 13 days, and the Beaches (E02) for 104 per cent in 17 days. E02 also had the least supply in the city, at 2.3 months. At the other end, Central districts with expensive homes and lots of condos are slow: C12 (Bridle Path and York Mills) had 9 months of inventory, and C08 (downtown east) 6 months.

Scarborough's prices fell more than the city's. Every district from E04 to E11 is down more than Toronto's 3.6 per cent, and E08 and E06 the most, about 9 per cent. Homes still sell close to asking, though: E06 at 101 per cent and E07 at 100 per cent. Condos and condo townhouses have dropped hardest. Condo townhouses in E11 are down 15.4 per cent, and condo apartments in E10 and E11 about 12 to 13 per cent.
Why so many listings didn't sell
By our own count, about 3,600 Toronto listings ended in October without a sale, and so far about six in ten have been relisted.
What it means for you
If you're selling a house in the east end, you're in the strongest part of the city: priced right, homes in E01 to E03 are selling quickly and at or above asking. Condo sellers face a lot of competition, so the price has to be sharp from day one.
If you're buying in Scarborough, prices are 5 to 9 per cent below last year, more than the city average. That's the most room you'll find on houses within the city. Expect competition for well-priced homes in E06 and E07.
If you're an investor, Toronto condo apartments are down 7 per cent on the year and there's plenty of supply downtown. Rents, not a rebound, should make the case.
