Toronto’s west end held up better than most of the city in 2026. From January to October, detached medians were $1,850,000 in W01 (High Park, Roncesvalles), $1,637,500 in W02 (Junction, Bloor West) and $882,500 in W03, with homes selling for 101% to 104% of asking. Tight supply points to steady house prices in 2027.
This guide is for anyone buying, selling or owning a home in Toronto’s west end, from High Park and Roncesvalles to the Junction, Bloor West Village and the neighbourhoods along Eglinton West. You will get three years of sold prices by home type, how fast homes are selling, rents, what Line 5 and the multiplex rules change, and what to expect in 2027, with my own view labelled.
What are house prices in Toronto’s west end in 2026?
A detached house in Toronto’s west end sold for a median of $882,500 to $1,850,000 from January to October 2026, depending on the TRREB district. I use three core west end districts here. W01 covers High Park-Swansea, Roncesvalles and South Parkdale. W02 covers High Park North, the Junction Area, Runnymede-Bloor West Village, Lambton Baby Point and Dovercourt-Wallace Emerson-Junction. W03 covers Rockcliffe-Smythe, Keelesdale-Eglinton West, Caledonia-Fairbank, Corso Italia-Davenport and Weston-Pellam Park. I also show W04 (the former City of York, including Mount Dennis, Weston and Maple Leaf) for comparison, but I keep it separate.
| Detached, Jan–Oct | 2024 median | 2025 median | 2026 median | Change vs 2025 | 2026 sales | Avg days on market 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| W01 (High Park-Swansea, Roncesvalles) | $1,972,500 | $1,999,000 | $1,850,000 | -7.5% | 111 | 16 |
| W02 (Junction, Bloor West Village) | $1,670,000 | $1,655,500 | $1,637,500 | -1.1% | 194 | 14 |
| W03 (Rockcliffe-Smythe, Corso Italia) | $950,000 | $942,500 | $882,500 | -6.4% | 190 | 29 |
| W04 (York, Mount Dennis, Weston) | $1,150,000 | $1,071,240 | $995,000 | -7.1% | 234 | 29 |
Source: TRREB MLS data via REALM, January–October 2026 vs the same period of 2025 and 2024. West end = W01, W02 and W03; W04 shown separately. District medians, not neighbourhood prices. Not a forecast.
The spread is huge. A detached house in W01 costs about twice what one in W03 does, even though some streets are only a few kilometres apart. W02 barely moved in 2026, down just 1.1%, while the citywide picture was weaker: the detached median fell in 32 of Toronto’s 35 districts.
How much do semis, townhouses and condos cost in the west end?
Semi-detached houses are the west end’s signature home, and they held their value better than most. Condos are where buyers have more room to negotiate, with one exception.
| Jan–Oct 2026 | Semi median | Semi change vs 2025 | Condo townhouse median | Condo apartment median | Condo apt change vs 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| W01 | $1,517,313 | -1.9% | $750,000 | $612,000 | -9.4% |
| W02 | $1,250,000 | -3.8% | $804,366 | $612,500 | -11.9% |
| W03 | $948,400 | -6.6% | $641,500 | $566,950 | +4.7% |
| W04 | $915,000 | -2.1% | $605,000 | $476,500 | -7.5% |
Source: TRREB MLS data via REALM, January–October 2026 vs the same period of 2025. W03 had only 46 condo apartment sales and 11 condo townhouse sales, so its figures can swing with a few deals.
W03 was one of only four Toronto districts where the condo apartment median rose in 2026. That is a small market, though, and I would not read too much into it. In W01 and W02, condo medians fell by about 9% to 12%, in line with the citywide condo slowdown.
Condo rents are steady. In the second quarter of 2026, TRREB reported average one-bedroom condo rents of $2,355 in W01 and $2,202 in W02, and two-bedroom averages of $3,123 and $2,942. That compares with $2,316 and $3,154 across the City of Toronto.
Is the west end of Toronto a seller’s market?
For houses, yes, more than almost anywhere else in the city. From January to October 2026, W01, W02 and W03 together sold about 50 detached houses a month and had 146 active detached listings, which is under three months of supply. Semis were tighter still, at a little over two months. Those are my own calculations from the REALM data. By contrast, the same three districts had close to six months of condo apartment supply.
Sale prices tell the same story. For all home types sold from January to October 2026, TRREB reports that homes in W02 sold for 104% of their asking price on average, W01 for 102% and W03 for 101%, compared with 98% for the City of Toronto as a whole. In October 2026 alone, semi-detached houses in W01 and W02 sold for 105% of asking on average. In my experience, offer dates still work for well-priced west end houses.
W04 is different. Its detached listings rose from 104 in 2024 to 126 in 2026 while sales slipped, leaving about five months of supply. Buyers there have more time and more leverage.

How do High Park and Roncesvalles compare with the Junction and Bloor West Village?
W01 is the priciest part of the west end. It combines High Park-Swansea, Roncesvalles and South Parkdale. It is also a small market, with 111 detached sales in ten months, so the right house can draw a crowd. My comparison of High Park-Swansea and Roncesvalles covers the day-to-day differences.
W02 is the busiest detached market of the three, with 194 sales, and it sold fastest at 14 days on average. It includes the Junction, High Park North and Bloor West Village, and in October 2026 its detached houses sold for 100% of asking on average. If you are deciding between Bloor West and Roncesvalles, see my guide to Bloor West Village vs Roncesvalles.
W03 is the value pocket. Its detached median, $882,500, was the lowest of the 16 districts that make up downtown, midtown, the east end, the west end, York and East York in 2026. This is where first-time buyers can still find a house rather than a condo, and its semis sold for a median of $948,400.
What does Line 5 Eglinton change for the west end?
Line 5 Eglinton opened on 8 February 2026, running from Mount Dennis to Kennedy. Its western stations are Mount Dennis, Keelesdale, Caledonia and Fairbank, before it reaches the Line 1 transfer at Cedarvale. Mount Dennis also connects to the GO Kitchener line and the UP Express to Pearson airport.
Those stations sit in or next to the communities TRREB groups in W03 (Keelesdale-Eglinton West and Caledonia-Fairbank) and W04 (Mount Dennis). These are the most affordable parts of the west end. Detached prices there have not jumped since the line opened; the W03 median actually fell 6.4% in 2026. My view is that better transit tends to support demand over time, which is a reason to look closely at W03 and W04, but I would not pay extra today for a gain that has not shown up in the numbers.
Can you add units to a west end house?
Often, yes. Toronto allows multiplexes of up to four units across the whole city. Since amendments approved in June 2025, buildings of up to six units are allowed in the Toronto and East York District and Ward 23. Garden suites and laneway suites are also permitted, with conditions. Every lot is different, and you still need a building permit and must meet the zoning rules.
Older houses bring older pipes. Toronto’s Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy pays 80% of the invoiced cost of eligible work done on or after 12 November 2025, up to $6,650 per property. That includes up to $1,600 for each backwater valve, up to two, and up to $2,250 for a sump pump.
Before you firm up on an older west end house, budget for a home inspection and a camera scope of the sewer line to the street. A damaged or root-filled pipe can cost thousands to fix and is not always visible on a walk-through. If you plan to add units, check zoning, lot size and servicing with a designer or the city before you waive conditions, not after.
What is the outlook for the west end Toronto housing market in 2027?
No one forecasts the west end on its own, so here is what the broad forecasts say, with dates. CMHC’s July 2026 baseline sees the Toronto-area average price, all home types, at $1,020,000 in 2026 and $1,050,000 in 2027, with sales rising. The Bank of Canada raised its policy rate to 2.50% on 28 October 2026, said housing should remain relatively weak, and signalled another increase could be needed. TRREB’s president said in November 2026 that a Canada-U.S. trade deal and an end to the Middle East conflict could renew buyer interest in 2027.
My own view, and it is only a view, is that west end houses will stay among the most competitive homes in Toronto in 2027 because so few come up for sale. I expect detached and semi prices in W01 and W02 to hold roughly steady, with bidding on well-priced homes in spring. Condos in the west end are likely to follow the citywide trend, which means a flat to soft year. W03 and W04 depend more on interest rates, because their buyers are more often stretching to buy a first house.
Who should buy where in Toronto’s west end?
- Move-up families with $1.6 million or more: W02 for the Junction and Bloor West, or W01 if you want High Park or Swansea.
- First-time house buyers: W03 and W04, where detached medians were under $1 million in 2026 and semis were under $950,000.
- Condo buyers: W01 and W02 have the most condo sales, at medians near $612,000; W04 is the lowest at $476,500.
- Investors adding units: older detached houses on wider lots, after checking the multiplex and suite rules.
For a district-by-district look at house values, see my guide on what a west end house is worth. To compare the west end with the rest of the city, read the Toronto housing market 2027 outlook.
In the west end, the price you pay is set as much by the number of buyers who show up as by the house. If you are buying a semi or detached in W01 or W02, get your financing and inspection done before the offer date so you can compete without conditions you cannot afford to drop. If you are selling, pricing a little under recent sales and setting an offer date still works here. In W03, W04 and the condo market, it usually does not, so price to the market and expect to negotiate.
What to do next
- Find your district (W01, W02, W03 or W04) and compare your home type with the tables above.
- Use the estimator above for a starting number, then ask for the last six months of sales on your street.
- If you are buying, get a pre-approval with a rate hold and line up an inspector who will scope the sewer line.
- If you are thinking about adding units, check Toronto’s multiplex and garden suite rules for your lot before you buy.
- Book a short call if you want a second opinion on price, timing or an offer-date strategy.

Are west end Toronto house prices going down?
West end Toronto house prices dipped slightly in 2026 but held up better than most of the city. Detached medians fell 1.1% in W02, 6.4% in W03 and 7.5% in W01 from January to October 2026 compared with 2025. Homes still sold for 101% to 104% of asking on average in those districts, so competition remains strong.
Do houses in the west end of Toronto sell over asking?
Yes, on average they still do. From January to October 2026, homes of all types sold for 104% of asking in W02, 102% in W01 and 101% in W03, according to TRREB, compared with 98% across the City of Toronto. In October 2026, semi-detached houses in W01 and W02 sold for about 105% of asking.
What is the cheapest part of Toronto’s west end to buy a house?
TRREB district W03, which includes Rockcliffe-Smythe, Keelesdale-Eglinton West, Caledonia-Fairbank and Corso Italia-Davenport, had the lowest detached median in the west end at $882,500 from January to October 2026. Semis there sold for a median of $948,400. W04, the former City of York, was close behind at $995,000 for a detached house.
Will west end Toronto house prices go up in 2027?
West end Toronto house prices are more likely to hold steady than to rise sharply in 2027. Supply is tight, with under three months of detached inventory in W01 to W03 in 2026. But the Bank of Canada raised its rate to 2.50% in October 2026 and may raise it again, which limits how much buyers can pay.
How much does a condo cost in Toronto’s west end?
A condo apartment in Toronto’s west end sold for a median of about $612,000 in W01 and W02 from January to October 2026, down 9% to 12% from 2025. W03 was $566,950 on just 46 sales, and W04 (York) was $476,500. Condo townhouses sold for medians of $641,500 to $804,366 across W01 to W03.
Does Line 5 Eglinton serve the west end of Toronto?
Yes. Line 5 Eglinton, which opened on 8 February 2026, has western stations at Mount Dennis, Keelesdale, Caledonia and Fairbank before the Line 1 transfer at Cedarvale. Mount Dennis also connects to the GO Kitchener line and the UP Express. These stations serve the Eglinton West and Mount Dennis areas, not High Park or Roncesvalles.
Can I build a multiplex on my west end Toronto lot?
Usually you can. Toronto permits multiplexes of up to four units city-wide, and since June 2025 amendments, up to six units in the Toronto and East York District and Ward 23. You still need a building permit and must meet zoning rules, so check your specific lot’s size, frontage and servicing before you buy or design.
