Published 2 November 2026 · By Jatin Dua, Broker of Record, RE/MAX Quantum Realty
From January to October 2026, median detached prices ran from $661,000 in Brock to $1,850,000 in King, and condo apartments from $340,500 in Oshawa to $583,500 in Aurora among larger markets. The GTA average home sold for $1,024,108 in October 2026, down 2.7% from a year earlier, and almost every city and type fell.
This guide is for buyers and sellers who want one place to compare home prices across the GTA by city and by home type before planning a move in 2027. You will get the 2026 median price for detached houses, semis, townhouses and condos in every GTA municipality and in Toronto, how much each type fell, and what it takes to step up from one type to the next.
What is the average house price in the GTA in 2026?
Across TRREB’s whole market, the average home of any type sold for $1,024,108 in October 2026, down 2.7% from October 2025. The median, the middle sale, was $860,000. For January to October 2026, the average was $1,025,156 and the median $870,000.
Averages mix very different homes, so the type matters more than the headline. Here is the October 2026 picture by type across all TRREB areas:
| Home type | Median, Oct 2026 | Average, Oct 2026 | Benchmark, Oct 2026 | Benchmark change y/y |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | $1,110,000 | $1,310,627 | $1,194,200 | -4.4% |
| Semi-detached | $907,000 | $1,024,907 | $914,300 (single-family attached) | -3.8% |
| Freehold townhouse | $830,000 | $905,385 | no separate benchmark | – |
| Condo townhouse | $648,000 | $683,728 | $662,200 (townhouse) | -6.6% |
| Condo apartment | $528,000 | $621,400 | $521,600 | -7.3% |
Source: TRREB Market Watch, October 2026. Benchmark = MLS Home Price Index benchmark. TRREB’s benchmark categories (detached, single-family attached, townhouse, apartment) do not line up exactly with the sale types, so I show the closest match.
The benchmark is TRREB’s estimate of a typical home’s price. It is steadier than a median because it does not change just because more big or small homes sold in a month.
What are home prices in Peel and Halton by type?
The next three tables use ten months of sales, January to October 2026, which is a bigger and more reliable sample than one month.

Brampton is the lowest-priced big city in this group for every home type. Oakville is the highest for detached homes at $1,625,000. Burlington’s detached median was flat from 2025, the only GTA municipality outside Toronto where detached prices did not fall.

Durham is still the most affordable part of the GTA. Oshawa’s median detached house sold for $730,000, and Brock’s for $661,000, the lowest in the GTA. Pickering and Ajax cost more because they are closer to Toronto.

What do homes cost in Toronto by type?
TRREB reports Toronto in 35 districts, and REALM data has no single city-wide figure by type. The October 2026 Market Watch does give city-wide numbers for that month, and the district data shows the range.
| Home type, City of Toronto | Median, Oct 2026 | Benchmark, Oct 2026 (y/y) | District medians, Jan-Oct 2026 (low to high) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | $1,260,000 | $1,422,800 (-3.8%) | $866,500 (E09) to $3,627,500 (C09) |
| Semi-detached | $1,125,748 | $1,116,100 single-family attached (-4.1%) | $768,500 (W10) to $2,635,000 (C09) |
| Freehold townhouse | $1,110,000 | no separate benchmark | $700,000 (E11) to $1,850,000 (C02) |
| Condo townhouse | $690,000 | $702,900 townhouse (-6.9%) | $560,000 (W05) to $1,481,500 (C02) |
| Condo apartment | $545,000 | $540,100 (-7.0%) | $380,000 (E10) to $1,112,500 (C12) |
Source: TRREB Market Watch, October 2026 (city medians and MLS HPI benchmarks); TRREB MLS data via REALM, January to October 2026 (district medians, districts with 20 or more sales only).
The spread inside Toronto is wider than across the whole rest of the GTA. A detached house in Scarborough’s E09 district cost less than the median detached house in Brampton, while a detached house in midtown’s C09 cost more than four times as much as one in E09. My GTA detached home prices guide lists all 35 Toronto districts for detached homes.
Which home types fell the most in 2026?
Comparing January to October 2026 with the same months of 2025, in GTA municipalities outside Toronto with at least 20 sales of that type in both years:
| Home type | Cities that fell | Typical drop (middle city) | Biggest drop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 23 of 24 (Burlington flat) | -6.5% | East Gwillimbury, -11.1% |
| Semi-detached | 18 of 18 | -7.6% | East Gwillimbury, -16.2% |
| Freehold townhouse | 21 of 21 | -7.8% | Uxbridge, -11.3% |
| Condo townhouse | 16 of 16 | -8.6% | Aurora, -15.6% |
| Condo apartment | 15 of 15 | -12.6% | Aurora, -14.8% |
Source: TRREB MLS data via REALM, January to October 2026 vs the same period of 2025. My calculations from the city-level medians.
The pattern is clear: the smaller and more investor-owned the home type, the bigger the drop. Condo apartments fell about twice as much as detached houses. In Toronto, detached medians fell in 31 of the 34 districts with enough sales, and condo apartment medians fell in 31 of 35. For townhouses in more detail, see my GTA townhouse prices guide.
How much more does it cost to move up to a detached house?
Many families buy a condo or townhouse first and plan to move up later. Lower prices in 2026 changed the size of that jump. Here is the gap between medians in the four busiest markets outside Toronto:
| City | Condo apt to freehold town | Freehold town to semi | Semi to detached |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brampton | $340,000 | $35,000 | $160,000 |
| Mississauga | $395,000 | $5,000 | $340,000 |
| Vaughan | $484,500 | $25,500 | $375,000 |
| Markham | $441,990 | $25,010 | $395,000 |
Source: my calculations from TRREB MLS data via REALM medians, January to October 2026.
In these cities, a semi costs only a little more than a freehold townhouse, so if you are choosing between them, compare lot size and parking, not just price. The big jumps are from a condo to any freehold home, and from a semi to a detached house.
How much down payment do you need for a GTA home?
Canada’s minimum down payment is 5% of the first $500,000, 10% of the part from $500,000 to $1.5 million, and 20% of the whole price at $1.5 million or more. Applied to 2026 medians:
- Oshawa condo apartment, $340,500: at least $17,025.
- Brampton freehold townhouse, $755,000: at least $50,500.
- Brampton detached, $950,000: at least $70,000.
- Mississauga detached, $1,225,000: at least $97,500.
- Oakville detached, $1,625,000: at least $325,000, because it is over $1.5 million.
That last line is why the $1.5 million line matters so much in Oakville, King and much of midtown Toronto. Mortgage insurance is not available above $1.5 million, so buyers need 20% down. My guide to the minimum down payment in Ontario walks through the rules.
Will GTA home prices go up in 2027?
Forecasters see a slow recovery at best. CMHC’s July 2026 baseline had the Toronto-area average price at about $1,020,000 in 2026 and $1,050,000 in 2027, a gain of roughly 3%. Its downside case had $1,030,000. Those numbers were based on information up to 23 June 2026. Since then, the Bank of Canada raised its policy rate to 2.50% on 28 October 2026 and said a further increase could be needed. The Bank also expects housing to stay relatively weak.
My view, and it is only a view: I expect detached and semi prices to be roughly flat to slightly higher by late 2027, and condo apartments to lag. Different types and cities will keep moving at different speeds, as they did in 2026. My GTA housing market forecast for 2027 covers the forecasts in more detail.
Do not shop by the GTA average. A family that needs a freehold home should compare the same type across two or three nearby cities; in 2026 the gap between Brampton and Mississauga detached medians was $275,000. If you own a condo and want to move up, the gap to a freehold home is still large, but both prices are lower than in 2024, and you sell and buy in the same market.
What to do next
- Pick the home type you need first, then compare it across the cities in the tables.
- Check how many sales stand behind each number; ignore medians marked with an asterisk.
- Work out your down payment using the 5%, 10% and 20% rules above.
- Get a pre-approval at today’s rates before you set a budget.
- Use the estimator on this page to see where your current home sits against these medians.
