In August 2026 TRREB recorded 100 detached house sales across North York’s six core districts (C06, C07, C12, C13, C14 and C15). District medians ran from $1,107,500 in C06 (Bathurst Manor, Clanton Park) to $2,200,000 in C12 (St. Andrew-Windfields, the Bridle Path); by my arithmetic the 100 sales averaged $1,752,047. Houses sold at 93 to 98 percent of their list price depending on the district, and 610 detached houses were for sale, about 6.1 months of supply against 4.4 months across the City of Toronto. TRREB’s detached benchmark price fell year over year in every North York district, from 2.02 percent in C14 to 8.45 percent in C15. Semis (21 sales) averaged $946,429 and only three freehold townhouses sold. Your own number depends first on your district, then on your lot and your house’s condition.

Source: TRREB Market Watch, August 2026. TRREB publishes each district separately and does not publish a median for North York as a whole, so the North York column is my arithmetic: total dollar volume divided by total sales for the average, and sale-to-list and days on market weighted by each district’s sales. Toronto Central also covers downtown and midtown, so it is not a North York figure. Three townhouse sales and 21 semi sales are small samples; read them as a snapshot, not a price.
District by district: detached houses in North York
| District | Main neighbourhoods | Sales | Median | Average | Sale to list | Days on market | Months of inventory (calculated) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C06 | Bathurst Manor, Clanton Park | 12 | $1,107,500 | $1,263,752 | 93% | 32 | 3.3 |
| C07 | Willowdale West, Newtonbrook West, Lansing-Westgate, Westminster-Branson | 22 | $1,865,000 | $1,860,883 | 93% | 42 | 5.5 |
| C12 | St. Andrew-Windfields, Bridle Path-Sunnybrook-York Mills | 11 | $2,200,000 | $2,472,682 | 94% | 46 | 12.3 |
| C13 | Banbury-Don Mills, Parkwoods-Donalda, Victoria Village | 12 | $1,505,000 | $1,514,833 | 98% | 37 | 8.2 |
| C14 | Willowdale East, Newtonbrook East | 17 | $1,920,000 | $1,942,892 | 96% | 31 | 6.6 |
| C15 | Bayview Village, Hillcrest Village, Don Valley Village, Henry Farm, Bayview Woods-Steeles, Pleasant View | 26 | $1,377,500 | $1,565,140 | 96% | 31 | 4.0 |
Months of inventory is my arithmetic: active listings divided by August sales. C06, C12 and C13 each had 12 or fewer sales, so one unusual house can move the median by a lot. Treat those three as rough markers.
Two things stand out. First, the spread: the C12 median is almost double the C06 median, so a “North York price” means little until you name the district. Second, supply: C12 had 135 detached houses for sale against 11 sales, about 12 months of inventory, while C06 had 39 for sale against 12 sales, about 3.3 months. The top end of North York is a buyer’s market; the more modest pockets are much tighter.
Two districts straddle the old North York boundary and are not in my totals. W05 (Downsview, York University Heights) had 10 detached sales at a $934,000 median, and C04 (Lawrence Park, Bedford Park, Forest Hill North) had 24 at a $2,356,850 median. Depending on your street, one of those rows may fit better.
Are North York house prices going down? The benchmark trend
| District | Composite benchmark | Year over year | Detached benchmark | Year over year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C06 | $937,300 | −8.57% | $1,392,900 | −8.29% |
| C07 | $1,002,300 | −3.67% | $1,645,200 | −5.10% |
| C12 | $2,332,800 | −1.57% | $3,143,000 | −2.08% |
| C13 | $990,500 | −6.85% | $1,589,600 | −8.41% |
| C14 | $893,500 | −3.61% | $1,935,400 | −2.02% |
| C15 | $769,100 | −5.57% | $1,490,400 | −8.45% |
| City of Toronto | $918,400 | −3.73% | $1,437,900 | −4.33% |
| All TRREB | $925,900 | −4.46% | $1,209,600 | −4.50% |
The benchmark is TRREB’s MLS® Home Price Index model of a “typical” home in each area, not an actual sale; it smooths out the month-to-month noise of which houses happened to sell.
So yes, against August 2025 North York detached values are lower in every district. C15, C13 and C06 fell by more than 8 percent, roughly double the City of Toronto’s 4.33 percent. C12 and C14 held up best, down about 2 percent. Note the C12 gap: the benchmark is $3,143,000, but the 11 August sales had a $2,200,000 median. That is what a small sample does. The benchmark describes a typical C12 house; August’s 11 sales were whatever came to market. For a forward view, read will Toronto house prices drop in 2027.
What the numbers mean for your list price
Across the six districts, 100 of 249 new detached listings sold, about 40 percent (my arithmetic), against 47 percent for the City of Toronto and 43 percent across TRREB. With 6.1 months of supply against the City’s 4.4, North York buyers had more choice.
The sale-to-list ratio tells the same story. In C06 and C07, houses that sold went for 93 percent of their final list price on average, and that ratio only counts houses that sold, often after a price cut. On a $1,865,000 house, 7 percent is about $130,000 (my arithmetic). C13, at 98 percent, was the firmest district.
- Price from sold houses, not active listings. With several months of supply, the asking prices around you include houses that will not sell at those prices.
- Plan for five to seven weeks. Average days on market ran from 31 in C14 and C15 to 46 in C12. See how long it takes to sell a house in Toronto.
What moves your North York house above or below the median
- Lot frontage and depth. In Willowdale, Bayview Village and the York Mills side of C12, many older bungalows and side-splits are bought for the land and replaced with new custom homes, so the lot often sets the floor on price. A wider or deeper lot, or a ravine edge along the Don Valley, widens the builder pool. See how lot size and frontage affect value and what to know about ravine lots.
- The basement. A finished basement with a separate entrance appeals to multi-generational buyers and investors. A legal second unit, with the permits to prove it, is worth more than an unpermitted apartment, because the buyer’s lender and insurer will ask.
- Detached or semi, garage and parking. North York is mostly detached; the 21 semis averaged $946,429. A double garage is expected at the top end.
- Renovation level. Updates matter to end users; builders buying for the land will not pay for them.
- Street and sub-area. A quiet crescent sells better than a house backing onto Yonge, Sheppard, Finch or Bayview traffic, even within the same district.
- Schools. Catchments drive demand in parts of Willowdale and Bayview Village; confirm your address with the school board.
- Transit. Walking distance to Line 1 (York Mills, Sheppard-Yonge, North York Centre, Finch) or Line 4 Sheppard (Bayview, Bessarion, Leslie, Don Mills) helps, as does quick access to the 401 and the Don Valley Parkway.
- Age and big-ticket systems. Much of North York was built after the war, so the roof, windows, furnace, electrical panel and original plumbing are often due. Have receipts ready; buyers discount for anything they have to replace.
The land transfer tax point
A North York buyer pays two land transfer taxes: Ontario’s and Toronto’s municipal tax. Below $3,000,000 the Toronto tax uses the same brackets as Ontario’s, so the total is double the provincial amount. A buyer in Vaughan, Richmond Hill or Markham pays only the Ontario tax.
| Price (August 2026 district median) | Ontario LTT | Toronto MLTT | Total in North York |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1,107,500 (C06) | $18,625 | $18,625 | $37,250 |
| $1,377,500 (C15) | $24,025 | $24,025 | $48,050 |
| $1,920,000 (C14) | $34,875 | $34,875 | $69,750 |
| $2,200,000 (C12) | $41,475 | $41,475 | $82,950 |
My arithmetic from the published brackets, before first-time buyer refunds (up to $4,000 from Ontario and up to $4,475 from Toronto). Your buyer budgets for it, and one comparing your house with a house across Steeles sees the difference in cash to close.

How to get an accurate number for your house
Two tools help here: the AI home value estimator below gives you a range for your house in about a minute, and the net proceeds calculator turns any price into what actually lands in your account.
Next, a broker price opinion or comparative market analysis: the three to six most recent sales of comparable houses nearby, adjusted for lot, size, basement, parking and condition, and checked against what is competing with you now. Your MPAC assessment is not a guide; 2026 property taxes are still based on 1 January 2016 values.
For neighbourhood detail, see the home-value pages for Clanton Park and Bathurst Manor, Willowdale West, Willowdale East, Bayview Village and Hillcrest, Don Mills and Parkwoods and St. Andrew-Windfields and the Bridle Path. Comparing markets? See what houses are worth in Scarborough, midtown Toronto and Richmond Hill. If it is your principal residence, you still report the sale to CRA on your tax return; read capital gains when downsizing and ask your accountant.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a detached house worth in North York in 2026?
It depends heavily on the district. In August 2026 TRREB’s detached medians ran from $1,107,500 in C06 (Bathurst Manor, Clanton Park) to $1,377,500 in C15, $1,865,000 in C07, $1,920,000 in C14 and $2,200,000 in C12. The 100 sales across the six districts averaged $1,752,047 by my arithmetic. Your lot, basement and condition then move you within your district.
Are house prices going down in North York?
Compared with a year earlier, yes. TRREB’s August 2026 detached benchmark was lower in every North York district, from 2.02 percent down in C14 to 8.45 percent down in C15, against 4.33 percent for the City of Toronto. The benchmark is a model price for a typical house, so your street can differ, but the direction was down.
Is now a good time to sell my house in North York?
It depends on your next move more than the market. In August 2026 about 40 percent of new North York detached listings sold and there were 6.1 months of supply, so buyers had choice. Sellers who price from recent sold comparables still sell; sellers who test a high price usually end up chasing the market down.
How long does it take to sell a house in North York?
In August 2026 detached houses in the six North York districts averaged about 36 days on market by my weighted arithmetic, ranging from 31 days in C14 and C15 to 46 days in C12. Allow another four to eight weeks after that for the closing. A well-priced house in good condition sells faster than those averages.
What is the average price of a semi-detached house in North York?
TRREB recorded 21 semi-detached sales across the six North York districts in August 2026, averaging $946,429 by my arithmetic, with C15’s 10 semis at a $887,500 median and C07’s six at $898,500. That is a small sample, so use recent sales of semis on your own street and similar streets nearby.
