East end Toronto held up better than most of the GTA in 2026. From January to October, the median detached house sold for $1,515,000 in E01 (Riverdale, Leslieville), $1,613,000 in E02 (the Beaches) and $1,195,000 in E03 (East York), and homes still sold for 103% to 108% of list price on average.
This guide is for people buying or selling a house or condo in Toronto’s east end in 2027: Riverdale, Leslieville, the Beaches, the Danforth and East York. You will get the real 2026 prices by home type, how fast homes are selling, and what the October 2026 rate hike and forecasts mean for next year.
What counts as the east end in Toronto real estate?
Real estate boards do not use neighbourhood names for their price data. The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) splits the city into districts, and the east end of the old city is covered by three of them:
- E01: TRREB’s communities here are North Riverdale, South Riverdale, Greenwood-Coxwell and Blake-Jones. Leslieville is part of the broader South Riverdale area, so its sales fall in E01.
- E02: The Beaches, East End-Danforth and the Woodbine Corridor.
- E03: East York, Danforth, Danforth Village-East York, Playter Estates-Danforth, Broadview North, Crescent Town, O’Connor-Parkview and Woodbine-Lumsden.
One honest caveat: East York sits mainly in E03, but parts of the old borough fall into C11 and E02. Every number below is a district figure, not a figure for one street or neighbourhood. Scarborough (E04 to E11) is a separate market, and I cover it in my Scarborough housing market 2027 guide.
What are east end Toronto house prices in 2026?
Here are the median sold prices for January to October 2026. The median is the middle sale, so half sold for more and half for less.
| Home type | E01 Riverdale / Leslieville | E02 Beaches / East End-Danforth | E03 East York / Danforth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | $1,515,000 (-2.9%) | $1,613,000 (-9.6%) | $1,195,000 (-0.4%) |
| Semi-detached | $1,319,272 (+1.5%) | $1,205,000 (-0.8%) | $1,085,000 (-7.9%) |
| Freehold townhouse | $1,180,500 (-9.2%) | $1,106,000 (0.0%) | $902,500 (-7.0%) |
| Condo townhouse | $718,750 (-12.0%) | $872,500 (-3.6%) | Too few sales (6) |
| Condo apartment | $670,000 (-4.2%) | $712,500 (+4.8%) | $452,500 (-5.2%) |

Three things stand out. First, east end prices fell much less than the rest of the GTA, where detached medians dropped 5% to 9% in most cities. Second, the semi-detached house is the east end’s signature home, and its price barely moved in E01 and E02. Third, the Beaches district (E02) had the softest year for detached homes, with the median down 9.6% and detached sales down 21%.
How many homes sold?
From January to October 2026, E03 sold 375 detached homes, more than E01 (109) and E02 (144) combined. E01 sold 244 semis, its busiest home type. Condo apartment sales fell hard in E02 (down 22%) and E03 (down 39%), so condo prices there come from small samples.
How have east end prices changed since 2024?
Looking back two years shows how gently this part of Toronto has corrected.
| District and type | 2024 median | 2025 median | 2026 median |
|---|---|---|---|
| E01 detached | $1,600,000 | $1,560,000 | $1,515,000 |
| E01 semi | $1,325,000 | $1,300,000 | $1,319,272 |
| E02 detached | $1,780,000 | $1,785,000 | $1,613,000 |
| E02 semi | $1,300,000 | $1,215,000 | $1,205,000 |
| E03 detached | $1,188,000 | $1,200,000 | $1,195,000 |
| E03 semi | $1,200,000 | $1,177,500 | $1,085,000 |
Source: TRREB MLS data via REALM, January to October of each year. Medians, district level.
E03 detached prices have been almost flat for three years. E01 detached is down about 5% from 2024. E02 held steady in 2025 and then dropped in 2026. A median can jump around when a few large or small homes sell, so read one year’s change in a small district with care.
TRREB’s benchmark price, which adjusts for the type of home sold, tells the same story. In October 2026, the composite benchmark was $1,059,100 in E01 (down 0.8% from a year earlier), $1,255,900 in E02 (down 0.2%) and $1,020,500 in E03 (down 4.6%). The City of Toronto as a whole was down 3.6%.
How fast are homes selling in Leslieville, the Beaches and East York?
This is where the east end is different from almost everywhere else in the GTA. Homes here still sell fast and often above the asking price.
| Area (all home types) | Sales Jan-Oct 2026 | Median price | Sold price vs list price | Avg. days on market | Months of inventory (Oct) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| E01 | 564 | $1,192,500 | 108% | 18 | 2.4 |
| E02 | 437 | $1,218,000 | 105% | 18 | 2.3 |
| E03 | 595 | $1,100,000 | 103% | 22 | 2.8 |
| City of Toronto | 19,648 | $820,000 | 98% | 32 | 4.6 |
Source: TRREB Market Watch, October 2026 (year-to-date table and October months of inventory). Days on market is listing days on market.
An average sold-to-list ratio of 108% in E01 means the typical home sold for 8% more than its list price. Many east end sellers still list low and hold an offer date. Months of inventory tells you how long it would take to sell every active listing at the current pace. Under 3 months, as in all three east end districts, favours sellers. The city average of 4.6 months gives buyers more room.
The October 2026 numbers held the pattern. E01 homes sold at 106% of list in an average of 13 days, and E02 at 104% in 17 days.

This model doesn’t know that your neighbour’s identical semi went $80,000 over asking last month, or which two upgrades actually pay back in your area. That conversation is free and takes twenty minutes.
Why are east end Toronto home prices holding up better than the GTA?
Based on the data and what I see on the ground, a few reasons fit:
- Low supply of houses. These are older, built-out streets. Few new houses are added, and owners tend to stay a long time.
- The mix of homes. Semis and detached houses on transit lines are what many move-up buyers want. That demand did not disappear in 2026.
- Fewer investor condos. The parts of the GTA that fell most had large numbers of investor-owned condos. The east end’s market is mostly owner-occupied houses.
Condos are the exception. E01 condo apartments sat for an average of 33 days, and condo townhouse prices in E01 fell 12%. If you are buying a condo in the east end, you have far more negotiating room than a house buyer.
Will the Ontario Line and new zoning change east end prices?
Five of the Ontario Line’s 15 planned stations serve the east end areas covered here: East Harbour (a hub with GO service), Leslieville, Gerrard, Pape and Cosburn. Metrolinx says construction is underway, but its project page gives no opening date. Treat any claim of a firm opening year with caution.
New subway stations usually matter to buyers long before they open, so streets near the future stations may already price some of this in. I would not pay a premium today based on an opening date nobody has confirmed.
Zoning is the other change. Four-unit multiplexes are allowed across Toronto, and since Council’s June 2025 vote, buildings with up to six units are allowed in the Toronto and East York District, which covers the old city and East York. For an owner of a large lot in E01 to E03, that can add land value. Check your own address with the City before you count on it. My guide to multiplex benefits for Toronto homeowners explains the basics.
How will the October 2026 rate hike affect east end buyers?
The Bank of Canada raised its policy rate by 0.25 points to 2.50% on 28 October 2026, its first hike in more than three years. The big banks moved prime from 4.45% to 4.70%, so variable-rate mortgages and home equity lines cost more right away. The Bank said another increase could be needed. Its next decision is on 9 December 2026.
For a buyer, a quarter point on a $1,000,000 mortgage adds roughly $140 a month. That will not stop most east end house buyers, but it can trim what someone qualifies for. For an owner, the bigger question is your renewal date. If you renew in 2027, plan for a payment based on today’s rates, not the rate you got in 2021 or 2022.
What is the east end Toronto housing market forecast for 2027?
Nobody publishes a forecast for E01 to E03 alone. The closest is CMHC’s forecast for the Toronto area as a whole. In its July 2026 outlook, CMHC’s baseline had the Toronto average price at about $1,020,000 in 2026, rising to about $1,050,000 in 2027, with sales up from 63,500 to 71,500. Its downside case had $1,030,000 for 2027. Those forecasts used information up to 23 June 2026, before the rate hike.
TRREB said on 4 November 2026 that a Canada-US trade deal and an end to the Middle East conflict could ease inflation worries and bring buyers back as we move into 2027. That is a condition, not a prediction.
My view, and it is only a view: the east end will likely stay one of the more competitive parts of the GTA for semis and family houses in 2027. I expect prices there to move roughly with the city, not fall faster. Condos will stay a buyer’s market until the extra supply across Toronto clears. Higher rates are the main risk to that view.
If you are selling a semi or a detached house in E01 or E02, the data still supports pricing to attract offers, because buyers here compete. If you are selling a condo, price it to sell in the first two weeks; a stale condo listing in the east end gets discounted hard. If you are buying, look at what similar homes sold for, not what they were listed at. Before you decide, compare your home with recent sales on my east end home value guide.
A sold-to-list ratio over 100% is an average. Some homes sell far over asking, and some listed low and sold at or under the real value. Do not assume every east end house will go 8% over its list price. Get your mortgage pre-approval in writing before an offer date, and know your firm upper limit before the night starts.
What to do next
- Find your district (E01, E02 or E03) and use that district’s numbers, not the Toronto average.
- Pull sold prices for your exact home type from the last 90 days, not listing prices.
- If you own, check your renewal date and run your 2027 payment at current rates.
- If your lot is large, ask the City what a fourplex or sixplex could look like there.
- Talk to an agent who works the east end every week. My notes on choosing a realtor in Leslieville and Riverside list the questions to ask.

Frequently asked questions
What is the average house price in east end Toronto in 2026?
The median detached house sold for $1,515,000 in E01 (Riverdale and Leslieville), $1,613,000 in E02 (the Beaches and East End-Danforth) and $1,195,000 in E03 (East York and the Danforth) from January to October 2026, based on TRREB MLS data via REALM. Semi-detached medians were $1,319,272, $1,205,000 and $1,085,000. These are district figures, not street-level prices.
Are house prices going down in Leslieville?
Only slightly. In TRREB district E01, which includes Leslieville and Riverdale, the median detached price fell 2.9% and the median semi rose 1.5% from January to October 2026 compared with 2025. TRREB’s October 2026 benchmark for E01 was down just 0.8% from a year earlier, far less than the 3.6% drop for the City of Toronto.
How much is a house in the Beaches Toronto in 2026?
In TRREB district E02, which covers the Beaches, East End-Danforth and the Woodbine Corridor, the median detached house sold for $1,613,000 from January to October 2026, down 9.6% from 2025. The median semi sold for $1,205,000. TRREB’s October 2026 composite benchmark for E02 was $1,255,900, down 0.2% from a year earlier.
Are east end Toronto homes still selling over asking?
Yes, on average. From January to October 2026, homes in TRREB district E01 sold for 108% of their list price, E02 for 105% and E03 for 103%, according to TRREB Market Watch. The City of Toronto average was 98%. These averages include homes listed low for offer nights, so not every east end home sells over its real value.
Is East York cheaper than Leslieville?
Yes. From January to October 2026, the median detached house was $1,195,000 in TRREB district E03 (mostly East York and the Danforth) versus $1,515,000 in E01 (Riverdale and Leslieville), based on TRREB MLS data via REALM. Semis were $1,085,000 in E03 and $1,319,272 in E01. Parts of East York also fall in districts C11 and E02.
How much is a condo in east end Toronto?
The median condo apartment sold for $670,000 in E01, $712,500 in E02 and $452,500 in E03 from January to October 2026, based on TRREB MLS data via REALM. Condo sales were low, especially in E02 and E03, and E01 condos took an average of 33 days to sell, so condo buyers in Toronto’s east end have more room to negotiate than house buyers.
Will Toronto east end house prices go up in 2027?
No one forecasts the east end alone. CMHC’s July 2026 baseline forecast has the Toronto-area average price rising from about $1,020,000 in 2026 to about $1,050,000 in 2027, but it was made before the Bank of Canada raised rates to 2.50% in October 2026. East end prices held up better than most of the GTA in 2026, but no forecast guarantees a rise.
When will the Ontario Line open in Leslieville?
There is no confirmed opening date as of November 2026. Metrolinx says construction is underway on the 15-station line, which will include East Harbour, Leslieville, Gerrard, Pape and Cosburn stations in Toronto’s east end, but its project page does not give an opening date. Be careful with any listing or ad that promises a specific year.
Can I build a sixplex in East York or Leslieville?
Possibly. Toronto allows buildings with up to six units in the Toronto and East York District and Ward 23 after Council adopted the rules in June 2025, and fourplexes are allowed city-wide. East York, Leslieville and Riverdale are in that district, but each lot must still meet zoning rules and get building permits, so confirm your address with the City first.
