This guide is for anyone who wants a straight count of how many homes sold in Toronto and each GTA city in 2026, and what those numbers say about 2027. You get TRREB’s official monthly totals, a city-by-city and district-by-district table, and what the counts mean for buyers and sellers.
How many homes sold in the GTA in 2026?
TRREB reported 52,694 home sales through its MLS System from January to October 2026. That is about 1.8% fewer than the 53,680 sales in the same ten months of 2025, adding up TRREB’s monthly figures. These counts cover all home types in TRREB’s whole market area, which also takes in Dufferin County and part of Simcoe County.
All 2026 figures in this post are January to October only. November and December 2026 had not happened yet when TRREB released its October report on 4 November 2026.

The year had two halves. Sales were well below 2025 in January and February, then ran ahead of 2025 from March to June. From July on, sales slipped back below last year. October 2026 had 5,603 sales, down 7.9% from October 2025, though TRREB said sales were up from September after adjusting for the season.
How many homes sold in each GTA region?
For a city-by-city view, I use TRREB MLS data via REALM for the five main home types: detached, semi-detached, freehold townhouse, condo townhouse and condo apartment. Across Toronto and the 24 other GTA municipalities, those types added up to 50,083 sales from January to October 2026. That is 2.2% fewer than 2025 and 10.3% fewer than 2024.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| City of Toronto | 21,078 | 19,804 | 19,513 | -1.5% | 19,648 |
| Peel | 10,331 | 9,210 | 9,226 | +0.2% | 9,300 |

Notice the mix. In Mississauga, condo apartments made up about a quarter of sales. In Brampton, Caledon, Georgina and East Gwillimbury, detached homes made up most of the market. A city’s total sales tell you how much choice buyers have and how reliable its price figures are. Brock, King and Uxbridge each had fewer than 200 sales in ten months.

How many homes sold in Toronto in 2026, by district?

C01, the downtown west district, had by far the most sales, and about 83% of them were condo apartments. C08, the downtown east, was next. Outside the core, W08 in central Etobicoke led with 1,039 sales. Several Scarborough districts, such as E08, E10 and E11, had drops of 14% or more.
Which GTA cities had more sales in 2026, and which had fewer?
Most of the gains were in York Region. Comparing January to October 2026 with 2025:
- More sales: King (+10.1%), Markham (+7.1%), Richmond Hill (+6.3%), Aurora (+5.9%), Newmarket (+4.7%) and Brampton (+1.5%). In Markham, Richmond Hill and Newmarket, detached sales rose by more than 10%.
- Fewer sales: Brock (-17.4%), Oshawa (-17.1%), Milton (-13.8%), Halton Hills (-13.5%), Ajax (-12.1%) and Whitby (-11.2%).
- Inside Toronto: C09 (+18.1%), C15 (+12.7%) and C07 (+12.4%) rose most. E11 (-17.8%), E08 (-15.3%) and E10 (-14.5%) fell most.
More sales in a city usually means buyers are coming back at lower prices. In York Region, detached medians fell by 2% to 11% in 2026, and more buyers stepped in. In Durham, prices also fell, but sales dropped anyway. For a look at how fast homes sold in each city, see the GTA cities where homes sell fastest.
Which home types are selling in the GTA?
Detached homes held steady, and every other type sold less. Detached houses made up almost half of all sales in 2026.
| Home type | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | 2026 vs 2025 | Share of 2026 sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 24,947 | 23,162 | 23,172 | 0.0% | 46% |
| Semi-detached | 5,019 | 4,978 | 4,709 | -5.4% | 9% |
| Freehold townhouse | 5,377 | 5,048 | 4,726 | -6.4% | 9% |
| Condo townhouse | 4,453 | 3,980 | 3,836 | -3.6% | 8% |
| Condo apartment | 16,037 | 14,024 | 13,640 | -2.7% | 27% |

Condo apartments are the second-biggest group, but they sold about 15% less than in 2024. For the top of the market, my post on how many $3 million homes sell in Toronto breaks the numbers down further.
Will the GTA hit TRREB’s 2026 sales forecast?
Probably at the low end. In February 2026, TRREB forecast 60,000 to 70,000 GTA home sales for 2026. With 52,694 sales through October, the area needs about 7,300 more in November and December to reach 60,000. In 2025, those two months had 8,630 sales. If 2026 matches that, the full year would land near 61,300, by my own arithmetic. That would be below 2025’s 62,310 sales and well below 2024’s 70,273.
Rates are the wild card. On 28 October 2026, the Bank of Canada raised its policy rate to 2.50% and said it expects housing activity to stay relatively weak. Looking further out, CREA’s October 2026 forecast called for national sales to rise 4.4% in 2027. That forecast came before the rate hike.
This is my own view. Sales counts matter more than most people think. A market with steady sales and fewer listings, like detached homes in York Region, can firm up quickly when buyers return. A market with falling sales and lots of listings, like condo apartments in many areas, will stay slow for longer. I would plan 2027 moves around your own city and home type, not the GTA headline.
What do the 2026 sales counts mean for buyers and sellers?
For buyers, fewer sales and more listings mean more choice and more time. TRREB’s October 2026 report showed 25,098 active listings across its market, down 10% from a year earlier, and 4.6 months of inventory on a trend basis. Fewer listings than a year ago means sellers face a little less competition than in 2025.
For sellers, the count in your own city matters most. Where sales are rising, price close to recent sales and you should find a buyer. Where sales are falling, expect a longer wait and be ready to adjust. You can look up recent sales near you with the tips in how to find sold prices in Toronto.
Small markets can mislead. In a town with fewer than 200 sales in ten months, a few sales more or less can swing the yearly change by 10% or more. Before you read too much into a big jump or drop in a small town, look at the actual number of sales behind it.
What to do next
- Find your city or Toronto district in the tables above and check whether sales rose or fell in 2026.
- Look at sales of your own home type, not just the total.
- If you plan to buy in 2027, get a pre-approval with a rate hold before the Bank of Canada decision on 9 December 2026.
- Read the GTA housing market forecast for 2027 for prices and forecasts by city.
