Toronto sold prices come from MLS sold data, available through licensed agents and some registered websites, and from the land registry, where the transfer records the price paid. MPAC assessments are not sale prices. A sold price only helps when the home is genuinely comparable and recently sold.
In Toronto, the asking price is often a marketing number. What a home is actually worth shows up in what similar homes sold for, which is why buyers and sellers keep asking where to find sold prices.
Where sold data comes from
- MLS sold data. Sold prices recorded on MLS are available through licensed agents, and some websites show them to registered users under the board’s data rules.
- The land registry. When a property transfers, the registered transfer records the consideration paid. You can buy a parcel register search, though it doesn’t show the details that make a comparison meaningful.
- TRREB market reports. District and community averages, useful for trends but not for pricing a single home.
- MPAC assessments. Assessed values for property tax purposes. They are not sale prices, and in Ontario they are still based on an older valuation date.

What moved the number
Starting from the area baseline for your property type, here’s what each answer added or subtracted.
Market context
Recent local averages for comparison.

A range is a starting point.
A strategy is what sells.
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.
Reading comparables properly
A sold price only helps if the home is genuinely comparable:
- Same area and property type.
- Recent sale. In a moving market, a sale from months ago can mislead.
- Adjusted for differences: size, lot, condition, parking, renovations, floor and view in a condo.
- Conditions and timing: was it an offer-night sale, a quiet sale, or a sale after several price cuts?
Why an agent’s comparison still matters
Automated estimates use the same raw data but can’t see condition, layout or view. A proper comparative market analysis adjusts for what the numbers miss. Our free estimators give you a fast starting point; a CMA gives you a pricing decision.
The takeaway
Use recent, similar sales adjusted for differences, treat MPAC and averages as context, and get a proper CMA before you price or offer.

Frequently asked questions
Are sold prices public in Toronto?
Partly. The land registry records the price on transfer, while detailed MLS sold data is available through licensed agents and some registered websites.
Is my MPAC assessment what my home is worth?
No. It is a property tax valuation, not a market price.
How many comparables do I need?
Usually several recent, similar sales, adjusted for differences.
Why do online estimates differ from sold prices?
They can’t see condition, layout or view, which is where a proper comparison adds value.
