Midtown Toronto prices eased in 2026 but houses held up better than condos. From January to October 2026, detached medians ranged from $1,793,000 in C03 to $3,627,500 in C09, and fell in five of six districts. Condo medians ran from $468,500 to $840,000 and fell everywhere. Expect a slow, steady 2027 rather than a rebound.
This guide is for buyers, sellers and owners in midtown Toronto who want to see prices by home type before planning a move in 2027. You will get three years of sold data for each midtown district, condo and rent figures for the Yonge and Eglinton area, the land transfer tax on typical midtown prices, and what forecasters expect, with my own view labelled.
What are midtown Toronto house prices in 2026?
A detached house in midtown Toronto sold for a median of about $1.8 million to $3.6 million from January to October 2026, depending on the district. TRREB splits midtown into six districts. C02 covers the Annex, Casa Loma, Wychwood and Yonge-St. Clair. C03 covers Forest Hill South, Humewood-Cedarvale, Oakwood Village and Yonge-Eglinton. C04 covers Bedford Park-Nortown, Englemount-Lawrence, Forest Hill North and Lawrence Park North and South. C09 is Rosedale-Moore Park, C10 is Mount Pleasant East and West, and C11 covers Leaside, Thorncliffe Park and Flemingdon Park.
| Detached, Jan–Oct | 2024 median | 2025 median | 2026 median | Change vs 2025 | 2026 sales | Avg days on market 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C02 (Annex, Casa Loma) | $2,812,500 | $2,599,500 | $2,375,000 | -8.6% | 82 | 26 |
| C03 (Forest Hill South, Yonge-Eglinton) | $1,837,500 | $1,875,000 | $1,793,000 | -4.4% | 223 | 24 |
| C04 (Lawrence Park, Bedford Park) | $2,550,000 | $2,450,000 | $2,352,500 | -4.0% | 380 | 21 |
| C09 (Rosedale-Moore Park) | $3,945,000 | $4,000,000 | $3,627,500 | -9.3% | 74 | 34 |
| C10 (Mount Pleasant, Davisville area) | $2,170,407 | $1,940,000 | $2,125,000 | +9.5% | 88 | 13 |
| C11 (Leaside, Thorncliffe) | $2,550,000 | $2,500,000 | $2,258,500 | -9.7% | 100 | 19 |
Source: TRREB MLS data via REALM, January–October 2026 vs the same period of 2025 and 2024. Midtown = districts C02, C03, C04, C09, C10 and C11. District medians, not street or neighbourhood prices. Not a forecast.
Five of the six districts were lower than in 2025. C10 was the exception, with a higher median and the fastest sales in midtown at 13 days on average. C10 was also one of only three Toronto districts where the detached median rose in 2026. Detached sales across all six districts were 947, up from 893 in 2025, so buyers did not disappear. They simply paid less in most areas.
How much do semi-detached homes and condos cost in midtown?
A semi-detached house in midtown sold for a median of $1.2 million to $2.6 million in 2026, and a condo apartment for $468,500 to $840,000.
| Jan–Oct 2026 | Semi median | Semi change vs 2025 | Condo apartment median | Condo change vs 2025 | Condo sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C02 | $1,713,500 | -7.4% | $840,000 | -7.4% | 338 |
| C03 | $1,218,000 | -0.6% | $620,000 | -15.0% | 111 |
| C04 | $1,641,250 | +5.8% | $677,500 | -16.0% | 120 |
| C09 | $2,635,000 | -11.1% | $820,000 | -22.0% | 67 |
| C10 | $1,400,342 | +5.3% | $610,000 | -3.9% | 357 |
| C11 | $1,380,000 | -1.5% | $468,500 | -10.8% | 145 |
Source: TRREB MLS data via REALM, January–October 2026 vs the same period of 2025. Semi-detached sales in several districts were under 60, so single sales can move the median.
Semis held up better than condos. In C04 and C10 the semi median actually rose. Condos fell in every district, and the steepest drops came where condo sales are thin. That pattern makes sense to me: midtown families who cannot stretch to a detached house compete for semis, while the condo side still has plenty of choice.
What is happening in the Yonge and Eglinton condo market?
Yonge and Eglinton is midtown’s main condo hub. Most of its condo sales are counted in C10 (Mount Pleasant West) and C03 (the Yonge-Eglinton community). C10 had 357 condo apartment sales from January to October 2026, the most in midtown, at a median of $610,000, down 3.9% from 2025. That is a smaller drop than most of the city. My guide on what a midtown condo is worth goes deeper on pricing a specific unit.
Transit is the big change. Line 5 Eglinton opened on 8 February 2026, running from Mount Dennis to Kennedy. Its midtown stops include Cedarvale, Forest Hill, Chaplin, Avenue, Eglinton, Mount Pleasant, Leaside and Laird, with transfers to Line 1 at Cedarvale and Eglinton. After years of construction along Eglinton, buyers can now see what the finished line means for daily life, which should help homes near the stations.
Rents near Yonge and Eglinton are steady but not rising. In the second quarter of 2026, condo apartments leased through TRREB in C10 averaged $2,224 for a one-bedroom and $3,095 for a two-bedroom, across 773 leases. In C03 the averages were $2,258 and $3,542. Across the GTA, average condo rents were about 2% lower than a year earlier.
Is midtown Toronto a buyer’s or seller’s market right now?
Midtown is close to balanced for houses and leans toward buyers for condos. From January to October 2026, midtown sold about 95 detached homes a month and had 412 active detached listings, or roughly four and a half months of supply. Condo apartments sold about 114 a month against 730 active listings, roughly six and a half months. Those are my own calculations from the REALM data.
Detached listings have been climbing: 346 active in 2024, 379 in 2025 and 412 in 2026. More choice gives buyers time to compare and negotiate. In October 2026, detached sellers in C03 received about 94% of their asking price on average and in C04 about 96%, according to TRREB. Sellers who price too high in midtown wait, and then cut.

How much land transfer tax do you pay on a midtown home?
Buyers in midtown pay both Ontario’s land transfer tax and Toronto’s municipal land transfer tax. On a typical midtown detached price, the two together come to roughly $65,000 to $166,000. Since 1 April 2026, Toronto charges higher rates on the part of a home’s price above $3 million, starting at 4.40%.
| Purchase price | Example | Ontario LTT | Toronto MLTT | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $610,000 | C10 condo median | $8,675 | $8,675 | $17,350 |
| $1,793,000 | C03 detached median | $32,335 | $32,335 | $64,670 |
| $2,352,500 | C04 detached median | $45,288 | $45,288 | $90,575 |
| $3,627,500 | C09 detached median | $77,163 | $89,085 | $166,248 |
Source: my calculations using Ontario land transfer tax rates (ontario.ca) and City of Toronto MLTT rates, including the rates in effect from 1 April 2026. Before first-time buyer refunds. Rounded to the dollar.
First-time buyers can get up to $4,000 back from Ontario and up to $4,475 from Toronto, but at midtown prices that only takes a small bite. The tax is due in cash on closing, on top of your down payment.
What is the forecast for midtown Toronto real estate in 2027?
No one publishes a midtown-only forecast, so here is what the broad forecasts say, with dates. CMHC’s July 2026 baseline sees the Toronto-area average price, all home types, at $1,020,000 for 2026 and $1,050,000 for 2027, with sales rising from 63,500 to 71,500. The Bank of Canada raised its policy rate to 2.50% on 28 October 2026, said housing is expected to remain relatively weak, and signalled another increase could be needed. Its next decision is 9 December 2026.
My own view, and it is only that, is that midtown houses will hold better than condos in 2027. Detached sales already rose in 2026, and I expect homes within walking distance of the new Line 5 stations to draw steady interest. Condos in thin markets like C04 and C09 may stay volatile. If rates rise again in December or early 2027, expect slower spring sales across all of midtown.
What could change that? TRREB’s president said in November 2026 that a Canada-U.S. trade deal and an end to the conflict in the Middle East could ease worries about inflation and bring buyers back in 2027. If both happen and rates stop rising, I think midtown’s move-up buyers, the families trading a condo or semi for a house, could return quickly. If neither happens, the slow, negotiated market of 2026 is the more likely path.
Which midtown district fits which buyer?
- C10 (Mount Pleasant, Davisville area): the busiest condo market and the fastest-selling houses. Suits first-time condo buyers and families who want transit at the door.
- C03 (Forest Hill South, Humewood-Cedarvale, Oakwood Village, Yonge-Eglinton): the widest range, from the lowest midtown semi median to Forest Hill houses. Good for buyers who want midtown at a lower entry point.
- C04 and C11 (Lawrence Park, Bedford Park, Leaside): family-home districts, and C04 is midtown’s largest detached market with 380 sales in 2026. Suits move-up buyers with a budget above $2 million.
- C02 and C09 (Annex, Casa Loma, Rosedale-Moore Park): older housing and the highest prices. Suits buyers who want character homes and can handle the higher land transfer tax.
For help choosing who to work with, see my honest guide on picking an agent in midtown Toronto.
In midtown, the street and the lot matter more than the district median. Two houses three blocks apart can differ by half a million dollars. If you are buying, spring 2027 may bring more competition than this fall, so a well-priced home you like now is worth a serious look. If you are selling a detached house, you have a good chance of a fair price if you price to recent sales, not to 2024. If you are selling a condo, expect to negotiate and plan for six to eight weeks.
Should you sell a midtown home in 2027?
If you are moving within Toronto, selling and buying in the same market mostly cancels out any timing gain. A family in a Leaside condo moving up to a semi is buying in a market that has also softened. If you are downsizing out of a large detached house, 2027 could suit you, because detached demand in midtown has held up better than condo demand. If you are leaving the city, read my guide to what a midtown house is worth first, then compare it with the wider Toronto housing market 2027 outlook.
Some midtown medians rest on small numbers. The C09 condo median fell 22% in 2026, but that figure comes from just 67 sales, and one or two penthouse sales can swing it. Never price your home, or judge an offer, from a district median alone. Ask for the actual sales of similar homes on your street or in your building from the last six months.
What to do next
- Find your TRREB district (C02, C03, C04, C09, C10 or C11) and compare your home type with the tables above.
- Use the estimator above for a starting number, then get a written market analysis based on recent sales near you.
- If you are buying, budget the land transfer tax in cash and get a mortgage pre-approval with a rate hold before 9 December 2026.
- If you are selling in spring 2027, book repairs and pre-listing work this winter so you can list early.
- Book a short call if you want a second opinion on price, timing or a specific street.

Frequently asked questions
What is the average house price in midtown Toronto?
A detached house in midtown Toronto sold for a median of $1,793,000 to $3,627,500 from January to October 2026, depending on the TRREB district. C03 (Forest Hill South and Yonge-Eglinton) was the lowest and C09 (Rosedale-Moore Park) the highest. Semi-detached medians ranged from $1,218,000 to $2,635,000, and condo apartments from $468,500 to $840,000.
Are midtown Toronto house prices going down?
Yes, in most of midtown. From January to October 2026, the detached median fell in five of six midtown districts compared with 2025, by 4% to 10%. The exception was C10 (Mount Pleasant and the Davisville area), where the median rose 9.5% to $2,125,000. Condo apartment medians fell in all six midtown districts.
How much is a condo at Yonge and Eglinton in 2026?
A condo apartment near Yonge and Eglinton sold for a median of about $610,000 in TRREB district C10 and $620,000 in C03 from January to October 2026. C10 prices were down 3.9% from 2025 and C03 prices were down 15.0%. Size, floor, parking and building age can move a unit well above or below those medians.
Did Line 5 Eglinton raise home prices in midtown Toronto?
It is too early to say. Line 5 Eglinton opened on 8 February 2026, and in the first ten months of 2026 the detached median rose in C10 but fell in the other five midtown districts. Many other forces, including higher interest rates, were at work. Over time, being close to a station is likely to help demand, but that is a view, not a measured result.
What is the midtown Toronto real estate forecast for 2027?
Forecasts point to a slow 2027 for midtown Toronto rather than a sharp move either way. CMHC’s July 2026 baseline sees the Toronto-area average price rising about 3% in 2027, but that came before the Bank of Canada raised its rate to 2.50% in October 2026. Detached houses in midtown have held up better than condos so far.
How much land transfer tax do I pay on a $2 million house in Toronto?
A buyer pays about $72,950 in combined land transfer tax on a $2,000,000 house in Toronto in 2026: $36,475 to Ontario and $36,475 to the City of Toronto. First-time buyers can claim up to $4,000 back from Ontario and $4,475 from Toronto. Since 1 April 2026, Toronto charges higher rates on any portion of a price above $3 million.
Which TRREB districts are in midtown Toronto?
Midtown Toronto is usually taken as TRREB districts C02, C03, C04, C09, C10 and C11. They cover areas such as the Annex, Casa Loma, Forest Hill, Yonge-Eglinton, Lawrence Park, Bedford Park, Rosedale-Moore Park, Mount Pleasant, Leaside and Thorncliffe Park. Together they had 947 detached sales from January to October 2026.
Is midtown Toronto a good place to buy in 2027?
Midtown Toronto can be a good place to buy in 2027 if you plan to stay at least five to seven years. Detached prices in most districts were 4% to 10% lower in 2026 than in 2025, there were about four and a half months of supply, and Line 5 now runs along Eglinton. The main risk is further rate increases.
How fast do houses sell in midtown Toronto?
Detached houses in midtown Toronto took 13 to 34 days on average to sell from January to October 2026, depending on the district. C10 was fastest at 13 days and C09 (Rosedale-Moore Park) slowest at 34 days. Condo apartments were slower, at roughly 35 to 41 days. Overpriced homes take much longer than these averages.
