Is Toronto currently a buyer’s market or a seller’s market?
Toronto remains buyer-favourable as of August 2026. Inventory is up 15% and months of supply has risen 16%, while the overall benchmark price is down 1.25% year over year, the smallest annual decline the market has posted in several cycles.

What is the benchmark price in Toronto right now?
The overall benchmark price in Toronto is $918,400 as of August 2026, down 3.08% month over month and 1.25% year over year. By segment: detached homes benchmark at $1,437,900, condominiums at $547,400, and semi-detached homes at $1,127,200.
Why has Toronto’s annual price decline narrowed this cycle?
Two of Toronto’s three property type segments have improved meaningfully. Detached has turned barely positive at 0.11% year over year with sales up 9%, and semi-detached has narrowed to -1.84% with sales up 7%, a dramatic turnaround from a much steeper decline last cycle. Condominiums moved in the opposite direction, falling to -2.40% annually as sales dropped 8% and new listings dropped 6%. Because detached and semi-detached carry more weight in the overall benchmark, their improvement is pulling the citywide annual decline down to 1.25%, even as condominiums weaken further.
Which Toronto property type is performing best right now?
Detached is the strongest segment, with the benchmark price up 0.11% year over year and sales up 9% against historical norms, both the best marks in the market. Semi-detached is close behind, narrowing to -1.84% annually with sales up 7%, one of the largest single-segment improvements across any Bode market city this cycle. Both are outperforming the overall market benchmark, which is down 1.25% year over year.
Is now a good time to sell in Toronto?
Detached and semi-detached sellers are in the strongest relative position, with annual price trends improving and sales activity climbing in both segments. Condominium sellers face the toughest conditions in the market, with the benchmark down 2.40% annually and sales down 8%, a reversal from prior cycles when condominiums were among Toronto’s more resilient segments. Pricing to current comparables rather than to last year’s numbers matters most for condominium listings.
