What homes cost

The table above splits the quarter by property type. Start with the row for the home you want rather than the headline median, because the headline blends houses and condos.

Semi-detached houses were the largest group, with 32 sales, a median of about $1,332,000 and an average of about $1,343,000.

The 24 detached sales had a median of about $1,949,000 and an average of about $2,067,000. Four condo townhouses sold at a median of about $1,355,000, close to the semi-detached figure. The 8 condo apartment sales had a median of about $699,000. TRREB recorded no freehold townhouse sales this quarter.

Sixty-eight sales in three months is a small sample. A single expensive house can move the average. Compare several quarters and recent sales on the same street before you set a price or make an offer.

Downsizing in Mount Pleasant East

Downsizing here usually means one of three moves. The first is from a detached house to a semi-detached house on a nearby street. On the April to June 2026 figures, the gap between the detached median of about $1,949,000 and the semi-detached median of about $1,332,000 was roughly $617,000.

The second is a condo townhouse. Four sold this quarter at a median of about $1,355,000, so the price is close to a semi and the choice is thin.

The third is a condo apartment. Eight sold at a median of about $699,000. The 2021 Census counted 2,155 dwellings in apartment buildings of five or more storeys, but with only 8 resales in a quarter, any given month may offer few units to compare.

Many owners widen the search west to Mount Pleasant West, where TRREB recorded 114 condo apartment sales in the same quarter. Our Yonge and Eglinton guide covers that market. Leaside, across Bayview Avenue, is mostly detached houses. Our downsizing guide explains how to time the sale and the purchase.
