Ontario's market this morning: 78,917 homes for sale, median ask $699,900
Wednesday, November 11 — city medians hide the real story. In today's featured market, Rosedale-Moore Park, the median ask is $1,995,000 — and across Toronto's prestige pockets the median asking price swings by $4,846,000 from one neighbourhood to the next: $1,149,000 in Banbury-Don Mills, $5,995,000 in Bridle Path-Sunnybrook-York Mills.
The headline numbers
- 78,917 homes for sale in Ontario this morning; the median asking price is $699,900.
- 37,095 homes for lease, median asking rent $2,100 a month.
- Detached homes are 45% of everything for sale — 35,254 listings — still the market's centre of gravity.
- Toronto: 12,523 homes for sale, median ask $780,000 — and 43% of that supply (5,389 listings) is condo apartments. Province-wide, condos are just 14% of what's for sale. Toronto's market and Ontario's market are built from different housing.
Where the inventory sits
The asking-price spread tells you who this market is stocked for. Of everything for sale in Ontario today, 29.0% asks under $500,000 (22,919 listings) and 42.4% sits between $500,000 and $1 million (33,446) — the first-time and move-up bands hold nearly three-quarters of all supply. The top is thinner than the headlines suggest: 19.0% asks $1–2 million, and just 9.6% (7,576 listings) asks $2 million or more. In plain terms, Ontario's active market is a mid-market: the competition, the choice, and most of the eventual deals live between $500,000 and $1 million.
Featured market: Rosedale-Moore Park, neighbourhood by neighbourhood
Rosedale-Moore Park's own numbers — 119 homes for sale, median ask $1,995,000, plus 74 for lease — sit more than two and a half times above Toronto's city-wide median of $780,000. But even Toronto's prestige pockets don't move as one market. Today's table is Rosedale-Moore Park plus its prestige peer neighbourhoods across Toronto — the eight biggest pools among those pockets. The split:
- Banbury-Don Mills — 196 listings, median $1,149,000. The most affordable pool among the eight — the entry point to this prestige table.
- Bridle Path-Sunnybrook-York Mills — 91 listings, median $5,995,000. The priciest pool in the table — more than five times the Banbury-Don Mills median.
- St. Andrew-Windfields — 119 listings, median $2,988,000.
- Rosedale-Moore Park — 119 listings, median $1,995,000.
- Bedford Park-Nortown — 112 listings, median $2,495,000.
- Casa Loma — 87 listings, median $1,949,000.
- Forest Hill South — 87 listings, median $3,999,000.
- Lawrence Park South — 80 listings, median $2,795,000.
One city, a $4,846,000 spread between neighbourhood medians — all of them prestige addresses. A buyer working with a $1,149,000 budget is right at the median in Banbury-Don Mills — and barely shopping at all in Bridle Path-Sunnybrook-York Mills, where that budget sits $4,846,000 below the neighbourhood median. This is why the Brief will keep drilling to the neighbourhood level: the city median is the average of markets that don't compete with each other.

What it means
If you're buying: shop the neighbourhood, not the city. Toronto's $780,000 median describes almost nothing about its prestige pockets, where medians run from $1,149,000 to $5,995,000 — your budget is strong in one pool and a stretch in the next. Province-wide, the $500,000–$1,000,000 band holds the most choice — 33,446 listings — so patience there is rewarded with options.
If you're selling: your competition is your neighbourhood's active listings, not your city's. A Banbury-Don Mills seller is competing with 196 listings around a $1,149,000 median; a Bridle Path-Sunnybrook-York Mills seller with 91 around $5,995,000.
