Of 12,517 homes for sale in Toronto, 6,096 are listed at or under $750,000 — about half the city. But only 86 of them are detached houses. What the band really holds, type by type and neighbourhood by neighbourhood.

The short answer
Start with the headline: $750,000 in Toronto is a condo budget. The live feed lists 12,517 homes for sale in the city, and 6,096 of them — about half — are asking $750,000 or less. That sounds like a deep market, and by raw count it is. But the band is not half the city in any useful sense: its median asking price is $499,900, which means half of everything inside the band is listed under $500,000, and what fills it is overwhelmingly one kind of home.
Condo apartments account for 4,087 of the 6,096 listings — two of every three. Add 443 condo townhouses and the condo sector makes up roughly three quarters of the band. The freehold houses are the rounding error: 86 detached houses and 51 semi-detached, in the entire city, at this budget. And the very bottom of the band is not housing at all — a sample of the band’s 200 cheapest listings turns up parking spaces, lockers, small shops and businesses for sale alongside a handful of homes. For calibration, Toronto’s overall median ask is $780,000, so a $750K budget sits just under the middle of the whole market — which is exactly why the band holds about half of it, and exactly why the half it holds skews small.
The $750K question, in other words, is really two questions: which condo, out of thousands — and whether one of the scarce houses can be yours.
Where the band lives
Geography follows type. In a sample of the band’s cheapest listings, the same condo districts recur: the Waterfront Communities and the Church-Yonge Corridor downtown, Moss Park just east of the core, and Willowdale East and Willowdale West in North York — the big condo clusters along the subway lines and the lake. These are the band’s centre of gravity: mostly smaller units in large buildings, in the neighbourhoods where Toronto built its condo stock.
A sample of the band’s listings drawn from the middle of the band spreads wider, and starts to show the edges where the freehold exceptions sit. Scarborough pockets — Clairlea-Birchmount, Wexford-Maryvale, Agincourt — appear alongside Weston and Etobicoke’s West Humber-Clairville. Out there the band buys different things: older condo buildings and condo townhouses, certainly, but also, occasionally, the small older detached or semi-detached house on a modest lot that makes up the 86 and the 51. The pattern is consistent: the closer to the core, the more $750K is a condo; the further out, the more it becomes a house — a smaller, older one.
| Type | For sale at or under $750K |
|---|---|
| Condo Apartment | 4,087 |
| Condo Townhouse | 443 |
| Detached | 86 |
| Semi-Detached | 51 |
| Townhouse | 25 |
| All listings at or under $750K | 6,096 |
The five types above are the band’s residential core; the rest of the 6,096 is other types, including land, commercial and sundry listings. Counts from the same live feed, pulled November 10, 2026 at 12:35 a.m. ET.
What it means
Buyers: at $750K you hold a strong hand in the condo market — 4,087 apartments means real choice across downtown, North York and the outer condo clusters, and room to be picky about building, floor and exposure. Your hand in the house market is the opposite: 86 detached listings citywide means every decent one draws a crowd, so house criteria have to start from the map — the Scarborough, Etobicoke and Weston pockets above — and from condition, not from a wish list. Keep the rest of the ladder in view for calibration: at the other end of the same city, Forest Hill South’s median ask is $3,999,000. The $750K band is where Toronto’s ladder starts, not where it pauses.
Sellers: which side of the band you sit on decides your leverage. A condo listed under $750K competes with 6,096 other listings — the deepest shelf in the city — so pricing against your building’s current asks, and presenting well, is the whole game. A freehold house under $750K is the opposite: a detached is one of 86 in a city of 12,517 listings, scarce by definition, and priced right it should not lack for attention.
