All figures in this article are taken from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board Market Watch report for July 2026, released on 6 August 2026. Averages describe a whole area over a single month. They do not describe your house.

North York is not one market. TRREB splits it across several districts, and in July 2026 three of them behaved so differently that treating them as a single area would mislead you badly.

The three districts, all property types, July 2026

District	Sales	Average price	Median price	LDOM	SP to LP
Toronto C12	26	$3,403,938	$2,640,000	42	93%
Toronto C14	90	$891,304	$643,000	38	97%
Toronto C15	115	$910,683	$740,000	33	98%

For reference, the City of Toronto as a whole averaged $1,010,836 across 2,242 sales, with a median of $800,000.

Read the gap between average and median

In C12, the average was $3,403,938 and the median was $2,640,000. The average sits roughly 29 per cent above the median.

In C14, the average was $891,304 and the median was $643,000. The average sits roughly 39 per cent above the median.

In C15, the figures were $910,683 and $740,000, a gap of roughly 23 per cent.

A large gap means the average is being pulled up by a smaller number of expensive sales. In C14, where the gap is widest, the typical property that changed hands in July sold for considerably less than the average implies.

Now separate the property types

Most of that spread comes from mixing house types together. Detached houses only, July 2026:

District	Detached sales	Average price	Median price	LDOM	SP to LP
Toronto C12	17	$4,574,086	$3,615,000	44	92%
Toronto C14	20	$1,744,800	$1,457,500	43	95%
Toronto C15	24	$1,753,167	$1,363,000	36	95%

Two things become clear immediately.

First, C14 and C15 look almost identical on detached average price, $1,744,800 against $1,753,167. On the all-types figures they looked similar too, but for a different reason. C14 sold 90 properties of which only 20 were detached. C15 sold 115 of which 24 were detached. In both districts the majority of July activity was not detached houses.

Second, C12 is a genuinely different market. Seventeen detached sales at an average of $4,574,086, taking 44 days to sell and achieving 92 per cent of asking price. That last figure is the lowest of the three by a clear margin.

What 92 per cent of asking actually means

On a property listed at $4,000,000, achieving 92 per cent rather than 97 per cent is a difference of $200,000.

Across the City of Toronto in July 2026, the average was 97 per cent. C12 came in five percentage points below that. On the price levels involved in C12, five percentage points is a large sum of money, and it is the single strongest argument for treating the listing price in that district as a strategic decision rather than an aspiration.

The honest caveat

Seventeen detached sales is a small sample. So is 20, and so is 24. One unusual property can move a monthly average in any of these districts. That is exactly why I have shown you the median alongside the average every time, and why I would not price a house off a single month of data in any of them.

What a single month is good for is direction and context. If you are selling in C12 and you are working from a City of Toronto average, you are using a number that has almost nothing to do with your property. If you are selling in C14 and quoting the district average of $891,304 without checking whether you are in the detached half or the condominium half, you are doing the same thing in reverse.
