DibzAverage home prices in the GTA by city (October 2026)
What homes for sale ask in 22 GTA cities in October 2026, from Toronto and Mississauga to Oshawa and King, by home type, with price per square foot.
The typical home for sale in the Greater Toronto Area asks $915,000 in October 2026. That middle number hides a wide spread: a typical condo apartment asks $565,000, a detached house $1,399,000, and the city you pick moves the price as much as the home type does. A detached house asks about $800,000 in Oshawa and nearly $1.9 million in Richmond Hill and Oakville.
These figures come from the 23,860 homes listed for sale across Toronto, York, Peel, Durham and Halton on October 18, 2026. We use the median asking price, the price in the middle when every listing is lined up, rather than the arithmetic average. One $20 million estate can drag an average up by thousands of dollars; the median barely moves, so it's closer to what a typical home actually asks.

Home prices by GTA city
Toronto's overall median, $799,000, is one of the lowest in the region. That's not because Toronto is cheap: more than half of its listings are condo apartments, which pull the middle number down. Compare like with like (detached with detached, condo with condo) and Toronto sits near the top.
By home type
Here is the same comparison split by home type, so a condo in Brampton lines up with a condo in Markham. A dash means fewer than 20 listings of that type, too few for a fair median.
| Detached | Semi | Freehold town | Condo town | Condo apt | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toronto | $1,590,000 | $1,000,000 | $1,095,000 | $699,000 | $579,945 |

Detached houses: where the gap is widest
Detached homes show the biggest spread. The median detached house asks $799,999 in Oshawa, $1,099,000 in Brampton and Whitby, $1,590,000 in Toronto and $1,888,000 in Richmond Hill. Durham Region (Oshawa, Clarington, Ajax, Whitby, Pickering) and Georgina are where a detached house is most often listed near or under $1 million.
Condo apartments: a much narrower range
Condo prices vary far less from city to city. Most cities' median condo apartment asks between $525,000 and $600,000; only Durham (Oshawa $399,450, Clarington $449,900, Pickering $475,000) and Brampton ($454,500) sit clearly lower. A condo in Toronto ($579,945) asks about the same as one in Vaughan ($579,000) or Burlington ($569,900). Toronto condos are smaller, though, which is why they cost more per square foot.
Price per square foot
Price per square foot evens out the size difference between a downtown one-bedroom and a suburban four-bedroom. Toronto is the most expensive at a median $807 per square foot, followed by King ($769) and Oakville ($707). Oshawa ($469), Ajax ($484) and Brampton ($488) are the lowest.
City by city
- Toronto: 9,583 listings, the most in the region. Detached $1,590,000, semi $1,000,000, condo apartment $579,945. Prices differ a lot between the old city and the inner suburbs; see Etobicoke, North York and Scarborough.
- Mississauga: detached $1,477,000, condo apartment $529,000, with 799 condos for sale.
- Brampton: one of the lowest-priced big cities for freehold homes. Detached $1,099,000, semi $799,000, freehold townhouse $780,500.

- Durham Region: Oshawa, Clarington, Ajax, Whitby and Pickering have the region's lowest prices per square foot.
- Northern York Region: Newmarket, Aurora, Georgina, East Gwillimbury, Whitchurch-Stouffville and King, from mostly lake-area detached homes in Georgina to estates in King.
- Caledon and Halton Hills: Caledon and Halton Hills are mostly detached, with medians of about $1.3 million and $1.16 million.
Asking price vs. sold price
Everything above is an asking price: what sellers list for, not what buyers pay. In a slower market, many homes sell below asking, and some sit for weeks and drop their price. In a busy pocket, well-priced homes can still sell over asking.
Before you make an offer, look at what similar nearby homes actually sold for. Sold prices in Ontario are shown to registered users under the real estate board's rules, which is why most sites ask you to sign in for them. On Dibz they're free with an account. Our guide on how to read GTA sold prices shows how to use them to price an offer.

FAQ
What is the average house price in Toronto in 2026?
In October 2026, the median home for sale in the City of Toronto asks $799,000 across all home types. That's pulled down by the city's many condos: a detached house asks a median $1,590,000, a semi-detached $1,000,000 and a condo apartment $579,945. These are asking prices; sold prices are available to registered users.

Which GTA city has the cheapest houses?
Of the GTA cities with at least 200 listings, Oshawa has the lowest median asking prices: $719,400 overall, $799,999 for a detached house and $399,450 for a condo apartment. Clarington, Georgina, Ajax and Brampton are next for detached homes.
Which GTA city is the most expensive?
King has the highest median ($2,347,495), because most of its listings are large detached homes. Among the bigger cities, Oakville ($1,449,388 overall; $1,879,500 detached) and Richmond Hill ($1,888,000 detached) top the list. Per square foot, Toronto is the most expensive at $807.
Why do you use the median instead of the average?
A handful of very expensive homes can pull an average far above what most homes cost. The median is the price in the middle of all listings, so half ask more and half ask less. It's a better guide to a typical home.
How often do these prices change?
Listings change every day. We'll refresh these numbers regularly; between updates, the live counts and prices for every city are on each city's page, such as homes for sale in Toronto, and on the map.
