In short

  • Toronto C01 average selling price held steady at $778,870 versus July 2026.
  • Toronto C01 sales dropped 16.6% to 231 versus July 2026.
  • Toronto C01 reads differently on the two balance measures — a buyer's market at 38.4% sales-to-new-listings, but balanced conditions at 5.3 months of inventory. They measure different things, so the split is worth noting.

Days-on-market shows a break at January 2020. TRREB published a single average DOM before then and split it into LDOM and PDOM afterwards; they are different measurements, so the chart shows the change rather than joining them into one line.
