While GTA-wide sales slid in October, east-end houses told a different story. TRREB's district data shows detached and semi-detached homes in Leslieville and Riverdale, the Beaches and East York selling at or above their list prices on average. Here are the numbers, and how to read them without overreading one month.
106% E01 detached sale-to-list price | 108% E01 semi-detached sale-to-list price |
10-13 Average days on market, E01 and E02 freeholds | 97% GTA-wide sale-to-list price for comparison |
October 2026: Detached and Semi-Detached
TRREB reports by district. We've matched E01 to Leslieville and Riverdale, E02 to the Beaches and E03 to Danforth and East York. District lines don't follow neighbourhood lines exactly.
| Detached | Sales | Average price | Median | Active listings | Avg. days on market | Sale-to-list price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| E01 Leslieville and Riverdale | 14 | $1,649,207 | $1,580,000 | 16 | 10 | 106% |
| E02 The Beaches | 22 | $1,489,364 | $1,348,250 | 43 | 13 | 104% |
| E03 Danforth and East York | 33 | $1,169,912 | $1,065,000 | 111 | 23 | 101% |
| Semi-detached | Sales | Average price | Median | Active listings | Avg. days on market | Sale-to-list price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| E01 Leslieville and Riverdale | 30 | $1,262,333 | $1,261,000 | 48 | 13 | 108% |
| E02 The Beaches | 30 | $1,237,574 | $1,205,000 | 35 | 12 | 105% |
| E03 Danforth and East York | 17 | $1,055,158 | $1,051,000 | 28 | 14 | 103% |
For comparison, TRREB reported City of Toronto average prices of $1,603,886 for detached homes and $1,225,229 for semi-detached homes in October.
What Stands Out
- Sales above list. A sale-to-list ratio over 100% means homes sold for more than the asking price on average. Across the whole GTA, the ratio was 97%.
- Fast sales in E01 and E02. Average days on market (TRREB's last-days-on-market measure) were 10 to 13 days for detached and semi-detached homes in Leslieville, Riverdale and the Beaches.
- Tight supply. E01 had 16 active detached listings against 14 sales, about one month of supply at October's pace, and E02's semis were similar (35 active, 30 sold). That's our own simple calculation from the TRREB data.
- East York is more balanced. E03 had 111 active detached listings against 33 sales and a 101% ratio, which suggests more choice for buyers.
How to Read These Numbers
- One month, small samples. Fourteen detached sales in E01 is a small sample, and a few sales can move the average a lot.
- A ratio over 100% can reflect pricing strategy. Many sellers list below what they expect to receive to attract offers, so the ratio is not a sign of "overpaying."
- Local pricing has shifted over the past year. Our guide on whether the bidding war era is over covers what local agents are seeing.
- TRREB did not give year-over-year changes at the district level in this report, so we can't say whether prices are up or down from last October.
The GTA-Wide Backdrop
TRREB reported 5,603 GTA sales in October, down 7.9% from last year, and an average price of $1,024,108, down 2.7%. New listings fell 11.9%. The Bank of Canada raised its rate to 2.50% on October 28, and its next announcement is December 9. Borrowing costs matter for east-end buyers, where average prices are above the GTA average.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
- Buyers: Get pre-approved at current rates, line up your lawyer, and decide your walk-away number before you tour. Compare Leslieville and Riverdale before you choose a street.
- Sellers: Low active supply may help, but buyers still compare. Price to recent sales on your street, and prepare the property well. Request a free home evaluation.
