The average home price in Toronto — all property types combined — is approximately $1,050,000–$1,150,000 in 2025 for the City of Toronto proper. That headline number reflects a wide range: condos in the $550,000–$750,000 range pulling the average down, detached homes in the $1,300,000–$2,500,000 range pushing it up, with semi-detached and townhouses in between. Understanding what drives Toronto's average home price — and what each property type actually costs — matters more than the headline number for buyers planning a purchase.
TRREB (Toronto Regional Real Estate Board) publishes monthly market statistics tracking average and median sale prices by property type across Toronto and the broader GTA. The City of Toronto consistently shows among the highest prices in the GTA. The average is published by property type — composite averages can mislead buyers who are shopping for a specific product.
Average Condo Price in Toronto
Condo apartments in the City of Toronto average $650,000–$720,000 in 2025. That average covers studios at $450,000–$550,000, 1-bedroom units at $550,000–$700,000, 1-bedroom-plus-den at $650,000–$800,000, and 2-bedroom units at $800,000–$1,100,000. Location drives significant variation within the condo market — a 1-bedroom downtown on King West runs $650,000–$750,000 while a comparable unit in north Scarborough runs $480,000–$560,000.
Average Semi-Detached Price in Toronto
Semi-detached homes in Toronto average $1,100,000–$1,250,000 across the city. The range is substantial: Scarborough semis sell in the $700,000–$900,000 range while Leslieville and Riverdale semis trade at $1,100,000–$1,400,000, and midtown semis in Leaside and Davisville reach $1,400,000–$1,700,000. Semi-detached is typically the property type where young families with budgets in the $900,000–$1,300,000 range compete most intensely in established Toronto neighbourhoods.
Average Detached Home Price in Toronto
Detached homes in Toronto average $1,550,000–$1,800,000 city-wide. The spread is enormous: a Scarborough detached on a 40-foot lot might sell for $850,000–$1,050,000, while a Leaside detached on a 30-foot lot trades at $1,800,000–$2,500,000. Rosedale and Forest Hill detached starts at $2,500,000 and rarely has a ceiling. The detached average in Toronto includes everything from bungalows in Agincourt to Victorian homes in Annex, so it's a limited number for planning purposes without geographic filtering.
Average Townhouse Price in Toronto
Freehold townhouses in Toronto average $950,000–$1,100,000. Condo townhouses (which include POTLs — Parcel of Tied Land structures) average $750,000–$900,000 with additional monthly maintenance fees of $200–$500. Freehold towns in the east end and Etobicoke — particularly in newer communities — run $800,000–$1,000,000. Freehold towns in midtown and on prime west-end streets can reach $1,200,000–$1,500,000.

What Drives Toronto Home Prices
Toronto's average home price is supported by four structural factors that aren't going away. First, population growth: immigration, international students, and domestic migration consistently add more residents than new housing supply. Second, land scarcity: the greenbelt limits outward expansion, and in-fill development in established neighbourhoods is limited by zoning and community resistance. Third, economic activity: Toronto's financial district, tech sector, and healthcare employment base creates high-income demand. Fourth, school and neighbourhood premiums: the best school catchments in midtown command $300,000–$500,000 premiums over comparable properties outside them.
Understanding how affordability maps to your income and what down payment you need are the first steps before shopping by price in Toronto. The average is a benchmark — your specific situation determines what's actually within reach.

FAQ
What is the median vs. average home price in Toronto?
The average home price in Toronto is pulled upward by a small number of very high-priced detached sales (Rosedale, Forest Hill, Lawrence Park). The median — the middle sale price — is typically $100,000–$200,000 lower than the average for the same period. TRREB publishes both in its monthly market reports. For most buyers, the median is a more meaningful benchmark than the average.
Did Toronto home prices drop in 2022–2023?
Yes, significantly. As the Bank of Canada raised interest rates from 0.25% to 5.00% between March 2022 and July 2023, Toronto home prices fell 15–25% peak-to-trough from their early 2022 highs. The correction was steepest in condos and outer Toronto markets. By late 2024 and into 2025, most segments had stabilized, with some recovery. Buyers who purchased at the 2022 peak and needed to sell in 2023 faced losses.
Why are Toronto home prices so much higher than other Canadian cities?
Toronto's prices reflect demand-supply imbalance amplified by economic concentration. As Canada's financial and business hub, Toronto attracts high-income earners who compete for limited housing. The greenbelt restricts outward expansion. Zoning historically limited density in established neighbourhoods. Recent provincial housing legislation (More Homes Built Faster Act) is attempting to increase supply, but the effects on prices will take years to materialize at scale.
Are Toronto home prices expected to rise or fall in 2025?
TRREB and major bank forecasters project modest price stability or modest appreciation in 2025, contingent on interest rate direction. Bank of Canada rate cuts in 2024 provided some demand stimulus. Supply additions remain below the pace needed to meaningfully reduce prices. Most analysts expect the Toronto market to be range-bound in 2025 rather than seeing sharp moves in either direction. No forecast should substitute for your personal affordability analysis.
How do I compare Toronto home prices to what I can afford?
Start with your pre-approval. A mortgage pre-approval tells you what a lender will extend under the stress test, which is your real ceiling. Then subtract your down payment from that to get your purchase price limit. Compare that to the specific property type and area you want — not to the city-wide average, which includes property types and neighbourhoods outside your target.
