A new Wahi breakdown reveals the true range of what buyers are paying across the region
The Greater Toronto Area is not one housing market — it is dozens, and the gap between them has rarely been more visible.
New analysis from digital real estate platform Wahi, covering sales from January to June 2026 across all GTA neighbourhoods with at least five transactions, found that median sold prices ranged from $405,000 to $3.2 million.
The nearly $2.8-million spread is a pointed reminder that regional averages can obscure as much as they reveal.
For brokers managing client expectations around mortgage qualification, knowing which communities remain within reach matters more than ever.
Luxury concentrates in Toronto and Oakville
Moore Park recorded the GTA's highest median sold price in the first half of 2026, at $3.2 million, according to the Wahi data. The established Old Toronto neighbourhood is defined by large detached homes and its proximity to the Moore Park and Vale of Avoca ravines.
Lawrence Park followed at $3.1 million, its winding residential streets and access to top schools having long cemented its status as one of the city's most coveted addresses.
Oakville claimed the next two positions. Southwest Oakville posted a median of $2.7 million, its lakeside lots home to original homes alongside custom-built luxury residences.
Neighbouring Eastlake recorded $2.5 million, characterised by expansive properties and waterfront access.
Windfields in North York rounded out the top five at just under $2.4 million, combining a suburban atmosphere with easy access to Highway 401.
The pattern at the high end is consistent with broader market dynamics. Buyers are returning to Canada's detached market, with activity picking up across key GTA communities, even as price growth remains broadly flat.
Condos create rare entry points below $500,000
The five least expensive GTA neighbourhoods all posted median sold prices below $500,000, underpinned by highrise and apartment-style housing that continues to offer some of the region's only attainable entry points for first-time buyers.
Thorncliffe Park in East York was the GTA's most affordable neighbourhood at $405,000, its dense condo supply supported by strong transit access.
Brampton's Queen Street Corridor ranked second at $421,000, followed by Woodbine in Etobicoke at $450,000, Flemingdon Park in North York at $483,500, and Core Mississauga at $485,000, centred around Square One, where condo density keeps prices among the region's lowest.
Doug Porter, chief economist at Bank of Montreal (BMO), previously told Canadian Mortgage Professional that the condo segment remains under sustained pressure.
"We don't see a quick turnaround on that front," he said. "That's probably the last area that will turn just because of the amount of supply that's now hitting the market."
The Wahi data reinforces the softening GTA bidding wars through the spring of 2026. Buyer demand is concentrating at the affordable end, not the top.
With only 22% of GTA households planning to purchase a home this year, down from 27% in 2025, the localised neighbourhood data offers brokers a sharper lens for those conversations.
