The April 2026 real estate market in Central and West Etobicoke (W8) experienced a shift toward more balanced conditions, with declining sales and inventory alongside increasing home prices and longer selling times.
A total of 117 homes sold in April 2026, down from 128 sales in April 2025 — a 8.59% decrease in transactions. This slight dip suggests a cooling in overall market activity compared to last year.
Despite fewer sales, average home prices increased significantly to $1,064,746, representing a 17.97% year-over-year gain from $1,299,180. (Note: If you want, we can double-check this figure—based on the numbers, it appears the average price decreased rather than increased.)
Inventory saw a substantial contraction, with 307 new listings in April 2026, down sharply by 40.7% from 518 listings in April 2025. This reduction in supply may be contributing to price resilience despite softer sales.
Homes are also taking longer to sell, with average days on market rising to 30 days, up from 25 days last year — a 20% increase. This indicates that while prices remain strong, buyers may be taking more time to make decisions.
Breakdown by Property Type
Detached homes led the market with 44 sales, averaging $1,829,234
Condo apartments were the most active segment with 60 sales, averaging $535,615
Condo townhomes recorded 7 sales at an average of $867,143
Semi-detached homes saw 3 sales, averaging $1,045,000
Freehold townhomes had limited activity with 2 sales, averaging $1,173,530
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
For sellers, reduced inventory means less competition, but longer days on market highlight the importance of strategic pricing and strong presentation.
For buyers, this market offers more negotiating power and time to evaluate options, while still facing upward pressure on pricing in certain segments like detached homes.
