Notably, the market for detached homes in Toronto is experiencing particularly high demand this spring. The fastest-selling neighborhood for detached homes is Rosedale and Moore Park, where homes typically spend just 4 days on the market. Other areas in high demand include Mount Pleasant and Milliken, with homes there averaging 5 and 7 days on the market, respectively. 

Remarkably, 60% of Toronto neighborhoods have detached homes selling within 14 days or less, highlighting the strong interest in these properties, even though homes are rapidly approaching an average price of $2 million.

Varied Market Dynamics in Prestigious Toronto Neighborhoods

Rosedale-Moore Park boasts the fastest sales for detached homes in the city, with an average of only four days on the market. However, semi-detached homes in the same area experience the longest sales duration, averaging 56 days. In contrast, in York Mills, Bridle Path, and Hogs Hollow—one of the city's most prestigious addresses—homes generally detached homes are one of the longest to stay on the market, with an average of 32 days.

In Yorkville, Annex, and Summerhill, the market dynamics differ. Here, semi-detached homes sell much more quickly, averaging just eight days on the market, while condo apartments typically take about a month to sell.
