The latest Wahi analysis of the Greater Toronto Area’s real estate market looks at which neighbourhoods have the highest and lowest average days on the market for home sales.

The latest Wahi analysis of the Greater Toronto Area’s real estate market looks at which neighbourhoods with five or more transactions had the highest and lowest average days on market for home sales in July 2026.

The difference between the GTA’s fastest- and slowest-selling neighbourhoods remained significant, although it narrowed considerably from June. Homes in Alderwood, Etobicoke, sold in an average of just 10 days in July, while properties in Chaplin Estates, Old Toronto, spent an average of 77 days on the market. By comparison, June’s fastest-selling neighbourhood averaged six days on market, while the slowest averaged 126.

The types of homes in a neighbourhood can also affect how quickly properties sell, since condos and detached homes often appeal to different buyers and sell at different speeds.
