King City September 2026 Market Update
Oct 19th, 2026
King is a 20-sale market, and in a market this size the average price tells you which homes sold, not what homes are worth. September's average was $1,875,750, up 6.2% from last September. The median was $1,710,000, up 4.0%. The detached median, which is 16 of the 20 sales, was up 0.3%. Flat is the plainer read on prices.
Stouffville September 2026 Market Update
Oct 18th, 2026
. The average fell 8.7% to $1,139,770 and the median fell 8.3% to $1,050,000, both moving together, so this isn't a mix story. Detached, which is 63% of what sells here, repriced 8% on the average and almost 10% on the median across 26 sales. The homes that did sell went quickly, 35 days against 44 in August, and semis and townhouses closed above asking. Fewer buyers, but the ones who showed up were decisive. The GTA-wide picture is in our September 2026 Market Watch post.
Vaughan September 2026 Market Update
Oct 18th, 2026
Vaughan's average sale price in September 2026 was $1,163,441. In September 2025 it was $1,163,498. Fifty-seven dollars apart, on 213 sales. We've been doing this a long time and we don't remember a cleaner year-over-year flat line. It's also almost entirely a coincidence, because underneath that number the two Septembers look nothing alike.
York Region September 2026 Market Update
Oct 17th, 2026
Prices came down together this time. The average slipped 3.7% year over year to $1,136,650 and the median fell 4.1% to $1,043,000. In August the average held while the median dropped; in September both moved, and the detached share of sales was the same 54% it was a year ago, so there's no mix story to hide behind. The softness sits below the detached tier: semi-detached, condo townhouse and condo apartment medians are all down roughly 11% to 14%.
