Crosby spent Q1 2026 doing something almost nothing else in Richmond Hill managed: its semi-detached homes sold for 103% of asking, over list, in an average of 16 days. The neighbourhood as a whole posted 15 sales at a $930,859 average and a $950,000 median at 99% of asking, keeping Crosby's place as one of the most affordable ways into a Richmond Hill freehold. The detached side is a different story, with just 22% of new listings selling. One neighbourhood, two very different temperatures.

Where is Crosby in Richmond Hill?
Crosby sits east of Yonge in the southern half of Richmond Hill, often paired in conversation with Harding next door. The rail corridor cuts through this part of the city, and there's more industrial and commercial presence than in the residential-first neighbourhoods further north, and prices reflect that. This has long been the value entry into Richmond Hill, and the Q1 data says that's still exactly what it is.

Three things jump out of this table.
The semis are on fire. Four sales at 103% of asking in 16 days, absorbing 57% of new listings. In a quarter where most of Richmond Hill negotiated below list, Crosby semi buyers were bidding over it. The reason is simple supply and demand: a freehold semi around $900,000 is one of the scarcest and most wanted products in the city, and Crosby is one of the few places that has it. If this is your segment, come pre-approved and expect company.
Detached is the opposite market. Thirty-six new detached listings, eight sales, a 22% absorption rate. The homes that sold went quickly (28 days), and at 99% of asking, so pricing is holding, but four out of five listings didn't find a buyer. That's leverage for the detached shopper willing to work the inventory that's been sitting.
The condo corner is soft and slow. Three sales averaging $545,000 at 92% of asking and 104 days on market. That 92% is one of the weakest sale-to-list ratios anywhere in Richmond Hill this quarter, worth roughly $45,000 of negotiating room on the average condo transaction here. For a value-focused buyer who doesn't need to move fast, this is the quiet opportunity in the neighbourhood.
What Kind of Homes Does Crosby Have?
Crosby's stock is mixed: established detached homes clustering just over the $1 million line, the semis that anchor the neighbourhood's affordability story, and a small condo segment at the entry point. It's not a neighbourhood with one signature product, and that variety is precisely why the segments behave so differently quarter to quarter.
What Schools are in Crosby?
School options here are average for Richmond Hill rather than the headline catchments that drive premiums in Rouge Woods or Bayview Hill. If a specific school is central to your decision, check the exact address against the YRDSB School Locator before offering, because catchments in this part of the city are granular, and we can pull the current picture for any listing you're weighing.
How is the Commute from Crosby?
The south-of-centre location keeps you close to the Yonge corridor, with Viva service along Yonge and reasonable drives to both the 404 and 407. The rail corridor that borders this area is part of daily life here; factor train proximity street by street when you tour.
What to Consider Before Buying in Crosby
Know which Crosby you're buying. The semi market gives you no room and no time. The detached market gives you both. The condo market gives you the deepest discount in the neighbourhood but asks for patience on resale. These call for three different offer strategies.
Tour the specific streets. Industrial and commercial presence, and the rail corridor, vary block by block here more than in most of Richmond Hill. The difference between a street you love and one you don't is a two-minute drive. Walk it before you decide.
Affordability is the moat. At a $950,000 median in a city where most freehold neighbourhoods start well above $1.2 million, Crosby's value proposition doesn't depend on the quarter's mood. That's the structural case for buying here, and it's also why the semis keep clearing over asking.
Insider Tip
Two patterns from the data. First, Crosby ran a 100% blended sale-to-list in Q4 2025 and 99% in Q1 2026, the steadiest near-ask pricing of any value neighbourhood in the city, so don't mistake affordability for softness here. Second, the 104-day condo DOM means any condo listing you see has likely been sitting; ask for the listing history and price your offer to the time on market, not the asking number. Check the current picture with the Team Zold team before you write.
Similar Neighbourhoods to Consider
If Crosby is on your shortlist, three other pockets are worth a look:
Harding, directly adjacent, is the closest comparison and ran an $851,125 average across 16 sales in Q1 2026, with its own split between detached around $1,141,000 and condos around $607,000. The two neighbourhoods shop as a pair; the right answer is usually the right street, not the right name.
North Richvale for buyers wanting the value story west of Yonge. North Richvale averaged $1,099,246 in Q1 on 28 sales, with a mixed housing stock and the TNT Supermarket anchor on the Yonge corridor.
Langstaff for the condo-first buyer. Langstaff's $610,000 median and deep condo inventory make it the volume alternative to Crosby's thin condo segment, with the subway corridor as the long-term kicker.
Crosby — Where the Market Goes From Here
Crosby's semis will stay tight, because nothing about their supply picture is changing; there are only so many freehold semis in Richmond Hill and no one is building more of them. The detached side should firm up if spring demand arrives the way it has elsewhere in York Region, which makes this quarter's 22% absorption the buyer's window worth acting on. And the condo corner will stay negotiable until its aged inventory clears. If you're deciding between the Crosby and Harding versions of the same budget, reach out, and we'll walk the streets and match the segment to your situation.
