Markham August 2026 Market Update

Markham August 2026 Market Update

Posted Sep 17th, 2026

The sales-to-new-listings ratio hit 40.3% this month—marking the first time any municipality in York Region has touched that 40% threshold in over two years. Total sales jumped 17.5% compared to last August while new listings dropped 8%, pulling active inventory below 1,100 homes for the first time since the spring of 2023. We saw the average price land at $1,208,692, up 6.4% year over year, while the median barely budged. There's a very specific reason why those two numbers diverged, and it...

Newmarket August 2026 Market Update

Newmarket August 2026 Market Update

Posted Sep 15th, 2026

Newmarket had a quietly strong August. The average sale price hit $1,048,321, which is up 5.3% from last year and marks the second consecutive month above the million-dollar line.

Richmond Hill August 2026 Market Update

Under normal conditions, a drop in supply that steep would start pushing the market back toward sellers. But right now, it hasn't. Our Sales-to-New-Listings Ratio (SNLR) sat at 33.1%, keeping Richmond Hill firmly in buyer's market territory—well below the 40% threshold that signals a balanced market. On top of that, Months of Inventory (MOI) stayed locked at 5.6 months for the ...

Aurora August 2026 Market Update

Aurora August 2026 Market Update

Posted Sep 13th, 2026

If you look only at the top-line numbers, Aurora's August data looks severe. The average sale price fell 18.7% year over year, the sharpest drop in York Region. But Aurora is a market built on a smaller monthly sample, and when volume sits around 50 transactions, a shift in product mix can easily swing the averages by six figures in either direction. The headline tells one story; the actual mechanics of the market tell another.
