What Sold Last Month in Your Midtown Toronto Area? (August 2025)
Each month I sit down with the sales numbers for our Midtown neighbourhoods. But I don’t see just numbers — I see real families making big moves, and the streets we all walk every day. August was busy in some spots, slower in others. But across the board, there are some clear stories worth sharing.
Key Takeaways
1. Detached Homes Softened
Prices dropped in Lawrence Park South (-13%), Mount Pleasant West (-27%), and Yonge & St. Clair (-22%). Buyers are being careful. Sellers need the right price and strong presentation.
2. Semis Are the Hot Market
At Yonge & Eglinton, semis jumped 34% to $1.45M. Mount Pleasant East semis rose 9% to $1.49M. Families love semis because they give space at a lower cost than detached homes.
3. Two Very Different Condo Stories
Mount Pleasant West condos averaged $561K — mostly small, investor units. In The Annex, condos averaged $1.85M, and in Rosedale/Moore Park they averaged $1.49M. Downsizers are paying premiums for luxury condo living.
4. Luxury Is Steady
Forest Hill South stayed strong at $5.5M. Rosedale/Moore Park jumped 19% to $4.42M. Annex detached homes rose 35% to $4.1M. High-end buyers are still confident.
5. Bedford Park & Leaside Momentum
Bedford Park had 10 detached sales averaging $3M (up 18%). Leaside detached rose 19% to $3.04M. Families are clearly moving here before the school year.
6. Selective Bidding Wars
Half of the sales in Lawrence Park North and Mount Pleasant East went over asking. But in Leaside and Bedford Park, homes sold close to asking with no bidding wars. Buyers compete only for the best-prepared listings.
Neighbourhood by Neighbourhood
Lawrence Park South
Four detached homes sold, averaging $2.49M, down 13%. Only one condo sold, but at $2.09M, much higher than July. Detached sellers had to cut back to meet the market, but the condo sale shows how rare, boutique units can grab premium prices.
Lawrence Park North
Detached homes averaged $2.1M, down 9%. Two semis sold for $1.42M each, down just 4%. Half of all homes sold over asking. Even when prices dip, well-kept homes here attract competition.
Yonge & Eglinton
Detached homes sold for $1.88M on average, down 10%. But semis surged, up 34% to $1.45M. Condos also gained, averaging $707K (up 30%). Semis here are the clear winner — families love the location, schools, and transit.
Mount Pleasant East
Two detached homes averaged $1.79M, down 8%. Five semis sold for $1.49M, up 9%. One condo sold for $750K, up 39%. This neighbourhood is steady, with semis leading the way.
Mount Pleasant West
Detached homes fell hard, averaging $2.03M, down 27%. Condos made up most of the activity: 23 units sold at an average of $561K, down 15%. First-time buyers and investors still see this as an entry point.
Leaside
Detached homes averaged $3.04M, up 19% on two sales. One townhouse sold for $1.08M, and three condos averaged $548K. Buyers here are paying for schools and family life, even with no above-asking results.
Bedford Park / Nortown
This was the busiest pocket. Ten detached homes sold, averaging $2.96M, up 18%. Two condos sold for an average of $1.78M. Families are choosing to commit here, even in August.
Forest Hill North & South
Forest Hill North: three detached homes averaged $2.37M, down 4%.
Forest Hill South: five detached homes averaged $5.51M, only down 2%. Three condos sold for $1.32M, up 8%. Luxury buyers here are steady and focused on quality.
Yonge & St. Clair
One detached home sold at $2.55M, down 22%. Three semis sold for $2.89M, down 26%. Condos told a different story — three sales averaged $1.32M, up 23%. The condo market here is healthy, thanks to lifestyle and walkability.
Rosedale / Moore Park
Six detached homes sold, averaging $4.42M, up 19%. Four condos averaged $1.49M, up 83%. This area continues to shine, with buyers paying premiums for space and exclusivity.
The Annex
Two detached homes averaged $4.1M, up 35%. Three semis averaged $1.61M, down 25%. Two townhomes averaged $1.15M, down 42%. But the big story was condos: 12 units sold at an average of $1.85M, up 34%. Luxury condo living is in high demand here, especially with downsizers.
What It All Means
For Buyers: There are deals in detached homes in some neighbourhoods, but semis are heating up fast. Condos are split — affordable entry points in some spots, luxury premiums in others.
For Sellers: The right price and strong presentation matter more than ever. Buyers will compete for the best-prepared listings, but ignore homes that feel overpriced.
For Investors: Entry-level condos in Mount Pleasant West are still affordable, while luxury condos in Annex and Rosedale are commanding big numbers.
Final Word
August reminded me once again: Midtown is not one market. It’s a set of micro-markets. Detached homes softened, semis surged, and condos told two very different stories depending on where you looked.
Families are still moving, still upgrading, still choosing Midtown as the place to build their lives. And if you’re thinking about buying or selling, the key is understanding where your home fits into these micro-markets.
If you’d like to talk through what this means for your home, let’s grab a coffee. Sometimes a quick conversation is all it takes to make sense of the numbers.
