What the numbers mean

  • Owners valued the median home at $1.50M in the 2021 census. Indexed to September 2026 prices with the Greater Toronto MLS® Home Price Index (-11% since then), that is about $1.34M, 67% above the Toronto median of $803K. It is an estimate: the index tracks the whole region, not this neighbourhood.
  • 38% of households rent, below the 48% city-wide.
  • Only 10% of residents are under 15, versus 14% city-wide.
  • 45% of homes are single-detached houses, versus 23% city-wide.
  • Tenants here paid a median of $1,740 a month in shelter costs (rent plus utilities and fees) in the 2021 census, 20% above the $1,450 median across Toronto's 158 neighbourhoods. That figure covers all tenants, including long-term ones, so a new lease will cost more.

Upfront closing costs1

Toronto buyers pay land transfer tax twice, once to Ontario and once to the City, so the bill is about double Ontario's alone. Government fees at the median home price: This uses the census home value indexed to September 2026 prices, so treat it as an estimate.

How it's changing

Toronto doesn't publish building permits by neighbourhood, so we can't chart construction here yet.

First-time buyer refunds (up to $4,000 provincial and $4,475 municipal) are not deducted. Toronto adds higher rates on the part of a price above $3 million from April 1, 2026. Legal fees, title insurance, inspection and adjustments are extra. ↩
  2. Source: City of Toronto Neighbourhood Profiles, 2021 Census (158-neighbourhood model). Income is median total household income in 2020 (before tax). The share spending 30% or more of income on shelter combines owner and tenant households; 30% is the standard affordability line. Shelter costs for owners include mortgage payments, property tax and utilities; for tenants, rent and utilities. 2021 Census, a 25% sample, so small neighbourhoods carry some error. ↩
  3. Source: CMHC Rental Market Survey, Housing Market Information Portal. These are zone averages across all units in apartment buildings of three or more units, not a figure for Newtonbrook East alone, and they are not asking rents. Houses, basement suites and condos rented out by owners are not included. Zones are large, so neighbouring communities can share one figure. ↩
