🏡 Vaughan Real Estate at a Glance
Homes Sold: 146
Active Listings: 886
New Listings: 498
Average Price: $1,024,048
Median Price: $1,071,000
Average Days on Market: 49
Months of Inventory: 5.4
Sale-to-List Price Ratio: 96%
In simple terms, Vaughan is currently in a buyer-leaning market.
There are more homes available than buyers willing to purchase at today’s prices, which is slowing things down and shifting negotiating power.
🏡 What IS a Buyer’s Market?
The SNLR (Sales-to-New-Listings Ratio) and Months of Inventory tell the whole story.
SNLR at 31.6%, in simple terms, means:
- For every 10 homes listed only about 3 are selling
- The rest stay on the market, increasing competition
- Buyers have more choice and more negotiating room.
When the SNLR falls below 40%, the market is considered buyer-leaning. At 31.6%, Vaughan firmly sits in that range while sellers wait longer to sell their homes.
Months of Inventory at 5.4 months means
- supply is outweighing demand
- Longer selling timelines
- more price sensitivity
- greater importance on accurate pricing
The market data is buyer leaning however this is NOT a distressed market. It’s a selective market.
Well-priced homes are still selling while overpriced homes are sitting longer.

Detached homes, the most desirable home type by families, still dominate overall market activity in Vaughan,
- Entry-level detached homes are moving
- Higher-priced luxury homes are taking longer
- Pricing correctly is critical in this segment
🏡 Semi-Detached & Townhomes
These home types are usually in strong demand as first family homes or with people moving out of a condo apartment
- Semi-detached are popular with buyers who need space but feel priced out of detached homes
- Freehold towns, trading near $1M, provide lot of newer home options in Vaughan vs semi-detached
- Condo townhomes, usually smaller, are perfect for an nester home with less maintenance
🏢 Condo Apartments
This segment continues to be the slowest with:
- Highest inventory
- Longest days on market
- Largest price adjustments

What Homeowners and Sellers Need To Know
While overall high inventory and long sales time are working against you, you can STILL sell your home!
As a seller, you must make real market data based decisions:
- List price must reflect the current market pricing
- Invest în preparing the property BEFORE it hist the market
- Discuss all marketing details and pivot points with your realtor
- Prepare for longer sales, offer, and negotiation timelines
Homes are selling at about 96% of asking price that indicating while this as a selective market, it’s certainly not a distressed market.
If you’re a seller:
- Strategy matters lot more than timing
- Thorough planning will make the journey smoother
- Avoid all emotions and in-experienced feedback (will be tough, but you ARE strong!)
Vaughan remains a premium and stable market compared to the overall GTA market.
Prices are softening, not collapsing, and long-term fundamentals remain strong as long as rest of economic factors hold up.
