Selling a Condo at Yonge & St Clair: Your Questions Answered

A two-bedroom sold for an average of $1,183,966 in the twelve months to October 27, 2026, up 2.2% on the year before, on 58 sales, at about $981 a square foot. A one-bedroom averaged $574,643, up 6.4%, on 14 sales, at about $854 a square foot (TRREB MLS® data via PropTx, within The Seymour Team's Yonge & St Clair boundary, twelve months to October 27, 2026). Those are better numbers than Yonge and Eglinton posted over the same year, and I think the reason is what's here: bigger suites in older buildings, which is what downsizers are shopping for. But a 1960s two-bedroom on St Clair West and a new suite over the station are not the same thing at the same price per foot, and your building, floor and exposure decide where in that range you land.

Yes, steadily, not fast. 90 sold in the twelve months to October 27, 2026, and 35 were for sale at the end of it, which is between four and five months of supply, a balanced market. Two-bedrooms took 44 days on average and sold at 97.6% of asking; one-bedrooms took 30 days and sold at 96.3% (TRREB MLS® data via PropTx, within The Seymour Team's Yonge & St Clair boundary). So plan on six weeks, not six days, and plan on a negotiation. The suites that go in two weeks are the ones priced for the building they're in, and that's where we'll start.

You can, but there are so few that I won't quote you an average: 17 houses sold inside our Yonge & St Clair boundary in the twelve months to October 27, 2026, 8 detached and 5 semis, below the ten sales I need before I'll print a figure (TRREB MLS® data via PropTx). The house streets a block or two back have their own pages and their own numbers. Summerhill, to the south, averaged $2,811,998 on 51 sales in the twelve months to October 15, 2026, down 3.9% on the year; Moore Park, to the east, averaged $3,251,707 on 37 sales, down 1.8% (TRREB MLS data within The Seymour Team's Summerhill and Moore Park boundaries). If your house is on Lawton or Kilbarry, in Deer Park, call me and I'll pull your street.

Not by itself. On the west side of Yonge, 44.8% of homes were built in 1960 or before (2021 Census, City of Toronto Neighbourhood Profiles), so an older building is the norm here, not the exception, and older buildings usually have the larger suites that downsizers want. What hurts a sale is an older building with a thin reserve fund, a special assessment coming, or a status certificate that reads badly. What helps is one that has done its windows, elevators and garage membrane and can show it. The buyer's lawyer will read the status certificate either way, so it's worth our reading it first, together, and knowing what's in it.

The status certificate, every time, and then four things in quick order:

• The monthly fee, and what it covers. In some older buildings here it includes heat, hydro and water, which changes the arithmetic for a buyer comparing you with a new tower.
• The reserve fund study and the last year of board minutes, for any work planned or assessment coming.
• Parking and locker: owned or exclusive use, and how many. Street parking near the corner is tight, so a suite with a spot sells to a wider pool.
• What's approved next door. See the next question.

Order the status certificate the week we agree to list; the Condominium Act caps the corporation's charge at $100 and gives them ten days (Condominium Act, 1998, O. Reg. 48/01). Having it on the table at the first showing takes a week out of the buyer's conditions.

They might affect the view, and I won't pretend to know what that does to your price, but I can tell you where they're allowed. The City's Yonge-St. Clair Secondary Plan (November 2023 consolidation) allows towers of up to 150 metres at 1-15 Delisle Avenue and 1496-1510 Yonge Street, and 149.9 metres at 1406-1428 Yonge, plus a 70-metre seniors' residence at 1365-1375 Yonge. Approval isn't construction, and a plan can sit for years. What I do is find out what's approved around your building before we list, and say it in the listing before the buyer's agent raises it. A seller who tells the buyer about the tower usually keeps the buyer; a surprise in the conditional period is much harder on everyone.

Against the stack, not against the street. I pull every sale of your floor plan in the building for the last two years, lower floors and higher, what each sold for, when, and how long it took, and then the units for sale now and what they've been asking. That puts your suite on a line. Then we decide where on the line you sit: better floor, better exposure, renovated kitchen, a parking spot the others don't have. I understand the pull to price a little above the line, and I'll always hear you out, but the buyers for a two-bedroom at St Clair have 35 suites to walk through and they know the line too. A suite priced above it tends to spend months on the market and sell for less in the end, and I'd like to spare you that.

Yes, and in a downsizer's building the staging is mostly subtraction. A suite that has held a household for twenty-five years shows smaller than it is, and I know how much of a life is in it. Half the furniture into storage for a few weeks, the closets emptied to a third, the family photographs put safely away, the walls painted one light colour, the window coverings opened. If the suite is empty, a few pieces so a buyer can see where the bed and the sofa go. We bring in our stager and I'll tell you honestly whether the kitchen needs anything beyond hardware and a clean. It rarely does. What sells here is light and space, and we can make more of both without a renovation.

Usually sell the house first, with a closing long enough to find the suite, because your house will go faster than the suite will. Moore Park houses took an average of 16 days to sell in the twelve months to October 15, 2026, and Summerhill's 24 (TRREB MLS data within The Seymour Team's Moore Park and Summerhill boundaries). Condos at St Clair had 35 for sale at the end of October 2026 (TRREB MLS® data via PropTx, within The Seymour Team's Yonge & St Clair boundary), so you'll have choice. A ninety-day closing on the house gives you two months to pick a suite and move once. If the right suite comes up first, we talk about a conditional offer or a bridge; it can be done, but it's the harder order. I've walked a lot of clients through this exact move, from a house on Inglewood or Rose Park to a suite you can see it from.

The commission plus HST, your lawyer, the status certificate, any mortgage penalty, the staging and the move. The commission is a percentage of the sale price, agreed in the listing agreement, and part of it goes to the buyer's brokerage; I go through our fee and what it covers when we meet. Sellers pay no land transfer tax. If the suite has been your principal residence for every year you owned it, the gain is exempt from capital gains tax, though you report the sale on Schedule 3 and designate it on Form T1255 (Canada Revenue Agency, "Principal residence and other real estate", modified February 5, 2026). If it was an investment unit, it's worth a conversation with your accountant before you list.

Someone who has sold in the older buildings here and knows how to read a status certificate, who prices against the building and not the postal code, and who has reviews you can check. I'll let you judge whether that's me. Top 1% of Toronto Realtors (realty sales statistics, 2026); top 1% nationally of Royal LePage REALTORS® with the Chairman's Club Award in 2023; 4.9 stars from 58 Google reviews as of October 27, 2026, the written ones at SeymourReviews.com. Ask whoever you interview for their last three condo sales in midtown with asking, sale price and days, and ask what the status certificate said. Anyone who sells condos regularly will have the answer to hand.

We get the paperwork ahead of the buyer and the suite ahead of the competition. The status certificate ordered first. The stack of comparable sales in your building. Staging, mostly by taking things out. Photographs at the suite's best hour and a floor plan with measurements. The listing on the MLS® System and realtor.ca, on our site beside the Yonge & St Clair page, and in advertising on YouTube, Google and Facebook aimed at midtown buyers and the downsizers who are already looking here. Showings run by us, a written report every week, and when the offer comes, the conditions read with you and the buyer's financing checked. If the move is house to condo, we sell both ends and line up the closings.

Book a consultation and I'll come to the suite. Bring your fee statement, the last status certificate if you kept it, and the parking and locker details. You get a written valuation with the sales in your building it rests on, what to do before you list, and a plain account of our fee. No obligation and no newsletter. If you're a year away from moving, it still tells you what to do with the suite in the meantime.
