Chaplin Estates Home Sales Statistics for July 2026 by Top Midtown Toronto Agent Jethro Seymour
Chaplin Estates in July 2026:
Prices Are Holding — Buyers Aren't Rushing
By Jethro Seymour | The Seymour Team Just 2 homes sold in Chaplin Estates in July — both detached, both under asking, both taking roughly 100 days to close. That's not a one-month blip: the 12-month rolling sales count has been falling steadily all year, down 37% from a year ago. And yet the rolling and YTD average prices are both up double digits. Those two facts aren't contradictory, but they do need to be read together, not separately — which is what the numbers below are for. Missed the June recap?

A Structural Decline, Not a Bad Month
The rolling sales count hasn't dropped suddenly — it's been sliding all year: 54 a year ago, down to 39 by February, 34 by June, still 34 by July. That's a 37% year-over-year decline, and it's been building for months, not one quiet stretch. What's notable is that price hasn't followed volume down. The rolling average moved from $2,483,946 a year ago to $2,688,903 now. But treat that as price resilience amid declining liquidity, not appreciation — with this few transactions, the average is highly sensitive to which specific homes happen to trade in a given window, not a read on the whole neighbourhood.One figure is worth sitting with rather than smoothing over: rolling detached DOM has improved (23 → 17 days, -26% year-over-year), but the year-to-date figure has gone the opposite direction (23 → 27 days, +17.4%) — and July's own two sales took 99 and 102 days. A 17-day rolling figure shouldn't suggest Chaplin is fast-moving right now — the most recent transactions say otherwise. With only 19 sales year-to-date, the aggregates are being shaped by the timing and mix of a small number of homes, not a consistent pace.
Two Sales, Neither at Asking
Both of July's sales were detached, and both closed under list — a first this year for Chaplin Estates, where 2 of 3 sales went at or above asking as recently as June. Average days on market jumped to 101, up from 8 in June and up 274% from July 2025. With a sample of 2, treat the monthly figures as noisy rather than decisive — but they're consistent with the slower pace showing up in the rolling and YTD numbers too.- Homes sold: 2 (both detached)
- Active listings as of August 1st: 9
- New listings in July: 1
- Listings sitting 30+ days: 8
- Homes sold at or above asking: 0 of 2 (0%)
- Entry price — Detached: $1.9M
July's Two Sales: Consistent, Not Contradictory
Different price points, same underlying pattern. Here's how each one actually played out.- Property type: Detached, 3-Storey — Forest Hill South, within the Chaplin Estates/C03 district
- Lot size: 73 × 105 ft
- Bedrooms / bathrooms: 4+1 bed / 5 bath
- Built: 1931 — extensively renovated with high-end finishes throughout
- Days on market: 99
- Final sale price: $3,250,000 (list: $3,499,900)
- Sold for: 93% of list price
- Property type: Detached, 2½-Storey — prime Chaplin Estates, Yonge-Eglinton
- Lot size: 32 × 100 ft
- Bedrooms / bathrooms: 4+2 bed / 3 bath
- Built: 1927 — original condition, renovation potential
- Days on market: 102
- Final sale price: $1,975,000 (list: $1,999,900)
- Sold for: 99% of list price
One home needed a discount, the other nearly hit its number — but both took roughly 100 days regardless. That's not about what buyers are willing to pay. It's about how long they're willing to take to commit.
Jethro Seymour | The Seymour TeamLimited Inventory, Very Slow Turnover
Chaplin Estates isn't oversupplied — only 9 homes are active as of August 1st, and just 1 came fresh to market in July. The issue isn't too many listings; it's that the ones already out there aren't clearing. 8 of the 9 have been sitting for more than 30 days. Entry Point: $2,395,000 The lowest-priced active listing is a 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom detached on Oriole Pkwy, already at 63 days on market — a long runway for buyers looking to negotiate their way into Chaplin Estates. Top of Market: $4,499,000 The highest-priced active listing is a 3-bedroom, 5-bathroom detached on Tarlton Rd — the same listing that topped June's report at 42 days, now at 80 days without a buyer. Active inventory spans $2,395,000 to $4,499,000. Entry into Chaplin Estates for detached homes holds at approximately $1.9M, unchanged from June.Advice for Buyers & Sellers
For Buyers Don't let the rolling and YTD price averages suggest you need to stretch — they're a mix effect from a handful of transactions, not proof the whole neighbourhood is appreciating. What the actual sales show is real leverage: neither of July's two homes sold at asking, both took over three months, and 8 of the 9 active listings have already been sitting a month or more. Patience is being rewarded right now. For Sellers The data doesn't say prices are falling — but it doesn't support pricing to the headline average and expecting a quick close, either. Both of July's sales needed roughly 100 days to find their buyer, and Duncannon Dr needed a discount despite an extensive high-end renovation. Buyers are still willing to pay Chaplin prices — just on their own timeline, not the seller's.Key Takeaways — July 2026
