Leaside Home Sales Statistics for March 2026 by Jethro Seymour Top Midtown Toronto Real Estate Agent

Leaside Market Report — March 2026 | The Seymour Team
Market Report — March 2026

Leaside in March 2026:
Softens on the Surface, Strong at the Top

March was a measured month in Leaside — 9 homes sold across 6 detached and 2 semi-detached, with 2 of 9 closing at or above asking price. Average prices eased year-over-year, though the figures reflect the mix of properties sold rather than broad market weakness. The top sale — a custom-built detached on Hanna Rd at 106% of list in just 4 days — is proof that the right home in Leaside still commands immediate competition. Missed the February recap?

Market Overview

Selective Buyers, Tight Inventory

March brought 9 sales to Leaside with 14 active listings as of April 1st — 9 of which are newly listed this month. At 1.6 months of inventory, Leaside remains a seller's market, though buyers are exercising more patience than a year ago.
  • Homes sold: 9
  • Months of inventory: 1.6
  • Active listings as of April 1st: 14
  • New listings this month: 9
  • Listings sitting 30+ days: 5
  • Homes sold at or above asking: 2 of 9 (22%)
With 9 fresh listings entering the market and only 5 stalled beyond 30 days, inventory is turning over more actively than February. Buyers have options — but the data shows they're still showing up for the right home at the right price.
Pricing Trends

Read the Numbers in Context

March's average sale price came in at $1,983,889 — down 19.2% year-over-year. That decline reflects the mix of properties sold, with lower-priced homes pulling the average down rather than a broad drop in Leaside values. The 12-month rolling average across 142 transactions tells the more complete story.
$1,983,889 March Monthly Average — All Homes  |  −19.2% year-over-year*
$2,115,000 Detached Average  |  −24.2% year-over-year*
$1,132,500 Semi-Detached Average  |  −27.5% year-over-year*
$2,159,318 Year-to-Date Average — All Home Types (22 sales)
$2,314,928 12-Month Rolling Average  |  142 Sales

*The YoY declines in March's monthly averages are largely a mix effect — with no high-end transactions closing this month, lower-priced homes dominate the sample. The 12-month rolling average of $2,314,928 across 142 sales remains the most reliable benchmark for where Leaside values truly stand. Entry into the market now requires buyers to budget at least $1.3M for semi-detached and $1.3M+ for detached.
Speed of Sale

Quality Moves, Overpriced Waits

Days on market rose sharply year-over-year — up 140% overall — but the story varies considerably by property type:
  • Overall average DOM: 36 days (up 140% YoY)
  • Detached average DOM: 37 days (up 105.6% YoY)
  • Semi-detached average DOM: 26 days (up 333.3% YoY)
The overall DOM average is being pulled up by slower-moving listings rather than a uniform trend. The top sale on Hanna Rd — a well-presented, correctly priced detached — sold in just 4 days. The market is not slow; it's selective. Homes that are priced and prepared properly are still finding buyers quickly.
Feature Sales

Softens on Average, Strong at the Top

March's two highest sales tell the nuanced story of this market — one a swift over-asking result, the other a long road to resolution.
Highest Sale: Hanna Rd
  • Property type: Detached
  • Lot size: 34 x 135 ft
  • Bedrooms / bathrooms: 4 bed / 6 bath
  • Built: 2012 (custom red brick)
  • Days on market: 4
  • Final sale price: $3,510,000
  • Sold for: 106% of list price
A custom-built classic red brick detached that drew immediate competition — selling 6% over asking in just 4 days. A clear reminder that the right home, priced right, still commands a premium in Leaside regardless of broader market conditions.
2nd Highest Sale: Evergreen Gdns
  • Property type: Townhouse
  • Lot size: 21 x 75 ft
  • Bedrooms / bathrooms: 4 bed / 4 bath
  • Days on market: 148 cumulative across 3 listings
  • Final sale price: $2,900,000
  • Sold for: 97% of list price
A solid final price — but 148 cumulative days across 3 separate listings is the cost of not finding the right price point from the start. The eventual outcome was good; the journey to get there was longer and more expensive than it needed to be.

The market hasn't changed the formula. Price it right from day one and Leaside buyers will show up. The data proves it every month.

What's Available Right Now

With 14 homes currently listed in Leaside as of April 1st, here's a snapshot of the range buyers are working with heading into spring. Entry Point: $1,499,000 The lowest-priced active listing is a semi-detached on Donegall Dr at 8 DOM — a relatively fresh listing at an accessible entry price for Leaside. Top of Market: $4,990,000 The highest-priced active listing is a detached on Leacrest Rd that has been listed 5 times since October 2025, originally asking $5,690,000. Now at $4,990,000 after 158 days on market, significant price discovery has already taken place. For a well-qualified buyer at the top end, the seller's journey tells its own story. The active inventory spans from $1,499,000 to $4,990,000 — reflecting the full range of Leaside's housing stock. Entry into the market now requires buyers to budget at least $1.3M for semi-detached and $1.3M+ for detached.
What This Means

Advice for Buyers & Sellers

For Buyers Leaside is offering more breathing room than it has in years — more selection, more realistic prices, and motivated sellers. That said, the top sale this month proves that the right home still draws immediate demand. Stay pre-approved, know your budget, and be ready to act when the right property comes along. For Sellers Hanna Rd vs. Evergreen Gdns is your lesson for spring. One sold in 4 days at 106% of asking. The other took 148 cumulative days across 3 listings. Same neighbourhood, same market, very different outcomes. Accurate pricing isn't a concession — it's the entire strategy. The sellers who will win this spring are the ones who start right.

For buyers, entry prices have pulled back and competition is measured. For sellers, accurate pricing is no longer optional — it's the entire strategy. Spring is here and the window to position correctly is now.
