Dufferin Grove, Toronto - September 2026 Real Estate Report

Dufferin Grove Real Estate: What Your Neighbours Aren't Telling You

If you own a home on these streets, there is a decent chance your city assessment is lying to you - in either direction. Here is what the numbers actually look like right now.

The Vibe: Two Very Different Stories on the Same Block

Dufferin Grove is not one market right now. It is two. And which side of that line you are on matters a lot if you are thinking about making a move this summer.

For houses, things are steady. The HonestDoor Price for a house here sits at $1,598,221, up a modest 0.26% from the previous period. That is not a rocket ship, but it is not a slide either. The predicted market value for houses is $1,594,150, and that number is trending upward against the 3-month moving average of $1,576,966. In a city where a lot of neighbourhoods are treading water, that upward tick matters.

Condos are a different conversation. The average HonestDoor Price for a condo here is $829,868 - and yes, that headline number is up 15.34% from the previous period. But dig one layer deeper and the predicted market value is $719,471, which is actually sliding against the 3-month moving average of $739,054. Property values on the condo side have shifted by -6.59% recently. That gap between the HonestDoor Price and the predicted value is worth paying attention to.

• House HonestDoor Price: $1,598,221 (up 0.26%)
• House predicted market value: $1,594,150 (trending up vs. 3-month average)
• House average sale price: $2,375,000
• Houses sold at 95.80% of list price - buyers are negotiating
• Average days on market for houses: 14 days
• Condo HonestDoor Price: $829,868 (up 15.34%)
• Condo predicted market value: $719,471 (trending down vs. 3-month average)
• Condo recent value change: -6.59%

How We Stack Up: The Neighbourhood Leaderboard

Here is where Dufferin Grove gets interesting. On the house side, we rank 14 out of 42 neighbourhoods in Toronto for growth. That puts us in above-average territory - not leading the pack, but solidly ahead of most. For price, we rank 5 out of 11 comparable neighbourhoods. Above average there too.

The condo side tells a humbler story. We rank 32 out of 44 neighbourhoods for condo growth. That is below average, and it is the kind of number that should make a condo owner here pay close attention to their actual current value rather than assuming the market is carrying them forward.

For context, our closest neighbours are priced like this right now:

• Roncesvalles houses: $1,736,403 HonestDoor Price - a step up from us
• Little Portugal houses: $1,700,130 HonestDoor Price - also slightly ahead
• Dovercourt Wallace Emerson Junction houses: $1,047,500 HonestDoor Price - noticeably cheaper
• Roncesvalles condos: $1,003,507 HonestDoor Price
• Little Portugal condos: $830,043 HonestDoor Price - nearly identical to us
• Dovercourt condos: $684,113 HonestDoor Price - cheaper

The Secret Sauce: Why Your HonestDoor Price Matters More Than Your Tax Assessment Right Now

Your city assessment was likely calculated using data that is already old. It does not know what happened on your street last month. It does not factor in the current shift between houses trending up and condos taking a breather. It is a snapshot from the past being used to represent your present.

The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. For house owners here, it is showing a value of $1,598,221 that is moving in the right direction. For condo owners, it is flagging something the city assessment will not - that the predicted value of $719,471 is currently running below the 3-month trend. That is not a panic signal, but it is information you need before you make any decisions.

If your tax assessment says one thing and the HonestDoor Price says another, the HonestDoor Price is almost certainly closer to what a buyer would actually put on paper today.

The "So What?" - Thinking About Selling This Summer?

For house owners, the setup is reasonable. Homes here are selling at 95.80% of list price, which means buyers are not just accepting whatever number gets slapped on the sign - but they are not walking away either. With only 1 sale recorded in the recent period and an average of 14 days on market, inventory is tight. Tight inventory with steady prices is a decent environment to list into, as long as you price it right from day one.

The rental angle is worth knowing too. Houses here are pulling an estimated $5,765 per month in rent with a yield of 4.08%. That is a number that attracts investor buyers, which adds another layer of demand to your potential pool.

For condo owners, be honest with yourself before you list. The HonestDoor Price headline looks strong, but the predicted value is drifting down and the growth rank of 32 out of 44 means other neighbourhoods are outrunning us right now. That does not mean do not sell - it means price it based on where the market is heading, not where you wish it was. Check your HonestDoor Price before you have a single conversation with an agent.

Bottom line: houses in Dufferin Grove are in a stable spot with room to work with. Condos need a sharper eye on current data. Either way, the worst thing you can do right now is rely on a number that was set before this year's market shifts showed up.
