Home prices in York Region vary significantly depending on the town and property type.

• Condos typically start in the $500,000s

• Townhomes often range from the $700,000s to $1.1M

• Detached homes can range from $900,000 to $2M+ depending on location

Markets like Aurora, Newmarket, and Richmond Hill tend to command higher prices due to proximity to Toronto and strong schools. Smaller communities like Stouffville and Mount Albert can offer more space for the price.

For current pricing, it’s best to review active listings and recent sold data, as the market changes monthly.
