The Toronto housing market continued to rebound in September, with prices rising the most in 21 months, bringing the cost of a typical home close to the record high set in 2017. The average price of a home in Toronto rose 5.8 per cent to $843,115, the highest price this year, though well below the peak of almost $921,000 set in April 2017.
