East Gwillimbury Real Estate Market — Key Takeaways
East Gwillimbury recorded 29 resale transactions in February 2026, representing $34.7M in total dollar volume. The headline number is trajectory: SNLR improved from 25% (January) to 39% (February), sales jumped 38% MoM, and MOI tightened from 7.33 to 5.31. Mt. Albert posted a 70% SNLR — seller’s market territory. Queensville hit 100% SP/LP at a 19-day average DOM. Row townhouses posted 103% SP/LP on a 14-day average DOM. The market is still buyer-leaning overall, but February’s data is materially better than January’s on every key metric.
- ↑Momentum: Sales +38% MoM (21→29), SNLR +14 points (25%→39%), MOI tightened from 7.33 to 5.31. February is substantially better than January on all key metrics.
- ▼YoY context: Median $1,130,000 vs. $1,185,500 in Feb 2025 (−4.7% YoY). Sales down 31% (42→29). MOI nearly doubled from 3.37 to 5.31. Still a buyer’s market vs. last year’s balanced conditions.
- !Standouts: Mt. Albert SNLR 70% (seller-leaning). Queensville 100% SP/LP, 19-day avg DOM. Row townhouses 103% SP/LP, 14-day avg DOM. 10.3% of sales closed above asking.
- ▼Pressure points: Rural EG SNLR 9% (1 sale, 11 listings). Sharon 62-day avg DOM, 95% SP/LP. Active listings avg DOM 44 days — stale inventory is a persistent drag.
February Summary: East Gwillimbury’s February 2026 data tells a recovery story. Every key metric improved MoM: sales +38%, SNLR +14 points, MOI tightened by 2 months. The market is still in buyer’s territory at 39% SNLR and 5.31 MOI, but the direction is unambiguous. Mt. Albert’s 70% SNLR, Queensville’s 100% SP/LP, and row townhouses’ 103% SP/LP confirm that correctly priced product is meeting competitive demand. The wide gap between avg DOM (47) and median DOM (29) tells you stale overpriced listings are accumulating days while new, correctly priced listings are moving quickly. East Gwillimbury’s GO transit buildout (Bradford GO extension) and Green Lane growth corridor remain structural demand supports heading into spring 2026.

East Gwillimbury Market Conditions — February 2026
At 39% SNLR and 5.31 months of inventory, East Gwillimbury sits just below the balanced market threshold (40% SNLR). February’s near-balanced reading — the closest the market has been to equilibrium since 2024 — is significantly better than January’s deep buyer’s market (25% SNLR, 7.33 MOI). The detached segment at 40% SNLR is technically at the cusp of balanced; row townhouses at 103% SP/LP are ahead of that. Mt. Albert’s 70% SNLR is this municipality’s most interesting outlier.
SNLR < 40% (typically)
40%–60%
SNLR > 60%
What this means: East Gwillimbury at 39% SNLR is one point below the balanced threshold — practically speaking, buyers in the detached segment have modest leverage (96% SP/LP, 50-day avg DOM) while sellers of correctly-priced product are achieving near-full ask. The 47-day average DOM vs. 29-day median DOM gap is the key signal: stale, overpriced listings are accumulating while properly priced homes sell in about a month. Row townhouses at 103% SP/LP and 14-day DOM are the clearest demand signal in the municipality. Mt. Albert’s 70% SNLR (seller-leaning) is the most buyer-side risk for buyers targeting that community — arrive prepared to compete.
For Buyers: East Gwillimbury in February 2026 is near-balanced, not a deep buyer’s market — adjust expectations accordingly. On detached homes (SNLR 40%, 96% SP/LP, 50-day avg DOM), you have modest but real negotiating room: expect 3–5% below ask with conditions. Sharon’s 95% SP/LP and 62-day avg DOM give buyers the most room in the premium tier. Holland Landing at 96% SP/LP is similarly negotiable. Avoid underestimating Mt. Albert (SNLR 70%) and Queensville (100% SP/LP, 19-day DOM) — these communities are moving competitively. Row townhouses are the most competitive product: 103% SP/LP means you need to be at or above ask with a strong offer. Arrive pre-approved and be ready to move quickly on properly-priced townhomes.
For Sellers: East Gwillimbury’s near-balanced conditions are the best seller signal since mid-2024. The 47-day avg DOM vs. 29-day median tells the whole story: homes priced accurately to current market sell in about a month; overpriced listings sit for 60–90 days and damage net proceeds through price reductions. The February data confirms: Queensville sellers at 100% SP/LP and Mt. Albert sellers at 97% SP/LP — both achieved near or full ask. Sharon’s 95% SP/LP at 62-day avg DOM is the cautionary data point — sellers in the $1.5M+ range need to be closest to buyer expectations. Spring 2026 should improve conditions further if trade uncertainty eases. List now to capture the best spring momentum.
For Investors: East Gwillimbury’s investment thesis is straightforward: GO transit expansion (Bradford GO Line extension, Green Lane Corridor), ongoing population growth from the 400-series highway network, and some of York Region’s most recent subdivision stock with modern build quality. Row townhouses at 103% SP/LP are the clearest demand signal — and as rental properties, they offer the best combination of entry price, tenant demand (young families), and resale liquidity. The $1,235,000 detached median at 40% SNLR represents value relative to peak; a 7–10 year horizon captures the GO extension premium as it materializes. The Green Lane growth node near Sharon/Highway 404 is a long-term land value driver worth monitoring for pre-construction opportunities.
East Gwillimbury Median Home Price — 13-Month Trend
East Gwillimbury has two confirmed TRREB data points in this window: $1,185,500 (February 2025) and $1,130,000 (February 2026) — a confirmed YoY decline of $55,500 or −4.7%. January 2026’s $912,000 median is also confirmed from TRREB — a notably low reading that likely reflects product mix (fewer luxury sales that month) rather than pure price decline. Prior months from March–December 2025 are estimated from York Region directional trends.
Trend Note: The January 2026 median of $912,000 warrants interpretation. With only 21 sales that month, a shift in product mix toward lower-priced properties (fewer luxury sales, more entry-level detached or townhomes) likely accounts for much of the apparent drop from prior months. February’s rebound to $1,130,000 — with 29 sales including 7 in Sharon at a $1,525,000 median — is consistent with mix normalization rather than pure price appreciation. The confirmed YoY decline of 4.7% is the most reliable trend signal: modest correction compared to higher-volume York Region municipalities. With only 29 monthly sales, East Gwillimbury’s median is inherently more volatile than Markham or Vaughan — treat month-to-month movement as directional.
East Gwillimbury Home Prices by Property Type — February 2026
Detached homes dominated with 26 of 29 sales (89.7%) — East Gwillimbury is overwhelmingly a detached market. Row townhouses (n=2) posted the month’s most compelling signal: 103% SP/LP and 14-day avg DOM. Semi-detached had 1 sale. No condo apartment or condo townhouse sales were recorded. The market is essentially a detached-only dataset with row townhouse demand as the standout.
February 2026 — Property Type Breakdown
East Gwillimbury is one of York Region’s most detached-dominant municipalities — no condo sales recorded in February 2026. The detached segment’s avg/median alignment ($1,233,799 avg vs. $1,235,000 median) is unusually tight, suggesting a relatively consistent detached product mix this month without significant luxury or entry-level outliers distorting the distribution. Row townhouse (n=2) and semi (n=1) are directional only.
| Property Type | Sales | Avg Price | Median Price | Avg DOM | Med DOM | SP/LP | SNLR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 26 | $1,233,799 | $1,235,000 | 50 | 30 | 96% | 40% |
| Row Townhouse | 2 | $891,500 | $891,500 | 14 | 14 | 103% | 33% |
| Semi-Detached | 1 | $816,500 | $816,500 | 36 | 36 | 98% | 50%* |
*Semi-detached SNLR of 50% = 1 sale against 2 new listings — directional only (n=1). Row townhouse n=2 — treat as indicative of demand direction rather than a statistically robust sample.
Type Takeaway: The row townhouse signal (103% SP/LP, 14-day avg DOM) is striking even at n=2 — it suggests that East Gwillimbury townhomes are undersupplied relative to demand at current price points (~$891,500). If you’re a buyer targeting townhomes here, the data says arrive ready to compete above ask. The detached segment at 40% SNLR and 96% SP/LP sits at the boundary of balanced — buyers have modest room to negotiate on homes sitting beyond 30 days, but correctly priced new listings are closing near ask. East Gwillimbury’s near-absence of condo product is itself a market characteristic: buyers seeking high-density options should look at Bradford, Newmarket, or Barrie instead.
Sales by Price Range — February 2026
With 29 sales, the price distribution reflects East Gwillimbury’s detached-dominant character. The P25 price of $909,888 and P75 of $1,470,000 give a clear inter-quartile range — the middle 50% of sales occurred between approximately $910K and $1.47M. The P90 of $1,565,000 marks the luxury threshold.

Is Now a Good Time to Upgrade in East Gwillimbury?
The spread between row townhouses and detached homes is $343,500 median-to-median — a historically compressed gap in a municipality where almost all product is detached. With detached at 96% SP/LP and 50-day avg DOM, upgraders from a semi or townhome have real negotiating room on the buy side. The challenge: row townhouses at 103% SP/LP mean sellers capturing top dollar on the way out.
| Upgrade Path | Selling Price | Buying Price | Price Spread | Market Signal | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Row Town → Detached | ~$891,500 (med) | ~$1,235,000 (med) | $343,500 | ▼ Detached SNLR 40%; 96% SP/LP — negotiate | Near-Balanced |
| Semi → Detached | ~$816,500 (n=1) | ~$1,235,000 (med) | $418,500 | ▼ Detached buyer-leaning; 50-day avg DOM | Buyer’s |

Get Your Valuation →Factors Shaping the East Gwillimbury Market in 2026
East Gwillimbury is one of York Region’s fastest-growing municipalities, anchored by the Highway 404 corridor, the Green Lane development node, and GO transit expansion. Its market is shaped by regional macro forces alongside local dynamics specific to its growth-area positioning and predominantly detached housing stock.
Fixed 5-year rates now sit in the 4.1%–4.4% range. On the $1,235,000 detached median with 20% down ($247,000), the remaining $988,000 mortgage requires qualifying at ~6.25% — approximately $196K household income. Rate relief from 2024–25 BoC cuts has expanded the qualifying pool for East Gwillimbury’s core $1.0M–$1.3M detached range. Each BoC cut adds meaningful buyers to East Gwillimbury’s entry-level detached segment, which sits near the $1M threshold where qualifying dynamics shift significantly.
The Bradford GO Line extension will add an East Gwillimbury GO station, dramatically improving transit connectivity to Toronto and the broader GTHA network. This is arguably the most significant long-term value driver for the municipality. Properties within a 15-minute drive of the planned East Gwillimbury GO station corridor carry a forward-looking premium that is not yet fully priced in at current corrected prices — representing a genuine long-term opportunity for buy-and-hold investors and owner-occupiers with a 7+ year horizon.
East Gwillimbury’s Official Plan designates the Green Lane and Leslie Street corridor (near Sharon) as the primary growth node — planned for significant new residential and commercial development. This area is already attracting new subdivision growth and will continue densifying over the 2025–2035 horizon. Sharon’s $1,525,000 median reflects proximity to this corridor’s infrastructure investment. The Green Lane node is the GTA’s most compelling transit-and-highway-access growth corridor outside of Vaughan Metropolitan Centre.
East Gwillimbury’s 29 monthly sales mean all metrics carry higher statistical variance than Markham (300+ sales) or Vaughan (187 sales). The January 2026 median of $912,000 vs. February’s $1,130,000 — a $218,000 swing — is almost certainly explained by product mix (fewer luxury Sharon/Mt. Albert sales in January) rather than genuine price movement. Compare rolling 3-month data where possible. Individual neighbourhood metrics (especially Mt. Albert n=7, Rural EG n=1) are directional indicators, not statistically robust benchmarks.
East Gwillimbury sits at a critical price point: the $1,235,000 detached median requires 20% down and qualifies at approximately $196K household income under the stress test. The P25 price of $909,888 — the entry quarter of the market — dips below $1M, making CMHC-insured financing available for some buyers in the lower price tier. The lender-switch exemption introduced in November 2024 helps existing East Gwillimbury homeowners navigate the 2026 renewal cycle without forced sales, reducing downside price pressure from distressed listings.
CUSMA uncertainty is suppressing buyer confidence across York Region. East Gwillimbury’s buyer pool — primarily move-up families from Newmarket, Aurora, and Bradford — is sensitive to employment stability in the manufacturing and logistics sectors concentrated along Highway 400 and 404. Trade resolution would accelerate the spring 2026 demand response in East Gwillimbury specifically, as the pent-up move-up cohort (buyers who have equity but are waiting on confidence) is the primary audience for the $1.1M–$1.4M detached range.
East Gwillimbury’s position at the top of the Highway 404 corridor — with access to both Highway 400 via Davis Drive and the 407 ETR interchange — provides employment connectivity to the broader GTHA without requiring downtown commutes. The corridor supports significant employment in logistics, manufacturing, and professional services. For buyers who work along the 404/407/400 corridor rather than downtown Toronto, East Gwillimbury offers family housing at a meaningful price discount to Newmarket and Aurora with equivalent or better highway access.
East Gwillimbury has active new construction in the Green Lane/Leslie Street growth area, with several major builders completing phases of master-planned detached and townhome communities. New construction completions add to the active inventory pool, competing with resale listings. Short-term: new build completions add supply competition for resale sellers in the $1.1M–$1.4M detached range. Long-term: construction has slowed significantly from 2022–23 pace; the pipeline will tighten by 2027–28, supporting resale price recovery in a market with constrained future supply.

East Gwillimbury Rental Market — 2026 Overview
East Gwillimbury’s rental market is thin — a primarily ownership-driven community with limited purpose-built rental stock. Most available rentals are investor-owned detached homes (often with basement suites) or newer townhomes in Queensville, Sharon, and Holland Landing subdivisions. Highway 404 access drives the strongest rental demand.
For Renters: East Gwillimbury’s rental inventory is small but has grown with newer subdivision completions in Queensville and Sharon over the past 3 years. Families seeking suburban space at below-Aurora/Newmarket price points will find EG’s rental market worth exploring — availability is better than more established 905 communities, and landlords are somewhat more negotiable on lease terms given limited competition. The planned GO station and Highway 404 access make EG’s rental market a sleeper for tenants who work along the 404 corridor.
For Landlords: East Gwillimbury’s rental market rewards patience over speed — the tenant pool is smaller than Newmarket or Aurora but stable. Row townhouses in Queensville and Holland Landing are the most liquid rental product, consistent with their 103% SP/LP in the resale market. The future Bradford GO Line station will be a significant rental demand catalyst when service begins — investors buying now capture that premium in both resale value and rental income before the market fully prices it in.
