Is East Gwillimbury a Buyer's or Seller's Market? — September 2026
The cleanest single read on who holds the leverage is the share of new listings that sell. Under 40% is a buyer's market and over 60% is a seller's market. We show it three ways, because one month can swing: the latest month, the last three months and the last twelve.
Balance Meter
The needle shows the latest month, which can swing. The three- and 12-month reads are steadier.
Seven signals, Jul to Sep 2026 against the same months a year earlier.
Hotter means tighter for buyers; cooler means more room. A signal moves only when it changes by a set amount: 5% for sales and listings, 2% for price, 3 points for the ratios, 0.3 months for inventory.
32% of new listings sold over the last 12 months. The median since 2010 is 54%.
6.66 months on the three-month measure, against 7.29 a year earlier. How long the current stock of listings would last at the current pace of sales.
Every Month Since 2010 — Share of New Listings That Sold
Charcoal favours buyers, gold favours sellers, and the pale middle is balanced. Read across a row to see the season; read down a column to compare the same month over 17 years.
Best positioned right now: Buyers with financing in place, especially for detached homes, where 87% of sales closed below list and inventory is 7.26 months.
Most pressure: Sellers priced to last year's market. Over the last 12 months, 47 listings were pulled for every 100 that came to market, against a long-run norm of 27.

Is Now a Good Time to Upgrade in East Gwillimbury?
A move-up buyer sells and buys in the same market, so what matters is the gap between the two homes, not the level of prices. We track that gap every month back to 2010. Today a detached home costs 43.9% more than a row townhouse, against a long-run median of 53.7%, so the step up is narrower than usual. In dollars it is $359,802, down from $549,279 at its widest in November 2022. Review the full buyer's guide for York Region before making your move.
| Upgrade Path | Selling (12-Mo Avg) | Buying (12-Mo Avg) | Step Up | Premium | Typical Since 2010 | Read |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Row townhouse → Detached | $819,473 | $1,179,276 | $359,802 | +43.9% | +53.7% | Narrower than usual |

East Gwillimbury's five communities differ in price point, housing stock and pace. For adjacent markets, see Newmarket, Georgina and Bradford West Gwillimbury. A community sees only a handful of sales in any one month, so the figures below cover the full 12 months to September 2026, which is the shortest window that gives a reliable read.
Supply Pressure by Community — 12 Months to September 2026
| Community | Sales | Average Price | vs Year Ago | Listings Sold | Below List | Active | Months Inv. | Condition |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Holland Landing | 139 | $1,112,000 | −5.7% | 31% | 83% | 77 | 5.63 | Buyer-leaning |

| Sharon | 70 | $1,197,151 | −11.7% | 30% | 71% | 53 | 8.83 | Buyer-leaning |
| Queensville | 60 | $1,112,891 | −9.3% | 31% | 82% | 28 | 4.20 | Buyer-leaning |
| Rural East Gwillimbury | 49 | $1,130,267 | −20.3% | 26% | 80% | 54 | 20.25 | Buyer-leaning |
Listings sold = sales ÷ new listings over 12 months. Above 60% = seller-leaning; 40–60% = balanced; below 40% = buyer-leaning. Average prices cover all property types, so a change in the mix of homes sold can move a neighbourhood's average as much as the market does.

Coverage
Resale transactions and leases recorded through the MLS® for East Gwillimbury, Ontario. Source: HabiStat MLS® statistics, all associations, monthly from January 2010 to September 2026. Excludes new construction sold by builders, assignment sales and private sales. The current partial month is reported separately and left out of every calculation.
Key Definitions
Share of new listings sold (SNLR): sales divided by new listings in the period. Months of inventory: how long active listings would last at the current pace of sales; the three-month measure uses the trailing three months of sales. 12-month average price: total dollar volume divided by total sales over the trailing 12 months. Sale-to-list: sale price as a percentage of list price. Distance from peak: the 12-month average price against its highest level to that point.
How the Reads Are Made
Market phase compares the latest three months with the same three months a year earlier and tags each signal hotter, cooler or steady by a fixed threshold. The balance meter treats under 40% of new listings selling as a buyer's market and over 60% as a seller's market. These are rules applied to the data, not forecasts.
Limitations
Figures by property type or neighbourhood rest on smaller samples and can move with the mix of homes sold, which is why they are shown over 12 months. Average rents cover leases through the MLS® only. All data is subject to revision.
Editorial Notes
Neighbourhood descriptions and commute times are editorial and are not appraisals. Commute times reflect typical off-peak conditions.
