Ontario Homes Are Taking Longer to Sell

By Q2 2026, avg. days on market had increased yearly across home types in Southern Ontario, marking a slower pace than the 2022 peak.
Condos took longest to sell in Q2 2026, averaging 36 days versus ~32 in Q2 2025, while elevated inventory gave buyers more negotiating room.
Single-family homes moved faster than condos: semi-detached averaged 20 days, detached 25, and townhouses ~24, with townhouses showing the smallest yearly increase.
An economist said townhouses appeared more resilient because they appealed to downsizers and first-time buyers seeking an option between detached homes and condos.
The contrast was sharp: at the Early-Q1 2022 peak, detached homes sold in nine days, while semi-detached homes and townhouses took ~1 week.
