York Region August Market: Plan Selling Time Around the Local Market
Property days on market averaged 51 in Markham, 57 in Stouffville and 61 in Richmond Hill. A York Region average cannot set the timetable for one home. Narrow the city, property type and competing listings before setting price and closing plans.
Selling time differs across York Region
Average property days on market (PDOM) for homes sold during August includes relisting history. It is neither a prediction of selling time nor the time from sale to closing.

SNLR and months of inventory use TRREB’s published trend measures. Do not substitute monthly sales divided by new listings, or active listings divided by monthly sales. Average prices reflect the mix sold, not the price change of an identical home.
Read average and benchmark prices separately
Markham’s August average selling price was $1,208,692; its MLS HPI composite benchmark was $1,055,300, down 6.42% year over year. York Region’s benchmark was $1,089,400, down 6.18%, and Stouffville’s was $1,164,000, down 5.23%. These measures describe different things. A higher average does not establish that every property increased in value.
Benchmark source: TRREB Market Watch, page 25. GTA sales totalled 5,057, down 2.1% year over year; new listings totalled 12,075, down 14.1%. These totals provide regional context, not a neighbourhood or property-type conclusion.
Anjia interpretation: turn the statistics into a preparation checklist
Sellers: leave room in the timetable
Review recent sales with similar location, type, size and condition, then inspect active competition. Compare listing days and property days to identify relistings that appear newly listed.
Buyers: compare total cost and conditions
Compare completed sales alongside repair needs, fees and financing overlap. Regional market time is context; it does not establish which offer a particular seller will accept.
Moving households: plan the closing sequence
Allow separately for preparation, launch feedback, conditions and closing. Confirm funding arrangements with your lender. A three-day sale is evidence of one transaction, not a repeatable timetable for every home.
Stouffville: market context and a real transaction
Stouffville recorded 47 August sales, 288 active listings and 57 property days on market. Anjia’s supplied flyer records 63 Suttonrail Way as sold firm on September 3, 2026, in three days. This September case is not part of the August totals; the supplied evidence does not disclose a sale price or marketing process.
