Methodology

This page draws on 1,287 recorded commercial transactions in Toronto between 2021-09-20 and 2025-12-31, from the EVALUAITE Market Intelligence dataset. A city and asset class is published only once it carries at least 50 recorded transactions.

Too few of these sales reported a cap rate to publish a range, so none is shown. All 5 years in the window carried enough sales to plot a median. The year-over-year comparison had enough sales on both sides to compute. CMHC rental context is available for this market.
