Old North April 2026: One Small Month Is Not a Pricing Plan

April gave Old North only four residential sales to work with. The house results are worth noting; the month is too small to price the whole neighbourhood from.

Real Estate Selling

April was clearest for houses: three sales, a median around $850k, an average around $1M, and a median 12 days on market. Condo and townhouse owners should use longer-term context, not one tiny snapshot.

April snapshot

April had useful signals. It did not have enough sales to do all the heavy lifting.

This is the kind of month where the headline can look confident while the sample size quietly clears its throat.

What April actually showed

There were four Old North residential sales in April: three houses, one condo, and no townhouses. That is a very small pile of evidence in a neighbourhood where condition, location, updates, parking, and lot characteristics can move the number fast.

The house results are the useful part of April. The median house sale rounded to $850k, the average rounded to $1M, homes had a median 12 days on market, and the sale-to-list figure was 96%. For house sellers, that points to active buyers, not a blank cheque.

Condos and townhouses need a steadier hand. April had just one condo sale and no townhouse sales, so the better condo benchmark is the trailing 12 months: 10 sales with a median around $500k. Townhouses are still too thin to summarize confidently, with only one sale over the past year.

By property type

Do not lump every property type together

The April house numbers are worth a look. Condos and townhouses need more history before they can say much.

April 2026 by property type

The house count is the main April number to watch. The condo and townhouse categories need a wider window before they carry much weight.

Type April sales Median Average Median DOM Sale-to-list Useful read
All residential 4 $650k $825k Not enough Not enough Small month overall
Houses 3 $850k $1M 12 days 96% Useful, but still property-specific
Condos 1 One sale One sale One sale One sale Use the 12-month view
Townhouses 0 No April sales No April sales No April sales No April sales Do not price from April

Prices are rounded for public display. DOM means days on market.

Check the wider window

A small April snapshot works better when it is set beside the past three and 12 months.

Houses 14 sales 54 sales 12-month house median: about $675k
Condos 3 sales 10 sales 12-month condo median: about $500k
Townhouses 1 sale 1 sale Still too thin to summarize confidently

How homeowners should use this

Treat April as a pulse check. Do not treat it as a complete pricing model.

If you own a house

  • Use April as a current signal, not the final number.
  • Compare condition, parking, lot, updates, and exact street position before putting too much weight on the median.
  • Expect buyers to push back if the list price assumes every Old North house earns the same premium.

If you own a condo or townhouse

  • Do not let one small month set expectations.
  • Use the 12-month condo picture before treating April as a benchmark.
  • For townhouses, widen the comparison because Old North had no April sales and only one sale over the past year.

If you are listing soon

  • Lead with the property-specific case, not just the neighbourhood name.
  • Show why your house earns its price before buyers start adjusting for condition or location.
  • Use the aggregate numbers as opening context, then price from the actual house.
