Yorkville's luxury condominium market ($2M+) recorded 7 transactions in May 2026 at a $3.40M average and 99% price achievement - the segment's strongest monthly performance of the year. Three of seven properties sold at or above asking price. Premium freehold properties ($3M+) recorded zero transactions for the fifth consecutive month.
May Performance: $2M+ Condo Segment
Seven transactions closed across Yorkville's luxury corridor in May, spanning Bay Street Corridor and Annex communities, with total monthly volume of $23.865M. The 99% average price achievement is the defining number of the month - and the competitive activity behind three specific sales explains why.
MAY TRANSACTIONS
- 50 Yorkville Ave 4802 | $6.1M
- 1 St Thomas St 1A | $4.54M
- 10 Bellair St 1807 | $3.15M - full asking
- 1 Bedford Rd 811 | $2.8M
- 10 Prince Arthur Ave 501 | $2.675M
- 11C Tranby Ave | $2.6M ✅ over asking
- 1166 Bay St 2103 | $2M ✅ 114% of list
Spring acceleration is concentrated in the $2-3M baseline tier where buyer competition has visibly returned. For sellers in this range, this is the environment that warranted patience through Q1. For buyers who spent January through April negotiating from strength, May's data requires a recalibration.
Freehold Segment: The Fifth Month
Premium freehold properties ($3M+) recorded zero transactions in May - extending an unbroken freeze across all five months of 2026. The conditions freehold sellers cited as reasons to wait have partially arrived in the adjacent segment. Condo buyers are competing. Price achievement has reached 99%. Over-asking activity has returned.
Five months of zero activity creates compounding scarcity. When freehold activity resumes, buyers will find limited inventory against accumulated demand. First movers into that environment capture the scarcity premium. Sellers who move with the consensus face simultaneous supply releases and compressed advantage.
Five-Month Intelligence: January Through May 2026
| Month | $2M+ Condos | Avg Price | Achievement | $3M+ Freeholds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan | 2 | $5.92M | 92% | 0 |
| Feb | 1 | $2.88M | 92% | 0 |
| Mar | 2 | $2.49M | 93% | 0 |
| Apr | 2 | $10.79M | 92% | 0 |
| May | 7 | $3.40M | 99% | 0 |
The transaction count and the price achievement plateau tell the same story from two directions. Four months of stable, measured activity confirmed underlying demand without acceleration. May broke both patterns simultaneously. That convergence carries more weight than either signal alone.
The freehold line across all five months is a data set unto itself. No ground-related $3M+ property has traded in Yorkville in 2026. This divergence alongside an accelerating condo segment is the defining structural feature of Yorkville's luxury market and the most consequential signal for owners considering their timing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Did any Yorkville properties sell over asking in May 2026?
Three of seven transactions sold at or above list price, including 1166 Bay St 2103 which achieved 114% of asking through active buyer competition - a pattern absent throughout the first four months of the year.
Why have no $3M+ freeholds sold in Yorkville in 2026?
Strategic seller positioning across five consecutive months has created compounding supply scarcity. When activity resumes, the market greeting it will be materially different from the one that preceded the freeze.
Is now a good time to sell a $2M+ Yorkville condo?
May's 99% price achievement, over-asking results, and 7-transaction volume reflect the strongest seller conditions recorded in 2026. The baseline $2-3M tier is showing active buyer competition for the first time this year.
