What This Means
The size of the Newmarket to Aurora difference depends on the measure. Average prices put Aurora $320,587 higher, median prices put it $208,500 higher, and TRREB’s MLS® HPI benchmark puts it $233,400 higher. The benchmark describes a typical detached home with defined characteristics, so it is less affected by which homes happened to sell that month. The three measures produce different community level comparisons. They are not a budget range for your move. That requires comparing your current property with suitable purchase options.
Aurora’s average sat $120,712 above its median, while Newmarket’s sat $8,625 above. The average and median summarize the sales differently. The average uses all sale prices, while the median identifies the middle sale price.
Newmarket detached homes averaged 96% of list price in 31 days on market, while Aurora detached homes averaged 98% in 37 days. Aurora was slightly higher on sale to list price and slower on days on market. At the end of September, TRREB reported 213 active detached listings in Newmarket and 175 in Aurora.
Detached benchmark prices were lower than a year earlier in both communities, by 6.04% in Aurora and 8.45% in Newmarket. A year over year change does not predict the next month.
Each figure is a difference between reported numbers, not the amount you would have available after the move. Apply the net sheet framework to the Newmarket sale price to estimate proceeds, and see How Much Does It Cost to Move Up in York Region? for the buying side costs layered on top of the Aurora purchase price. Aurora had 33 detached sales in September and Newmarket had 36, and monthly figures move with the particular homes that sold. Your own comparison needs the specific property you would sell and the specific property you would buy.
This comparison uses detached homes only, so it fits a move from one detached home to another. If you own a townhouse or a semi detached home, your starting point is different. TRREB reported 9 attached, row and townhouse sales in Newmarket and 7 in Aurora in September, too few for a reliable monthly comparison.
