Housing
What You’ll Find in Sunnybrook
Original Sunnybrook reflects an established mid-century housing era, while Sunnybrook South represents much newer development. The combined 2009 median build year reflects the mix of homes sold, not the age of every home across both areas.
Common styles in the 2026 sold sample: Bungalow, 2 Storey, Bi-Level and Modified Bi-Level.
Among these sales, the median year built was 2009; median above-grade living area was 1,485 sq. ft.
What affects the comparison?
A homeowner in original Sunnybrook needs comparisons that reflect the older housing stock, renovation quality and lot. A Sunnybrook South home may compete with newer homes with different layouts and finishes. The combined median alone cannot capture those differences.
Basement development, garage size, lot position and the quality of updates can make two homes with similar above-grade space compete differently.

The same January–August period
January–August 2025: 30 sales, $497,500 median sale price and 26 median cumulative DOM. January–August 2026: 21 sales, $625,000 median sale price and 30 median cumulative DOM.
The combined median is heavily affected by the mix between older Sunnybrook and newer, higher-priced Sunnybrook South. The change from $497,500 to $625,000 does not mean every Sunnybrook home appreciated by that amount. Compare homes within the appropriate subdivision before drawing a conclusion about your property.
