As of May 1st, 2018, there are 15 homes available in the Davisville Village area. These homes range in price from $1,268,000 for a semi on Soudan(1 day on the market) to $2,730,000 for a detached with a garage on Belsize Drive(71 days on the market).

In April, 11 homes sold in Davisville, including 5 detached and 6 semis. The average time to sell a home was 7 days;  one home took only 1 day, while the longest lasted 16 days on the market. This doesn't include the 6 homes that had been listed for more than 30 days or the 5 homes (4 relists) that were listed in the month of April and are not selling at their current listed prices.

All but 2 of the 11 April home sales sold at or above their listed price. The highest-selling home was a newer detached 4-bedroom home on a 25 x 125-foot Manor Road lot, with a private drive and garage. It sold for $2,600,000 (4% above the asking price). It was followed by a home on highly coveted Belcourt Avenue, which sold for $2,250,000 (3% above the asking price). Both were very nice homes.

Entry into the Davisville Village market now requires buyers to spend over a million dollars. The Seymour Team listed a semi-detached home at 262 Belsize Drive, which sold for 23% above the $998,000 listed price and 14% higher than the next-highest home in the neighbourhood’s real estate market. Buyers are still actively looking for homes in midtown despite the implementation of the OFSI Stress Test and higher mortgage rates.

Low inventory will continue to drive bidding on homes through May and into June. All 5 banks recently raised their posted rates, which will have an effect on new entrants into the buying market and will add downward pressure on prices should inventory increase.
