Welcome to the first Pick 5 of 2026! This week, David takes a close look at five Toronto listings that stand out in the first week of the year, spanning different neighbourhoods, price points, and property types. The key question is: how much of the current inventory is truly new, and how much is re-listed?

From East York semis to Roncesvalles row homes and a standout detached property with a rare offer date, this episode breaks down pricing strategies, listing history, and what buyers and sellers should be paying attention to right now.

This week’s picks:

• 1:48 – 9 Lesmount Ave: An East York two-storey semi on a 25 ft lot with 3 beds and 4 baths, priced at $1.199M. Nicely staged and polished finishes but a long-time re-list
• 5:44 – 6 Westminster Ave: A character-filled Edwardian row house in Roncesvalles, steps from the park. Four bedrooms, no parking, but loaded with original details. First time listed, priced at $1.499M with an offer dat; one of the hottest listings in the city
• 10:47 – 226 Broadway Ave: A Midtown detached on a 25 ft lot near Mount Pleasant with a basement apartment and strong transit access
• 14:39 – 673 Crawford St: Brand-new three-storey semi near Bickford Park on a narrow 15 ft lot with 3 beds and 4 baths, priced at $2.25M. High-end finishes and tons of vertical space
• 18:01 – 187 Grenadier Rd: A standout detached Edwardian on a 27×125 ft lot with 5 beds and 5 baths, priced at $3M. First time on the market and holding offers, this is a Roncesvalles “forever home”
