Have you ever heard of a DiSC personality test? Well this blog post is for all the high D's out there (read below for what this means)
My head was crunching numbers this week, especially given the interest rate hike of .25% yesterday & the election this week - with a promise to lift the land transfer tax. What would all this mean for real estate in Scarborough? So I thought I'd start out at the beginning and look at what's happening this year. My objective is to look at the following data:
- How much has the median price changed vs. this time last year
- Current inflation rate
- How much are sales numbers up or down? (West Hill is a surprise)
- How many years does it take for house prices to double in south east Scarborough?
Inflation rate with fuel: 3.1% Without: 2%
What does this mean? BOC wants to hold inflation to 2% Everythings expensive, now mortgage rates got more expensive; about $40-$50 per $500,000 per month
Change in Median Home Sale Prices south east Scarborough vs. Toronto 2026
| Toronto | 1,230,000 | 1,200,000 | -30,000 | -2.44 |
| Centennial Scarborough | 1,100,002 | 1,077,500 | -22,502 | -2.05 |
| West Rouge | 1,100,002 | 1,020,000 | -80,002 | -7.27 |
| West Hill | 900,000 | 830,000 | -70,000 | -7.78 |
What does this mean: house prices have dropped since 2025 same time frame. Centennial follows the rest of Toronto, West Hill has the biggest swing. But surprisingly West Hill has had an increase in sales - I guess the large price drop creates great value for buyers.
Change in number of home sales south east Scarborough vs. Toronto 2026
| Freehold Homes | Number of Sales 2025 | 2026 YTD |
| Toronto | 9,471 | 9,279 |
| Centennial Scarborough | 95 | 80 |
| West Rouge | 80 | 42 |
| West Hill | 94 | 107 |
What does this mean: reflective of what I'm feeling right now - a slowdown in sales. West Hill sale prices have dropped to be very attractive to buyers especially in that below $830,000 price range.
How long does it take home prices to double in south east Scarborough?
This is a stat that came up in a meeting the other day - that house prices in Toronto double every 10 years - I think they mean freehold. In southeast Scarborough here's when house prices have doubled:
Centennial, Scarborough - doubled since 2012 (14 years)
West Rouge, Scarborough - doubled since 2015 (11 years)
West Hill, Scarborough - doubled since 2016 (13 years)
What is a DiSC personality test?
A DiSC assessment is a behavioral assessment tool used to improve communication, leadership, and team performance by identifying four primary personality styles: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. Organizations worldwide use DiSC to develop stronger leaders, improve workplace communication, and build more effective teams. A high "D" personality wants quick, fact-based answers (think CEO)
