Homes for Sale and Rent in Aurora, Ontario: 2026 Prices and Buyer Guide

Aurora is a town of about 62,000 people where many of my clients land after outgrowing a condo further south. It offers a GO station, a historic Yonge Street core and newer subdivisions on both sides of town. Below are the latest public numbers and practical notes for buyers and renters.

Aurora at a glance

Aurora had 62,057 residents in the 2021 Census (Statistics Canada). It sits between Richmond Hill and Newmarket on Yonge Street, with Highway 404 along its eastern edge and Bayview and Leslie as the main north-south roads on the east side.

Aurora home prices right now

Here is where Aurora stood in the latest TRREB data for September 2026. The MLS® Home Price Index benchmark describes a typical home of each type and is steadier than the average sale price, which moves with the mix of homes that sold (TRREB MLS® HPI tables, September 2026).

• Composite (typical home): $1,106,800 benchmark (-6.8% year over year)
• Detached: $1,307,600 benchmark (-6.0% year over year)
• Semi-detached: $893,700 benchmark (-8.8% year over year)
• Townhouse: $748,800 benchmark (-10.1% year over year)
• Condo apartment: $494,400 benchmark (-14.1% year over year)

Activity in September 2026 across all home types: 56 sales, an average price of $1,165,686 and a median of $1,081,500, 185 new listings, 292 active listings, about 4.9 months of inventory, a sale-to-list ratio of 98% and 37 average days on market (TRREB Market Watch, September 2026).

Aurora's detached benchmark ($1,307,600) was close to the York Region figure, while townhouses (down 10.1%) and condo apartments (down 14.1%) fell faster than the regional averages, so entry-level buyers have more choice than last year. The sale-to-list ratio held at 98%. For context, CREA reported a national average sale price of $666,538 in September 2026, down 1.6% year over year (CREA), and TRREB's GTA-wide average was $1,006,409, down 5.1%.

Neighbourhoods and what they offer

• Aurora Village and the Yonge Street core: older homes, the Aurora Town Square and local shops.
• Aurora Highlands and Hills of St. Andrew: mature detached homes on larger lots near golf and private schools.
• Bayview Wellington and Bayview Northeast: 1990s and 2000s subdivisions with detached homes and townhouses.
• Newer subdivisions in the north and east: recent detached homes and townhouses, some still under construction.

Renting: what the public data shows

Rentals.ca does not publish a separate Aurora average; rental supply here is smaller and leans toward houses, basement units and a few condo buildings. Rentals.ca and Urbanation's October 2026 report (September data) put average asking rent for purpose-built and condo apartments at $2,393 in Markham and $2,299 in Vaughan, and all-property-type averages at $2,363 in Vaughan and $2,556 in the City of Toronto. Across Ontario, asking rents for all property types were down 4.8% year over year (Rentals.ca National Rent Report, October 2026). Asking rents describe vacant listings, so a renewing tenant's rent can be quite different.

Transit and commuting

Aurora GO station is on the Barrie line (GO Transit), and YRT and Viva serve Yonge Street (YRT). Highway 404 is the main route south for drivers.

Schools

Public schools here are run by the York Region District School Board and Catholic schools by the York Catholic District School Board; French-language families can look at Conseil scolaire Viamonde (public) and Conseil scolaire catholique MonAvenir (Catholic). School boundaries change as new subdivisions open, so confirm the exact address with the board's school locator before you firm up an offer, and do not rely on a listing description alone.
