At $1.1 million in Vellore Village right now, you are buying a townhouse or a semi — not a detached home. We pulled every freehold that sold here over the past few months to check, and the pattern held in 10 of 14 sales. If your budget is $1.1 million and you're picturing a detached house with a driveway, we need to talk before you start booking showings.
We've been selling in this community for over two decades, and we've watched it shift from "affordable Vaughan alternative" to a price point where the math simply doesn't stretch as far as it used to. Here's what's actually happening on the ground, street by street.
Why $1.1 Million Doesn't Buy Detached in Vellore Village Anymore
Of the 14 freehold sales we reviewed between March and June 2026, only 4 were detached homes. The rest — 10 of 14 — were freehold townhouses and semi-detached homes. That's not a small skew. That's the market telling you something plainly: at this price point, attached product is the default, and detached is the exception.
The sold prices ranged from $1,015,000 to $1,270,000, with a median of $1,060,000. Most of that range is occupied by townhomes and semis clustered around the Weston Road and Major Mackenzie Drive corridor, with a smaller pocket near Fossil Hill Road and Jane Street.

What $1.1 Million Actually Buys in Vellore Village Right Now
The typical profile at this price point: a 3- to 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom freehold townhouse or semi, built between 2007 and 2020, sitting on a lot with 18 to 30 feet of frontage, in the 1,500 to 2,500 square foot range. Property taxes on these homes run $4,400 to $6,000 annually.
The table below shows all 14 sales we're basing this on. Look at the Attached/Semi group first: every single one sold within a few points of asking, most within a matter of weeks. That consistency is the story — this is a predictable, well-behaved segment of the market, not one where you need to brace for a bidding war.
None of these are compromises. They're well-built, well-located homes in a community that still outperforms most of the GTA on schools, transit access, and walkability. But if you've been picturing a detached home with this budget, this is the honest recalibration you need before you start touring.

The Detached Exception — And Why It Comes With a Fight
Here's where it gets interesting, and where we see buyers get burned the most. The four detached homes in our sample didn't behave like the townhomes and semis at all — and the table above makes this obvious the moment you look at it. The detached rows don't sit quietly near asking the way the attached/semi rows do. They split into two extremes.
Two detached listings, both on desirable, extra-wide lots, sold in 8 and 11 days at 11.5% and 15.6% over asking — textbook bidding wars sparked by rare, well-priced detached inventory hitting a hot pocket of the market.
A third detached listing sat for 40 days before eventually selling under asking — one of the longest days-on-market numbers in our entire sample, and a reminder that "detached" alone doesn't guarantee demand if the price doesn't match the block.
The takeaway: detached inventory under $1.2 million in Vellore Village is rare enough that pricing strategy matters enormously. Price it right on a desirable lot, and you'll spark a bidding war. Price it aspirationally, and it will sit — sometimes for well over a month — while attached homes nearby sell in under two weeks.
What Buyers Consistently Get Wrong About This Price Point
The single biggest mistake we see: buyers walk in assuming $1.1 million is a detached-home budget in Vellore Village because it was, five or six years ago. It isn't anymore. The community's newer-construction inventory — built largely in the 2010s and later — priced attached product competitively enough that it now absorbs most of the demand at this level.
The second mistake: assuming all attached product moves at the same pace. It doesn't. One townhouse in our sample had its original asking price cut by nearly $90,000 before it finally sold — while another, similarly sized townhouse a few streets over sold in just 4 days at full expectation. The difference usually comes down to lot position, finishes, and whether the seller priced it to the current market or to last year's comparables.
Is $1.1 Million Enough to Buy in Vellore Village in 2026?
Yes — for a well-built, recently constructed townhouse or semi in a strong pocket of the community. If your heart is set on detached, $1.1 million puts you in competition for a small, fast-moving slice of inventory, and you should be prepared to either move quickly on a well-priced listing or wait for a home that's been sitting long enough to negotiate.
Either way, the answer depends less on your budget and more on what you're willing to trade — square footage for a driveway, a newer build for an older one, or patience for certainty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you buy a detached home in Vellore Village for $1.1 million in 2026? Occasionally, but it's the exception, not the rule. Of the freehold sales we reviewed, only 4 of 14 were detached, and the well-priced ones sold well over asking. Budget for competition if detached is the goal.
What's the difference between buying a townhouse and a semi at this price point? In our data, both come in around the same price range and square footage, but semis in Vellore Village tend to sit on slightly wider lots (25 to 30 feet versus 18 to 25 feet for townhomes), which matters if outdoor space is a priority.
How fast are homes selling in Vellore Village right now? It varies widely. Well-priced homes in strong pockets sold in 4 to 12 days in our sample. Homes priced aspirationally sat for 30 to 40 days before selling — often below the original list price.
What are property taxes like on a $1.1 million home in Vellore Village? Based on recent sales, expect $4,400 to $6,000 annually, depending on the home's size and assessed value.
Which streets see the most activity at this price point? The Weston Road and Major Mackenzie Drive corridor accounts for the majority of recent sales in this range, with a secondary pocket near Fossil Hill Road and Jane Street.
