What the Numbers Tell Us
Low New Listings, Healthy Sales
With only 28 new listings this week but 26 homes (14 firm + 12 conditional) moving under contract, the market is showing strong interest in the right listings.Value Is Being Found
Homes are still selling close to ask (98%), indicating buyers are willing to pay for well-presented homes, but the drop in the median sold price versus list price suggests pricing pressure remains.Inventory Still Gives Buyers Choice
With 265 homes active, buyers aren’t in a rush-rush scenario. That gives you time to compare, negotiate, and move confidently.Seasonal Advantage
Fall often brings motivated sellers—those who want to wrap things up before winter—and buyers who are serious. That combination works in your favour.
Market Forecast – Local + National Trends

Together these data points suggest the upcoming year will be one of stable or slightly declining prices, while transaction volume may pick up as rates ease and buyers return.
What This Means for Buyers
The Timing Is Right: With less competition and motivated sellers, you’re positioned to find value.
Be Ready: Pre-approval, strong negotiating tactics, and readiness to act will separate you from other buyers.
Smart Strategy Wins: Instead of chasing major price appreciation, lock in your home now while the conditions favour you.
What This Means for Sellers
Presentation & Pricing Matter: Since dramatic price increases aren’t expected, your best edge is having your home look top-notch and be realistically priced.
Serious Buyers Are Out There: The numbers show homes are selling when they’re in good condition and appropriately priced.
Seasonal Advantage: Fall brings focus—buyers who show up now are often driven and decisive. Leverage that.
For Homeowners Just Monitoring Their Investment

A stable median sold price and strong list-to‐sale ratio show your home’s value remains credible.
Monitoring your equity, understanding your borrowing power, and staying aware of market movement keeps you ready for whenever you decide to make a move.
Final Word
The Halton Hills real estate market right now is still a buyer's market —not wildly overheated, but definitely active. With fewer new listings, considerable buyer interest and a large enough inventory to give you choice, both buyers and sellers who act with strategy will find opportunity. Prices aren’t expected to soar, but a prepared buyer or seller can still win.
