Oakville, ON, JULY 7, 2026 – The Halton Region housing market continued to stabilize in June, with buyer activity remaining steady despite softer year-over-year pricing and fewer new listings. While market conditions varied by municipality, the overall trend points to a balanced market where well-priced homes continue to attract buyers.
Across Halton, the average sale price for all residential property types moderated compared to June 2025, while inventory remained below last year’s levels. Most homes continued to sell below asking price, reflecting a market where buyers have greater negotiating power than in recent years. At the same time, days on market remained relatively stable, suggesting buyers are active but taking a measured approach to purchasing decisions.
One of the month’s strongest performers was Burlington, where detached home sales increased 24.1% year-over-year and total dollar volume rose 22.0%, demonstrating continued demand in the city’s single-family market. Detached homes in Burlington also spent fewer days on the market than a year ago, highlighting the benefits of proper pricing based on current market conditions.
Oakville, Milton, and Halton Hills experienced slower sales activity and lower average prices compared to June 2025. New listings also declined across most market segments, continuing a trend that has persisted throughout much of the year and slightly limiting the supply of available homes for prospective buyers.
“June’s results show a market that continues to offer real opportunity for buyers,” says Heidi Noël, President of OMDREB. “There is still plenty of choice, buyers continue to have negotiating power, and well-priced homes are attracting serious interest. For people who have been waiting on the sidelines, today’s market offers a combination of selection and negotiating flexibility that we haven’t seen in several years.”
“While no one can predict exactly where the market will go next, we’re beginning to see signs that buyers are becoming more confident. Those who have been waiting for the ‘right time’ may find that today’s combination of selection, negotiating power, and moderated pricing represents an opportunity that won’t always be available.”
“If you’re considering buying or selling, this is a market where local expertise really matters. Conditions can vary considerably from one neighbourhood to another, and an OMDREB REALTOR® can help you understand what’s happening in your community and develop a strategy that’s right for you.”
