MARCH 2026 MARKET REPORT: Halton Region Housing Market Gains Momentum In March As Sales And Listings Rebound

Oakville, ON, APRIL 7, 2026  –   The Oakville, Milton and District Real Estate Board (OMDREB) reports a rebound in market activity across the Halton Region in March 2026, with both sales and new listings rising compared to February. While prices remained relatively stable month-over-month, year-over-year comparisons continue to reflect a more balanced and price-sensitive market.

Across the Halton Region, the average single family home sale price was $1,430,908, down 0.7% from February and 6.0% year-over-year. 299 single family properties were sold, representing a 32.3% increase month-over-month, while remaining slightly below March 2025 levels (-2.3%). Supply also increased notably, with 821 new listings, up 32.2% from February, signaling growing seller confidence ahead of the spring market. 

Despite the rise in activity, buyers continue to benefit from favourable conditions: 82.9% of single family homes sold below asking price, while only 15.1% sold above list, well below last year’s levels.

The average days on market decreased to 32 days, improving from 34 days in February, suggesting homes are beginning to move more quickly as activity picks up.

“The Halton Region housing market has been incredibly dynamic over the last half of winter and heading into spring. Although still well below historic norms, over the first few months of the year we saw demand and transaction volume slowly starting to rise. In March, we are seeing that trend continue. While some buyers are likely waiting for more price moderation or additional affordability measures before entering the market, others have come off the sidelines,” says Heidi Noel, President of OMDREB. “Both sales and new listings rose compared to February. While prices remained relatively stable month-over-month, year-over-year they have dropped in most segments, continuing to reflect a more balanced and price-sensitive market.”

“We expect this momentum to continue building into the spring months. Buyers have more inventory choice at their disposal, and sellers understand that they must remain strategic and realistic in their pricing if they absolutely need to list,” Noel adds. “However, it begs to be repeated that while the overall outlook is positive, affordability and broader economic conditions will continue to shape market behaviour over the long term.”

Noel concludes, “If the time has come to make a decision about buying or selling your home, contacting an OMDREB REALTOR® to facilitate next steps is your best choice of action.”
