Halton Hills Housing Update - Ep.275

Welcome to this week's Halton Hills housing update. Our inventory is definitely climbing, so let’s take a look at the numbers. In Georgetown last week, we had 10 sales which isn’t low or high, it’s a decent amount, but 21 new listings. That is a lot of new listings and it’s not a hugesurprise given how many sellers tend to list in the spring once Easter weekend is over, but we’ve been pretty steady with inventory this year and that is changing this week. Acton had no sales and seven new listings this week. Glen Williams had no sales and two new listings and the rural market had two sales and two new listings. Something to note here is that of the 12 sales, nine of them were under a million dollars, which supports our conversation about March’s average price where the majority of listings selling are in this price point. We are seeing lower ticket properties sell and not many higher tickets. The other thing to note is that of the 32 new listings, only 12 of the 32 were under a million. So the majority of new listings are over a million dollars but the sales are under, which means inventory might really start to pile on in the coming weeks. I’m honestly surprised we haven’t had this happen already this year. Now looking at properties that made adjustments, we had five properties exit the market, and we honestly need more. Two properties listed at the same price, which if your house isn’t selling, you probably need to lower the price a bit. 

Looking at our active inventory, all of Halton Hills is up from 167 to 182 active listings. That’s a big jump this week and we don’t want to see this happening. Inventory increases are common during the spring, but big jumps like this are not favourable.  Jumps like this are what got us into that mess last year, so hopefully we can see sales pick up. In Georgetown this week, we are up to 107 active listings from 97. We finally broke the 100 mark, but are still a long way from the 170 we saw last September. We really want to see inventory stabilize and I’m not sure that’ll happen soon. So, looking at our price points, under $800,000 went from 15 to 16. Eight hundred thousand to a million remained the same at 25 and one to 1.5 million climbed from 44 to 52. This price point is a problem and it’s always a problem when our inventory gets higher. There are not a ton of buyers in this pocket, so sellers should be pricing their homes accordingly. Finally, 1.5 million plus is up slightly from 13 to 14 active listings. Acton had a big jump this week with 17 to 24 active listings, and it’s terrible news because we aren’t seeing many sales here. They’ve trickled in for the majority of 2026. Glen Williams is up from six to eight active listings and the rural market is actually down because of some terminations from 46 to 43. 

Overall, this update tells me that we might be trending back up in terms of inventory levels. We aren’t seeing many sales and with all of the new inventory coming on, we’re heading in the same direction we were last year, which isn’t good for anyone. Our interest rates are really good, under 4%, so if you are a buyer, start looking! There are some great properties available right now. So, we’ll have to see what the rest of April holds. Hopefully we can see some higher priced properties sell. I’ll be back next week, have a great day!
