Welcome to this week's Halton Hills housing update. I’m sorry for missing the past couple updates, during the summer it’s always a little bit more sporadic, so bear with me! I will try to get on here as much as possible to keep you updated on what’s happening in the market. So today I have June’s numbers and unfortunately they aren’t great, which isn’t totally surprising. It has felt like there have been busy moments, but the numbers are in and we are down. In June of 2025, our average price was $1,011,000 and this year, we are down to 975,000. That is down just over 3.5%, which is not dramatic and pretty in line with the one to 1.5 million average we’ve seen for almost two years now. At $975,000, we aren’t too far off of that. This is also not the first month that we have been under the million mark, so we’ll have to see if that continues or if things pick back up. On some properties, it does feel like prices are softening but others are really holding their value so it’s definitely hit or miss. The big thing is that we have dropped in terms of units. In June of 2025, we sold 90 units and this month, we only sold 62, which is a drop of 30%. This is still up from the 40 range we saw earlier this year, so technically we are up in terms of units sold in 2026. When looking at the sales, only 20 of the 62 were over a million dollars, and there were actually 16 or 17 properties that sold under $800,000. That is definitely keeping our average price down. We also only had three sales over 1.5 million, so again, that isn’t going to raise the average price either.
Looking at the numbers this week, Georgetown had six sales, which isn’t a lot but this week was a busy week for a lot of people with school ending and Canada Day. I’m hoping this was just a slow week and it would be nice to get back to double digit sales. We also had 11 new listings and we need this number to slow down. Acton had one sale and one new listing this week. One sale isn’t great but at least it was even with the new listings. Glen Williams and the rural market both had no sales and one new listing. In terms of properties coming off of the market, we had 11 exit, so without those our inventory would be much higher. We also had nine properties relist and lower their price.
So, looking at active inventory, we are very very saturated and almost at the most amount of listings we’ve ever had in Halton Hills. We are at 286 active listings this week and if we didn’t have those 11 properties exit, we’d be sitting close to 300 units right now. That is a lot of houses for sale! So, looking at Georgetown, we are at 166, and the highest I’ve ever seen in 170. We are so close to that and it’s not great, especially since we aren’t seeing a ton of sales right now. Looking at our price points, under $800,000 is at 27. This number has been slowly climbing but nothing crazy. Eight hundred thousand to a million is up from 42 to 50 from my last update. One to 1.5 million is at 65 and oh my that is high. It is so hard to sell a house in this price point right now. Last week only one of the six sales was over a million dollars, and here we have 65 houses sitting. That is so many months of inventory and definitely a situation. Finally, 1.5 million plus is up to 24 which is another big jump since my last update and we aren’t seeing many sales here at all. It’s a real situation.
Acton is up to 36 this week, which is also close to the peak. Glen Williams has seven listings, which is honestly surprisingly low given how saturated the rest of the market is. The rural market is up to 77 units, which is INSANE! I’ve never seen it over 70 and the crazy thing is that normally these properties sit because they are high in price, but we have 11 properties under a million dollars right now. These normally transact rather quickly. So, if you are a seller right now, you need to be extremely patient because you are not alone. Like I said, Georgetown only had six sales this week and there are 65 of you between one and 1.5 million. We are not seeing the movement we need to. Typically, new inventory slows down in the summer and it gives us a chance to see inventory lower, but that is just not happening right now and it will not make for a good fall market. We could be setting record highs soon. I was hopeful that 2026 would be a good year but we aren’t in a great position. Interest rates and great and there are a lot of awesome properties, so it’s just crazy that the market is this bad. We’re just riding the wave and one of these days the market will turn around. I’m just not sure that day will be in 2026. So, I’ll be back when I can, have a great day!
