Halton Hills Housing Update - Ep.283

Welcome to this week’s Halton Hills housing update! It’s been a while since I’ve done an update, it was a long summer with my four kids at home. So, I’m finally getting back into the swing of things and I’ll be updating you each week on what’s happening in the market! So today I’ll cover what happened in July and August, along with what the market is currently looking like.

So, in July, we had 66 sales and our average price was $968,000. In August we decreased to 53 sales, and August is historically one of our slowest months, so this makes sense. Our average price dropped 5% from July to $922,000, which is down 11% from August 2025, where the average price was $1,036,000. We’ve definitely seen a drop in pricing and we know that the market is softer. We’ve also had a ton of new inventory, which doesn’t help our market. It’s definitely a buyers market right now and based on how busy my virtual tour guy is, I think we are in for lots of new listings this fall. 

We had a decent week in terms of sales this week. Georgetown had 10 sales, Acton had three, Glen Williams had none and the rural market only saw one. Of the 14 properties that sold this week, 11 of them were under a million dollars, so the far majority of sales is still in our lower price point. Another notable thing is that five of the 14 sales were under $650,000. Getting a house in the 500s used to be unheard of in Georgetown, but we are back. Also, the sales over a million were between one and 1.23 million, so even the higher sales this week were still not crazy high. 

Looking at active inventory, we are at 258 active listings in all of Halton Hills. This is still quite high, but we were pushing 300 at the beginning of the summer, so inventory is softening. In Georgetown this week, we are at 143 active listings. This is high, but it’s not near the 170 we’ve seen in the past. Looking at our price points, under $800,000 is at 21 active listings, eight hundred to a million is at 44, one to 1.5 million is at 59 and 1.5 million plus is at 16, but taking forever to sell. We definitely have a situation above a million, since that is where most of our inventory is, yet most of our sales are under a million. With only 53 sales in August, you can also see why properties are sitting. Looking at Acton, they have 26 active listings, which is not the highest we’ve seen, but it also isn’t low. Glen Williams has seven listings which is a middle ground for this market. Finally, the rural market is at 82 which is absolutely crazy! This is the highest we’ve seen and it will take a long time for all of these properties to sell, especially since we only had one sale there this week. 

So, that’s what’s happening in the market right now. Even though inventory is technically lower than it was earlier this year, it is still very high. When we look back to January, we had 131 active listings, and now we’re at 258. Georgetown was at 66 and we are more than double that now. The rural market also only had 44, so again, basically double now. It’s not a great start to the fall market, and the last few have been horrible. Properties are moving, but we are definitely seeing pricing soften. If we start to see buyer confidence pick up, that would be great because I do think we are about to see a ton of new listings hit the market. So, I’ll be back next week, have a great day!
