Oakville Market Watch

What’s Ahead in 2026?  2025 Market Recap & 2026 Outlook

• 2025 was a cooling and correction year with lower sales, modest price adjustments, and value‑driven buyers.

• Sales declined approximately 8% on average compared to 2024, or 25-50% for higher price range homes (please refer to the charts behind)

• Buyers were highly selective, prioritizing premium location, lot size, and architectural quality.

• The year end SNLR has jumped to 56% from 22-35% in most of the year,  as more homes are taken off the market before the holiday season and the number of new listings has dropped.

• In 2026 new year, with interest rate cuts continuing to take effect and confidence gradually improving the market activities and sales are expected to show a stabilization and gradual recovery, although the GTA general market is expected to continue to have further price moderation, the prices in sought-after areas of south Oakville are likely in a flat-to-modest-growth environment, assuming the economic and buyer confidence continue to improve and there's no further macroeconomic and geopolitical risks.

• 2026 new year’s market activities and sales are likely to improve, if you're thinking of selling or making a move in the new year, it’s always good to start planning as early as from now.  Fixing up or minor renovations, staging, strong marketing, and strategic precise pricing ( our expertise) will significantly influence outcomes, please contact us to have an obligation free consultation.
