Real numbers for the places I actually work — average price, year-over-year change, and how long homes are taking to sell. Updated for August 2026.
Hamilton · August 2026
$746,000
Down 10% year-over-year
Hamilton is the clearest buyer's market in the region right now. More inventory than active buyers means conditions on financing and inspection are being accepted again, and well-prepared buyers are negotiating below list.
Brant County · August 2026
$682,000
Down 6% year-over-year
Brantford continues to offer one of the most accessible detached price points within an hour of Hamilton, with steady supply of family homes under $700K.
Brant County · August 2026
$824,000
Down 3% year-over-year
Limited inventory keeps Paris resilient. Well-presented homes in the newer subdivisions still draw multiple showings in their first week on market.
Halton · August 2026
$1,290,000
Down 5% year-over-year
Good selection at every price point. Buyers are patient here, so presentation and staging are doing real work.
Hamilton · August 2026
$1,065,000
Down 6% year-over-year
Ancaster holds its premium over the rest of Hamilton thanks to well-regarded schools, larger lots and easy 403 access.
Hamilton · August 2026
$918,000
Down 5% year-over-year
Dundas trades on character and setting. Century homes near the downtown core and escarpment trails behave very differently from the newer pockets.
Hamilton · August 2026
$965,000
Down 4% year-over-year
Newer subdivisions plus quick access to the 403, 407 and Aldershot GO keep Waterdown moving faster than the Hamilton average.
Hamilton · August 2026
$789,000
Down 8% year-over-year
Stoney Creek splits into two markets: the older lakeside pockets and the newer mountain subdivisions. Both have softened, and buyers have choice.
Halton · August 2026
$1,070,000
Roughly flat year-over-year
Population growth keeps demand strong in Milton, and it is the one market in the region that has held its value year-over-year.
Niagara · August 2026
$897,000
Down 4% year-over-year
Condo townhomes and lake-adjacent detached homes are the two very different halves of this market, and pricing strategy has to match the segment.
Halton · August 2026
$1,575,000
Down 11% year-over-year
Oakville has seen the largest year-over-year correction in the region. Premium pricing remains, but the discount to last year is real.
