August 2026 Market Snapshot
Here's where things stand across Hamilton, Brantford, Paris, Grimsby, Burlington and the surrounding communities — average prices, how long homes are taking to sell, and what each market means for you.
$746,000
Down 10% year-over-year
More inventory than buyers means real leverage: conditions on financing and inspection are being accepted again, and well-prepared buyers are negotiating below list.
$682,000
Down 6% year-over-year
Steady supply of detached homes under $700K. Sellers who price to the market are still moving in under a month; overpriced listings are sitting.
$824,000
Down 3% year-over-year
Limited inventory keeps prices resilient. Well-presented homes in newer subdivisions still draw multiple showings in the first week.
$897,000
Down 4% year-over-year
Condo townhomes and lake-adjacent homes are the two very different halves of this market — pricing strategy has to match the segment.
$1,290,000
Down 5% year-over-year
Good selection at every price point. Buyers are patient, so presentation and staging are doing real work here.
$1,070,000
Roughly flat year-over-year
Population growth keeps demand strong. Freehold townhomes continue to be the fastest-moving segment.
$728,000
Down 7% year-over-year
Some of the best price-per-square-foot in the region. Excellent entry point for buyers priced out of Burlington or Milton.
Figures reflect August 2026 average residential sale prices and average days on market compiled from local real estate board reporting for each community. Averages cover all property types and are a starting point, not a valuation of any specific home.
Longer days on market means time to think, conditions that get accepted, and room to negotiate. That window doesn't stay open forever.
Correctly priced homes are selling in about a month across the region. Overpriced listings are the ones sitting, then reducing, then selling for less.
Milton and Paris behave nothing like Hamilton right now. A single regional headline number will steer you wrong — your plan should be built on your neighbourhood.
Averages are a headline. What matters is what homes like yours are actually selling for right now. I'll put together a breakdown for your specific neighbourhood — no pressure, no obligation.
