July 2026.

June produced 23 sales — down from May’s 30 as the market eased into summer, though still 44% ahead of last June’s 16. The month was clearly front-loaded: 19 of the 23 sales came in the first half, with the back half slowing to a near-standstill. Several of the homes that sold had been listed since the spring: average days on market was 30 — the lowest of the year. Individual sales, however, ranged from a few days to over three months, as some longer-standing listings finally found buyers. New listings stepped back to 56 (−24% year over year). On the ground, the tempo felt quieter than the headline count suggests.

That quieter, entry-weighted activity shows up in the averages. The average sale price eased to $2.42M and the median to $2.08M — steep on paper, but largely a reflection of what traded: more than half of June’s sales were in Ford, the area’s entry tier, pulling the averages down. The sale-to-list ratio held at 94%, with sales spanning $1.25M to $5.5M. This is a shift in composition, not a repricing.

The benchmark tells the truer story on value. The MLS® single-family Home Price Index — which holds the home constant rather than averaging whatever sold — barely moved month over month, the three communities easing in step, each off about 1–2% from May. Year over year the benchmarks are down in the mid single digits — a gentle recalibration, not the double-digit drop the headline average implies. The market is cooling into summer and values are drifting modestly lower, but there is no cliff here.

A quieter month in the southeast is not at odds with the bigger picture: across Oakville as a whole, the first half of 2026 has been a story of recovery. For the town-wide view, see our 2026 Mid-Year Market Review.
