Burlington Real Estate Market Stats — August 2026
Prepared by Vieira Real Estate Associates • Updated September 2026
Quick take: Slower sales meet shrinking supply
Sales: -31.32%
Avg Price: $1,020,937
Median: $897,000
Active: 706
Burlington had a quieter August with noticeably fewer transactions, though detached homes held their ground on price. Inventory is pulling back too, and heading into fall the balance between declining supply and buyer demand will be the key thing to watch.
August 2026 Overview
Burlington had a quieter August, with fewer transactions overall, although the detached market showed some resilience. Across Burlington, 193 homes sold (-31.32% YoY). The average price declined to $1,020,937 (-5.10% YoY), while the median price fell to $897,000 (-7.19% YoY).
Detached homes were the exception on pricing. The average detached price rose 1.53% to $1,421,482, with the median also up 3.31%, even as detached sales fell 21.24%. The more affordable segments were softer, with freehold towns down 7.84% and condo apartments down 13.79%.
One important trend to watch is inventory. Active listings declined 12.08% overall, including a 26.23% drop in detached inventory, and new listings were down 9.02%. So while August was clearly a slower month, buyers are also seeing fewer homes to choose from heading into the fall.

What This Means for Buyers
Softer prices in the freehold town and condo segments give buyers some room to negotiate, while detached homes are holding their value. Inventory is shrinking though, with active listings down across most of the market. If you are prepared and pre-approved, acting before supply tightens further could work in your favour.
What This Means for Sellers
Sales slowed noticeably in August, so buyers remain selective and well-priced homes are still the ones that move. With fewer new listings coming to market, there is also less competition for the right buyer. Presentation and a precise pricing strategy make the difference between a quick sale and a listing that sits.

Burlington Market FAQs — August 2026
Are prices going up or down?
It depends on the segment. The overall average price in August was $1,020,937 (-5.10% YoY) and the median was $897,000 (-7.19% YoY). Detached homes bucked the trend, with the average up 1.53% and the median up 3.31%.
Did sales hold up?
No, August was slower. Overall sales were down 31.32% year over year to 193 transactions, with declines across every major segment including a 21.24% drop in detached sales.
What is happening with inventory?
Supply is pulling back. Active listings fell 12.08% overall, led by a 26.23% drop in detached inventory, and new listings were down 9.02%. Fewer homes on the market could shift the balance as demand returns.
Is now a good time to list?
With fewer new listings competing for attention, well-prepared and accurately priced homes stand out. Buyers are still selective, so condition, pricing, and marketing remain essential to a strong result.
