Oakville Real Estate Market Stats — August 2026
Prepared by Vieira Real Estate Associates • Updated September 2026
Quick take: Prices soften as inventory tightens
Sales: -3.79%
Avg Price: $1,324,472
Median: $1,200,000
Active: 957
Oakville stayed price-sensitive in August, with softer average prices and slightly fewer sales. The bigger shift is supply, as both new and active listings fell sharply year over year, which could give buyers less to choose from heading into the fall.
August 2026 Overview
Here's a quick look at what happened in the Oakville real estate market this August. The average sale price was $1,324,472 (-6.42% YoY), while the median price actually increased to $1,200,000 (+2.56% YoY).
A total of 203 homes sold (-3.79%), suggesting activity held relatively steady despite the decline in average price. Homes took just a little longer to sell, with average days on market at 39 days.
The bigger story may be supply. New listings fell nearly 39% and active inventory dropped almost 23% compared with last August. With considerably fewer homes coming to market, buyers may have less selection heading into the fall.

What This Means for Buyers
Softer average prices give buyers some room to negotiate, and there is still enough on the market to be selective. That said, the drop in new and active listings means the window of wide choice may be narrowing. If you are prepared and pre-approved, acting while prices are soft could pay off before shrinking supply tightens competition this fall.
What This Means for Sellers
Fewer homes are competing for buyer attention right now, which works in your favour. Median prices even ticked up across Oakville overall. Buyers are still price-sensitive though, so preparation, staging, and a sharp pricing strategy remain the difference between a quick sale and a listing that lingers.

Oakville Market FAQs — August 2026
Are prices going up or down?
It is mixed. The average price is down compared to last year at $1,324,472 (-6.42% YoY), but the median price actually rose to $1,200,000 (+2.56% YoY). That combination points to a market that is soft at the top end but steady in the middle.
Did sales hold up?
Yes, mostly. Overall sales dipped just 3.79% year over year to 203 transactions. Detached and freehold town sales were nearly flat, while the condo segment saw the biggest pullback at -18.60%.
What is happening with inventory?
Supply tightened noticeably. New listings fell 38.54% and active listings dropped 22.82% compared with last August. Fewer homes on the market could mean less choice for buyers heading into the fall.
Is now a good time to list?
With fewer homes competing for attention, well-priced and well-presented listings stand out more than usual. Buyers are still selective, so the right pricing strategy and marketing plan remain essential to a strong result.

I contacted Elaine regarding leasing a home in the Oakville/Burlington area. She understood my needs right away and was patient as I was contemplating buying as well. She helped me find a lovely home in Burlington and guided me through the process. Today's buying environment is competitive and Elaine helped me keep my head together.
