Halton Hills prices eased in 2026. The median detached home sold for $1,000,000 from January to October, down 8.3% from 2025 and 9.1% from 2024, in TRREB MLS data via REALM. October was steadier, with an all-types median of $960,000, flat on a year earlier. Forecasters expect small Ontario gains in 2027.
This guide is for owners, buyers and investors in Georgetown, Acton and the rest of Halton Hills who want real numbers before a 2027 move. You will find every home type over two years, what happened in October 2026, how fast homes are selling, the large Vision Georgetown plan that will add thousands of homes, and what forecasters expect.
What is happening in the Halton Hills housing market right now?
Halton Hills held steadier than the GTA as a whole in October 2026, at least on price. Across all TRREB areas, the median fell 4.4% from October 2025. TRREB recorded 59 sales across all home types, almost the same as the 62 in October 2025. The median price was $960,000, essentially flat from $962,500 a year earlier, and the average rose 1.2% to $1,054,658. Sellers received 97% of their asking price on average.
The bigger change was on the supply side. New listings dropped 23.0% to 124, yet homes took longer to sell: 32 days on average, up from 24. Months of inventory, which is how long it would take to sell every listed home at the current pace, rose from 3.8 to 4.2.
| Measure | October 2025 | October 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales | 62 | 59 | -4.8% |
| Average price | $1,041,898 | $1,054,658 | +1.2% |
| Median price | $962,500 | $960,000 | -0.3% |
| New listings | 161 | 124 | -23.0% |
| Months of inventory | 3.8 | 4.2 | +0.4 |
| Average days to sell | 24 | 32 | +8 days |

One month is a small window in a town this size. The year-to-date numbers give a clearer picture. From January to October 2026, Halton Hills had 522 sales across all home types, down 13.3% from the same months of 2025, and the median price was $890,000, down 9.6%.
How much do homes cost in Halton Hills in 2026, by home type?
Most home types sold for less in 2026 than in 2025, and every type sold for less than in 2024. Here are the median sold prices for January to October of each year.
| Home type | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | 1-year change | 2-year change | Sales in 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | $1,100,000 | $1,089,950 | $1,000,000 | -8.3% | -9.1% | 389 |
| Semi-detached | $926,500 | $815,000 | $827,500 | +1.5% | -10.7% | 19 |
| Freehold townhouse | $895,000 | $875,500 | $817,500 | -6.6% | -8.7% | 54 |
| Condo townhouse | $624,500 | $602,000 | $580,000 | -3.7% | -7.1% | 39 |
| Condo apartment | $625,000 | $585,000 | $570,000 | -2.6% | -8.8% | 19 |
Source: TRREB MLS data via REALM, median sold price and number of sales, January to October of each year (2026 vs the same period of 2025 and 2024).
The headline number is the detached median: exactly $1,000,000, down $100,000 or 9.1% from 2024. Detached homes made up about three of every four sales in Halton Hills in 2026, so they drive the whole market. Freehold townhouses fell to $817,500, and condo townhouses and condo apartments both sit under $600,000.
What does the MLS Home Price Index say?
TRREB’s Home Price Index follows a “benchmark” home with typical features. In October 2026, the Halton Hills composite benchmark was $974,200, down 5.14% from a year earlier. The detached benchmark was $1,068,000 (down 5.12%), single-family attached $772,200 (down 4.09%), townhouse $529,800 (down 4.42%) and apartment $502,400 (down 7.60%). Prices are lower than a year ago on both measures.
Why do Halton Hills prices jump around so much?
Because the market is small. Only 19 semis and 19 condo apartments sold from January to October 2026. With so few sales, one large semi or one small condo can move the median by tens of thousands of dollars. That is why the semi median shows a 1.5% rise for 2026 even though it is still 10.7% below 2024.
The town is also really several markets. TRREB’s community report splits Halton Hills into Georgetown, Acton, Glen Williams, Limehouse, Stewarttown and rural areas such as Esquesing. Georgetown is by far the biggest market, with 126 of the town’s 177 sales in the second quarter of 2026. Acton came next with 26. Glen Williams, Limehouse and the rural areas each had fewer than ten sales in that quarter, so a town-wide number tells you little about them.
Before you price or buy, look at sales of similar homes in the same community over the last three to six months. My guide to the best neighbourhoods in Halton Hills explains how Georgetown and Acton areas differ.
How fast are homes selling in Halton Hills?
Sales across the five main home types fell 13.5% in 2026, to 520 from 601, and homes are taking a few more days to sell than in 2024.
| Home type | Sales 2024 / 2025 / 2026 | Avg days on market 2024 / 2025 / 2026 | Active listings, end of October 2026 | Months of supply (my estimate) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 467 / 446 / 389 | 24 / 30 / 29 | 200 | 5.1 |
| Semi-detached | 29 / 31 / 19 | 23 / 18 / 20 | 5 | 2.6 |
| Freehold townhouse | 56 / 62 / 54 | 17 / 20 / 27 | 22 | 4.1 |
| Condo townhouse | 56 / 37 / 39 | 18 / 22 / 27 | 12 | 3.1 |
| Condo apartment | 23 / 25 / 19 | 43 / 39 / 36 | 9 | 4.7 |
Source: TRREB MLS data via REALM, January to October 2024, 2025 and 2026. Months of supply is my own estimate: active listings at the end of October divided by average monthly sales in 2026.
Detached homes have the most supply: 200 listed at the end of October against about 39 sales a month, or roughly five months. That leans toward buyers. In October alone, 44 detached homes sold at a median of $1,144,500 and 97% of asking, and they took 34 days on average. Semis and condo townhouses are tighter, but one or two new listings can change that quickly.

How much new housing is coming to Halton Hills?
Under Ontario’s housing targets, Halton Hills is expected to build 9,500 homes from 2022 to 2031. So far it is well behind. The province counted 293 new homes in 2024 against a target of 792 for that year, or 37%, and 679 homes in total since 2022.
The biggest piece of future supply is Vision Georgetown. The town’s approved secondary plan covers about 412 hectares in southwest Georgetown, bounded by 15 Side Road, Trafalgar Road, 10 Side Road and Eighth Line/Main Street. It plans for about 9,342 homes and 23,800 residents, with 2,400 jobs. The housing mix is about 2,287 low-density homes, 4,012 medium-density homes such as townhouses, and 3,043 high-density homes such as apartments. The plan was adopted by council in 2018, approved by Halton Region with changes in 2020, and further modified by the Ontario Land Tribunal in 2023.
What this means for you: the town’s housing mix will change over the next decade, with many more townhouses and apartments than Halton Hills has today. For buyers, that should mean more choice at lower price points over time. For owners of older detached homes, the plan adds relatively few new detached lots, which in my view should help that kind of home keep its appeal. That is my opinion, not a forecast.
What is the Halton Hills real estate forecast for 2027?
No major forecaster publishes a Halton Hills-only forecast that I could verify. Here is what the published outlooks say, as of November 2026.
- Bank of Canada (28 October 2026): raised its policy rate by 0.25 points to 2.50%, its first increase in more than three years, to keep high energy prices from spreading into other prices. It expects inflation of about 3% on average in 2027, said housing will stay relatively weak, and said rates could need to rise further.
- TD Economics (29 September 2026): Ontario sales up 7.4% in 2027 after a 3.0% drop in 2026, and Ontario average prices up only 0.6% in 2027 after a 2.6% drop.
- CREA (16 October 2026): national sales up 4.4% in 2027 to 464,235 and the national average price up 1.2%. CREA expects price gains under 2% in most provinces, including Ontario, after a 3% dip in Ontario’s average price in 2026.
The TD and CREA forecasts came out before the October hike. If rates rise again on 9 December 2026 or early in 2027, the rebound they describe could be delayed.
My own view, and only my view: I expect Halton Hills to be a flat year in 2027, with detached prices around the $1 million mark and more negotiating room for buyers than sellers would like. Falling new listings could firm things up by spring if rates stop rising.
Is 2027 a good time to buy in Halton Hills?
For a buyer with steady income, Halton Hills has the lowest detached median in Halton Region at $1,000,000, compared with $1,130,000 in Milton, $1,249,750 in Burlington and $1,625,000 in Oakville, based on TRREB MLS data via REALM. At that price the minimum down payment on an insured mortgage is $75,000: 5% of the first $500,000 plus 10% of the next $500,000. You must also pass the stress test at the higher of 5.25% or your contract rate plus two points.
Rates are the risk. After the 28 October hike, the big banks raised prime from 4.45% to 4.70%, so variable-rate mortgages went up right away. By my own arithmetic, each 0.25-point rise adds about $14 a month for every $100,000 borrowed on a 25-year amortization. On a $925,000 mortgage, that is about $130 a month.
In a small town like this, the best deals come from patience and local data, not from waiting for a headline. Get a pre-approval with a rate hold, then watch your target community for a few weeks so you know what a fair price looks like. When a detached home has been listed for a month or more, that is often your best chance to negotiate. If you are comparing towns, my Milton vs Georgetown comparison sets the two side by side.
Should I sell my Halton Hills home in 2027 or wait?
If you need to sell in 2027, you can. Buyers are active at the right price, and sellers received 97% of asking in October. The key is pricing against 2026 sales of similar homes in your own community, not the 2024 peak. A detached home priced as if the median were still $1,100,000 will likely sit.
If you are downsizing, the gap between a detached home at about $1 million and a condo townhouse at $580,000 is large, and it has not narrowed much. My guide to retiring in Milton or Halton Hills covers the downsizing choices. If you are choosing who should sell your home, read how to choose a realtor in Georgetown.
With few sales, a single comparable sale can mislead you. If an online estimate or a neighbour’s sale price looks too good, check what else sold nearby, the condition of each home, and how long it took to sell. Overpricing in a slow, small market usually costs more than it gains.
What to do next
- Find your home type in the tables above, then look at sales in your own community: Georgetown, Acton, Glen Williams or rural Halton Hills.
- Get a mortgage pre-approval with a rate hold before the Bank of Canada decision on 9 December 2026.
- If you are selling, price against 2026 sales and current listings, and plan for about a month on the market.
- If you are buying, test your budget at a rate one point above your quote.
- Use the estimator on this page for a starting value, then ask for a full comparative market analysis.

Frequently asked questions
Are house prices going down in Halton Hills?
Yes, over the year. The median detached home in Halton Hills sold for $1,000,000 from January to October 2026, down 8.3% from 2025 and 9.1% from 2024, based on TRREB MLS data via REALM. October 2026 was steadier: the all-types median was $960,000, almost the same as in October 2025, according to TRREB.
Will house prices go up in Halton Hills in 2027?
No published forecast covers Halton Hills alone as of November 2026. TD Economics expects Ontario average prices to rise only 0.6% in 2027, and CREA expects gains under 2% in most provinces. With the Bank of Canada raising rates in October 2026, a flat year in Halton Hills is a reasonable planning case, not a guarantee.
How much is a house in Georgetown, Ontario in 2026?
TRREB does not publish a Georgetown-only median, so the closest verified figure is for all of Halton Hills: the median detached home sold for $1,000,000 from January to October 2026, based on TRREB MLS data via REALM. Georgetown is the largest part of Halton Hills, so most of those sales are there, but prices vary by street and lot.
What is the average home price in Halton Hills?
The average price for all home types in Halton Hills was $990,813 from January to October 2026, according to TRREB’s October 2026 Market Watch. In October 2026 alone, the average was $1,054,658 and the median was $960,000. Detached homes make up most sales, so the average sits close to the detached price.
How long does it take to sell a house in Halton Hills?
A Halton Hills detached home took 29 days on average to sell from January to October 2026, based on TRREB MLS data via REALM, up from 24 days in 2024. In October 2026, homes of all types took 32 days on average, up from 24 days a year earlier, according to TRREB’s Market Watch.
Is Halton Hills a buyer’s market?
For detached homes, it leans toward buyers in late 2026. By my estimate there were about five months of detached supply at the end of October, based on TRREB MLS data via REALM. Across all home types, TRREB reported 4.2 months of inventory in October 2026, up from 3.8 a year earlier, and sellers received 97% of asking.
How much is a townhouse in Halton Hills?
The median freehold townhouse in Halton Hills sold for $817,500 from January to October 2026, down 6.6% from 2025, based on TRREB MLS data via REALM. Condo townhouses were cheaper, at a median of $580,000. Both are small markets, with 54 and 39 sales in that period, so individual prices vary widely.
What is Vision Georgetown?
Vision Georgetown is the Town of Halton Hills’ approved plan for a new community in southwest Georgetown. It covers about 412 hectares between 15 Side Road, Trafalgar Road, 10 Side Road and Eighth Line/Main Street, and plans for about 9,342 homes and 23,800 residents. It mixes detached homes, townhouses and apartments.
How much down payment do I need for a house in Halton Hills?
At the 2026 Halton Hills detached median of $1,000,000, the minimum down payment is $75,000. In Canada, insured mortgages need 5% of the first $500,000 and 10% of the amount from $500,000 to $1.5 million. Homes priced at $1.5 million or more need at least 20% down, and buyers must still pass the stress test.
