Published 29 September 2026 · By Jatin Dua, Broker of Record, RE/MAX Quantum Realty
In August 2026 TRREB recorded 36 condo apartment sales in Burlington at an average of $514,550 and a median of $482,500, with units selling at 97 percent of list price on average. Burlington’s days on market were not reliably captured that month; across Halton Region the average was 43 days. There were 216 active listings, about 6.0 months of supply at that pace, and 78 new listings, a sales-to-new-listings ratio of about 46 percent, firmer than Oakville, Toronto or Mississauga. The average was only $32,050 above the median, so the median is a fair anchor for a typical unit. Where your unit sits, downtown by the lake or north near the highways, moves it more than anything else. Burlington has no municipal land transfer tax.

Burlington against Oakville and Milton
Burlington’s median of $482,500 was the lowest of Halton’s three main condo markets in August, $32,500 below Oakville’s $515,000 and $22,500 below Milton’s $505,000. The headline averages look far more different: Oakville’s $705,448 was $190,898 above Burlington’s. That is mostly Oakville’s few luxury lakefront sales; the typical units are much closer.
Burlington’s own average was only $32,050 above its median, so August’s sales were tightly bunched. For a typical Burlington condo, the $482,500 median is a sensible starting anchor, and your own layout’s recent sales take it from there. If you are weighing a move within Halton, see what condos are worth in Oakville and in Milton.
How TRREB reports Burlington
TRREB splits Toronto into lettered district codes such as W06 or C01; Burlington has none. The Market Watch reports it as one municipality in Halton Region, with Oakville, Milton and Halton Hills (together Halton’s 89 sales). MLS divides Burlington into named communities, but the table gives only the city total. In practice the market has several pieces:
- Downtown Burlington and the lakeshore. Towers and mid-rises near Brant Street, Lakeshore Road and Spencer Smith Park, with lake views and many downsizing buyers.
- Around the GO stations. Buildings near Burlington, Appleby and Aldershot GO on the Lakeshore West line draw commuters.
- Aldershot and Plains Road. West Burlington, closer to Hamilton, with a mix of older and newer buildings.
- North Burlington near the highways. Newer mid-rises near Dundas Street and Appleby Line, close to Highways 403 and 407, with smaller suites and more first-time buyers and investors.
Downtown and the lakeshore versus north Burlington
These two parts of the city sell to different people, and pricing one like the other misses.
Downtown and lakeshore buyers are often downsizing from a house. They pay a clear premium for square footage, a real second bedroom, a big balcony, a lake view and a walk to Brant Street, but they are sensitive to high fees and dated finishes. Older lakeshore buildings often have larger suites and higher fees, so the fee and reserve fund will be read closely.
North Burlington buyers are more often first-time buyers, young couples and investors. They care about the monthly cost, parking, highway and GO access, and a newer building with lower fees. A compact one-bedroom-plus-den near the 407 will usually trade below the median; a large lake-view two-bedroom downtown can trade well above it. The median is the middle of the two groups, not a description of either.
What the numbers mean for your list price
About 46 percent of new Burlington listings found buyers in August, against 38 percent in Toronto and 37 percent across TRREB. The 216 active listings were about six months of supply, and units that sold went for 97 percent of list price. Steadier than much of the GTA, but buyers still have choice.
The sale-to-list ratio counts only units that sold, against their final, sometimes reduced, price. Units priced from recent sales of the same layout sell close to asking; units listed off last year’s prices sit until cut, and a stale listing invites lower offers. Days on market were not captured for Burlington; Halton’s 43-day average is a reasonable planning assumption for a well-priced unit.
What moves your unit above or below the median
- Location. Downtown and lakeshore suites carry a premium over the same size in the north end.
- View, floor and exposure. A clear lake view is the biggest premium; units facing the QEW or a rail line sell for less.
- Size and layout. True two-bedrooms with room for a dining table outsell compact dens.
- Parking and locker. Nearly every buyer drives; no parking shrinks the pool.
- Fees. Lenders count half the monthly fee against the buyer’s debt-service ratios.
- The corporation. The status certificate discloses the reserve fund, any special assessment and any litigation.
- Condition. Updated kitchens and bathrooms matter most to downsizers.
The land transfer tax point
Burlington has no municipal land transfer tax. At Burlington’s $482,500 median, a buyer pays $6,125 in Ontario land transfer tax. The same purchase in Toronto would add another $6,125 to the City, $12,250 in total (my arithmetic from the published brackets, before any first-time buyer refunds). Oakville, Hamilton and Mississauga charge no municipal tax either, so the point matters when your buyer is leaving Toronto.
How to get an accurate number for your unit
Run the estimator below: it gives you a range for your unit in about a minute. Then ask for a broker price opinion built from the three most recent sales of your layout in your building, or in the most similar buildings nearby, adjusted for floor, view, parking and condition, and checked against what is currently listed. If nothing in your building has sold recently, see how to price a condo when nothing in your building has sold, and if you are wondering how much the online numbers can be trusted, read is the online estimate for my condo accurate.
Two tools help here: the AI condo value estimator below gives you a range in about a minute, and the net proceeds calculator turns any price into what actually lands in your account.

Three quick steps. Condos don’t price like houses — your floor, your view, and whether you own parking move the number more than anything else. This weighs all of them.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a condo worth in Burlington in 2026?
In August 2026 Burlington condo apartments sold at an average of $514,550 and a median of $482,500, according to TRREB’s Market Watch. Your unit can sit well above or below that depending on location, view, size, parking and fees.
How much is a 2 bedroom condo worth in Burlington?
TRREB does not publish municipal prices by bedroom count. A true two-bedroom usually sits above the $482,500 median, more so downtown or with a lake view; recent sales of the same layout nearby give the real answer.
Are Burlington condo prices going down?
A single month cannot show a trend. In August 2026 Burlington units sold at 97 percent of list price and about 46 percent of new listings sold, a firmer ratio than Toronto’s 38 percent.
Is now a good time to sell my condo in Burlington?
If your plans call for it, the August 2026 numbers are steadier than much of the GTA, with about six months of inventory. Buyers still have choice, so pricing from recent sales of your layout matters.
Are downtown Burlington condos worth more than north Burlington condos?
Usually, for the same size unit, because of lake views and walkability. North Burlington units near the highways appeal to commuters and first-time buyers focused on the monthly cost.
Does Burlington have a municipal land transfer tax?
No. Buyers pay only Ontario’s tax, $6,125 on a $482,500 condo, against $12,250 for the same price in Toronto.
