In August 2026 TRREB recorded 260 detached house sales in Brampton at a median of $947,500 and an average of $1,020,556, selling at 96 percent of list price in 34 days on average. Semi-detached houses sold at a median of $769,500 on 80 sales and freehold townhouses at $735,000 on 50 sales. TRREB’s detached HPI benchmark, its model price for a typical house, was $981,700, down 6.48 percent from August 2025, so prices were lower than a year earlier. Detached inventory was about 4.0 months and roughly 46 percent of new listings sold (my arithmetic), a balanced market. Brampton has no municipal land transfer tax, so a buyer of the median detached house pays $15,425 in Ontario tax, against $30,850 for the same price in Toronto.

Brampton is the volume market in Peel. Its 260 detached sales were about 55 percent of Peel’s 473, and it accounted for 80 of Peel’s 148 semi sales and 50 of its 73 freehold townhouse sales (my arithmetic). All three sample sizes are large enough to be useful, which is not true of most GTA municipalities in a single month. Brampton’s detached median was $102,500 below Peel’s and $241,500 below Mississauga’s $1,189,000 (my arithmetic), which is exactly why many Mississauga and Toronto buyers look here.
How TRREB reports Brampton
TRREB publishes one Brampton row; it does not split Peel into districts. That single row blends several markets:
- Downtown Brampton and the older core. Older detached houses on mature lots near the Brampton GO station and Main Street.
- Bramalea. Planned from the 1960s onward, with back-splits, semis and townhouses near Bramalea GO and Bramalea City Centre.
- Northeast and east. Springdale, Castlemore and the Vales of Castlemore, with newer, larger detached houses, some on bigger lots near the Vaughan and Caledon edges.
- West and northwest. Credit Valley, Fletcher’s Meadow, Mount Pleasant and the Heart Lake area, with a mix of newer subdivisions and the Mount Pleasant GO station.
A four-bedroom house in Castlemore and a three-bedroom back-split in Bramalea are not competing for the same buyer, even though both sit inside the $947,500 median.
Are Brampton house prices going down? The HPI benchmark
The MLS® Home Price Index benchmark is TRREB’s model price for a typical home with fixed features. It is not a sale; it shows direction better than a monthly median because the house is held constant.
| HPI benchmark, August 2026 | Brampton | Change vs Aug 2025 | Peel Region | Change vs Aug 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | $981,700 | −6.48% | $1,117,000 | −6.17% |
| Attached (semi) | $760,100 | −5.94% | $805,400 | −5.77% |
| Townhouse | $581,600 | −6.44% | $668,200 | −6.66% |
| All home types (composite) | $834,800 | −5.80% | $871,200 | −5.23% |
Source: TRREB Market Watch, August 2026, MLS® HPI. TRREB’s townhouse benchmark is its own category and does not line up exactly with the freehold townhouse sales table.
The typical Brampton detached house was modelled 6.48 percent lower than a year earlier, slightly more than Peel’s 6.17 percent and more than the City of Toronto’s 4.33 percent. August’s actual detached median, $947,500, was $34,200 below the benchmark (my arithmetic), which is normal month-to-month noise. For a broader view, see will Toronto house prices drop in 2027.
What the numbers mean for your list price
Brampton had 1,051 detached houses for sale against 260 sales, about 4.0 months of inventory, and 570 new listings, a sales-to-new-listings ratio of about 46 percent (my arithmetic). That was a little firmer than Peel as a whole (4.8 months, 44 percent) and the TRREB area (4.7 months, 43 percent). Semis were firmer still: about 2.9 months of inventory, with about 52 percent of new listings selling. Freehold townhouses sat at about 4.5 months and 43 percent.
Detached houses sold at 96 percent of list price. That average counts only houses that sold, against their final list price, which was often reduced. In a balanced market, buyers compare your house with the three or four similar ones on the market that week. A house priced from recent comparable sales sells close to asking; one priced from last year’s high sits. Plan on about a month on market. If your house has been listed a while without offers, read why a house is not selling; the causes are the same in Brampton.
What moves your house above or below the Brampton median
- Detached, semi or townhouse. In August the detached median was $178,000 above the semi median and $212,500 above the freehold townhouse median (my arithmetic). A detached house on a wider lot sits well above either.
- Lot frontage and depth. Many newer Brampton subdivisions have narrow lots; a wider lot, a corner lot or a pie-shaped lot with a large yard stands out. In the older core, depth and mature trees matter.
- Basement and second unit. This is a big one in Brampton. A finished basement with a separate entrance appeals to buyers who plan to rent it or house family. Whether it is a legal second unit, built with permits and registered with the City where required, changes what a buyer and their lender will count. Have the paperwork ready.
- Garage and parking. Many buyers need parking for three or four cars. A double garage and a wide driveway help; a single-car garage on a narrow lot limits the pool.
- Renovation level. Updated kitchens, bathrooms and flooring, and a basement finished to a good standard, move a house toward the top of its sub-area.
- Sub-area and street. A quiet crescent backing onto a park or ravine outsells a house on a busy collector road. Castlemore and Credit Valley sit at the top of the range; much of Bramalea sits lower.
- Schools. Buyers check catchments early; confirm yours with the school board.
- Transit and highways. Walking distance to a GO station on the Kitchener line (Bramalea, Brampton, Mount Pleasant) or a Züm rapid bus route, and quick access to Highways 410, 407 and 401, widen the buyer pool.
- Age and big systems. Roof, windows, furnace and air conditioning, electrical panel and plumbing. In Bramalea many houses date from the 1960s and 1970s; in newer areas, buyers ask about any remaining builder warranty.
The land transfer tax point
Brampton has no municipal land transfer tax; Toronto does. At Brampton’s $947,500 detached median, a buyer pays $15,425 in Ontario land transfer tax. The same price in Toronto would add another $15,425 to the City, $30,850 in total (my arithmetic from the published brackets, before first-time buyer refunds of up to $4,000 provincially and $4,475 in Toronto). At the $769,500 semi median, the Ontario tax is $11,865.
Many first-time buyers look at Brampton semis and townhouses. At those prices the provincial refund of up to $4,000 covers a meaningful share of the tax, and there is no second municipal bill. If your buyer pool includes Toronto renters, say so in your marketing. Check any figure with the land transfer tax calculator.
How to get an accurate number for your house
The city median is a starting line, not your price. Your MPAC assessment is not a guide either: 2026 property taxes are still based on 1 January 2016 values.
Two tools help here: the AI home value estimator below gives you a range for your house in about a minute, and the net proceeds calculator turns any price into what actually lands in your account.
Then get a broker price opinion: a comparative market analysis built from recent sales of houses like yours in your part of Brampton, adjusted for lot, basement and second unit, garage, renovation level and condition, and checked against what is for sale now.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a detached house worth in Brampton in 2026?
In August 2026 TRREB recorded 260 detached sales in Brampton at a median of $947,500 and an average of $1,020,556. TRREB’s HPI benchmark for a typical detached house was $981,700. Larger houses in Castlemore or Credit Valley sell above those figures and older back-splits in Bramalea below; recent sales near you give the real answer.
Are house prices going down in Brampton?
Compared with a year earlier, yes. TRREB’s detached HPI benchmark for Brampton was $981,700 in August 2026, down 6.48 percent from August 2025. The semi benchmark fell 5.94 percent and the townhouse benchmark 6.44 percent. One month of data cannot tell you where prices go next.
What is the average price of a semi-detached house in Brampton?
In August 2026, 80 semi-detached houses sold in Brampton at an average of $774,246 and a median of $769,500, at 98 percent of list price in 28 days on average. Semis were the firmest part of Brampton’s market, with about 2.9 months of inventory (my arithmetic).
How long does it take to sell a house in Brampton?
In August 2026 Brampton detached houses averaged 34 days on market, semis 28 days and freehold townhouses 31 days. Those averages include only the houses that sold; with about four months of detached inventory, an overpriced house can take much longer.
Is now a good time to sell my house in Brampton?
It depends on your plans. In August 2026 about 46 percent of new detached listings sold and there were about 4.0 months of supply (my arithmetic), slightly firmer than Peel overall. Prices were lower than a year earlier, so price from recent sales, not from 2025 memories.
Does a basement apartment increase my house value in Brampton?
It can widen your buyer pool, especially among buyers who want rental income or space for family. TRREB does not publish a premium for it. What matters is whether the unit was built with permits and meets the rules for a second unit, because buyers’ lawyers and lenders will ask.
