The month in numbers
Oakville recorded 191 home sales in October 2026, up 17.9% from September and down 23.3% from October 2025. The average sale price was $1,383,011, up 1.3% month over month and 1.6% year over year; the median was $1,220,000. New listings totalled 531, down 24.0% month over month and 20.6% year over year. Month-end active listings were 1,025, down 4.5% from September and 17.8% from a year earlier. Sold listings averaged 37 listing days, five more than September and four more than October 2025. Property days, including qualifying relistings, averaged 53. The average sale-to-list price ratio was 95%. Average prices reflect the mix of homes sold and do not measure the change in every home's value.
Listing days on market comparisons show the difference in days; other comparisons show percentage changes. Missing comparison data shows “Not available”; percentage changes require a nonzero baseline. MoM compares the previous calendar month; YoY compares the same month last year.
How much choice do buyers have?
Supply indicators
36.3% · Sales-to-new-listings trend
4.9 months · Inventory trend
TRREB trend measures use 12-month moving averages.
October brought 531 new listings against 191 sales, approximately 2.8 new listings for every sale. Buyers had 1,025 active listings at month end. TRREB's sales-to-new-listings trend was 36.3% and its inventory trend was 4.9 months; both use 12-month moving averages rather than October's figures alone. Sales increased from September as new listings and active inventory fell, but sales remained below October 2025 and listing days increased. These figures suggest buyers continued to have choice, while conditions varied by neighbourhood and property type.

Detached homes accounted for 106 sales, or 55.5% of Oakville's total, at an average of $1,833,285. Attached/row townhouses recorded 33 sales averaging $977,899; condo apartments recorded 34 averaging $677,274. Semi-detached homes had five sales averaging $887,400, and condo townhouses had 11 averaging $707,545. These five categories total 189 sales; two link-home sales averaging $1,154,500 account for the remaining transactions. Small samples, particularly the five semi-detached sales, can produce volatile averages. Oakville's composite HPI benchmark was $1,148,800, down 0.29% year over year. The benchmark tracks a typical home and is distinct from the average price of homes sold.
Turning market data into a plan
For buyers
With 1,025 active listings and a 4.9-month inventory trend, buyers had room to compare homes and negotiate using recent comparable sales. Review your target neighbourhood, property type, condition and ownership costs rather than relying on town-wide averages. The 95% average sale-to-list ratio is not a guaranteed discount and is not necessarily measured against the original asking price. Sales increased from September, but the 37-day average listing period and lower year-over-year sales support a considered approach.
For sellers
Price against recent comparable sales and the homes currently competing for the same buyers. October's 191 sales were higher than September but 23.3% below a year earlier. Average listing days increased to 37, while property days including qualifying relistings averaged 53. Allow a realistic selling timeline, prepare the home carefully and monitor showing activity and feedback. The increase in average sale price does not establish that every home's value rose; property mix and small samples can affect the figures.
