Houses vs. Condos in Georgetown: The Real Estate Split Shaping 2026

If 2025 proved anything, it’s that the GTA  and especially Georgetown doesn’t move as one big market. Different segments behaved very differently, and the widening gap between detached homes and condos has become one of the most important Georgetown real estate storylines heading into 2026.

Detached homes were the steady performers. Even with slower sales across the GTA, freehold properties held their value and continued drawing families who wanted space, yards, and long-term stability. Georgetown, with its strong schools, quiet neighbourhoods, and small-town feel, remained a top choice for buyers leaving Brampton, Mississauga, and Milton in search of more room to grow.

Condos, however, told a different story. Across the GTA, condo sales dropped more sharply than detached homes, and smaller units felt the pressure most. Higher interest rates hit first-time buyers hardest and many of them start in the condo market. Investor activity also cooled, especially in pre-construction, where delays and cancellations became increasingly common. Developers responded by shifting away from high-rise towers and toward rentals and mid-rise “missing middle” housing.

But here’s the interesting twist: the condo slowdown may actually be setting the stage for a rebound. With fewer new projects launching and many developments paused, future supply is tightening. As demand returns especially with more workers heading back to the office condo values could see upward pressure again. Rental demand is already rising across Halton Hills and the western GTA, and tight rental inventory often leads to price growth.

So, what does this mean for Georgetown buyers and sellers?

Detached homes remain the reliable backbone of the local market. Whether it’s Georgetown South, Delrex, Moore Park, or Glen Williams, freehold properties continue to attract steady demand and hold their value. Condos, on the other hand, are in a transitional moment softer today but potentially poised for opportunity as supply shrinks and affordability becomes a bigger driver in 2026.

For anyone navigating the Georgetown housing market, understanding this segment split is key. Houses offer stability. Condos offer potential upside. And in a year defined by interest rate stability and returning buyer confidence, timing your move  and your investment has never mattered more.
