After one of the slowest years the GTA has seen in decades, 2026 is opening with something
Georgetown hasn’t felt in a while: steady, grounded optimism. The GTA logged just over 62,000
sales in 2025 — a 25year low — yet prices barely budged. That resilience mattered here in
Halton Hills too, where values held firm even as activity cooled and buyers took a breather.
Georgetown entered 2026 with more inventory than it’s seen in years. New listings have been
climbing, and homes are taking roughly 40–45 days to sell — a far cry from the biddingwar
chaos of 2021, but also nowhere near a downturn. With saletolist ratios hovering around 95%,
buyers have room to negotiate while sellers still protect their equity. It’s the closest thing to a
balanced market this town has experienced in a long time.
And that balance is creating opportunity.

Across Georgetown South, moveup buyers are finally able to shop without feeling rushed. In
Delrex and Moore Park, townhomes are drawing steady interest from firsttimers priced out of
Mississauga and Brampton. Downtown Georgetown continues to attract buyers who want
walkability and character, while Glen Williams and Limehouse remain magnets for those craving
rural charm without giving up GOtrain access.

National forecasts call for modest sales growth this year, and Ontario is expected to lead that
push. Locally, the early signs match the mood: more showings, more serious buyers returning
after sitting out 2025, and a general sense that stability — not speculation — is driving decisions
again. With interest rates expected to hold steady through early 2026, that confidence has room
to build.

For Georgetown homeowners, this moment is rare. Prices stayed strong through the slowdown,
inventory has opened up choices, and the frantic pace of the pandemic market has given way to
something far more strategic. Sellers can list without fear of a price slide. Buyers can take their
time and negotiate. Families looking to upsize within town can actually plan their move instead
of scrambling.

2026 isn’t roaring back, and that’s exactly why it’s promising. Georgetown thrives in steady
markets — the kind where thoughtful decisions outperform bold bets. If last year was the pause,
this year is the quiet, confident step forward.
