The Georgetown Real Estate Market Just Shifted, and No One’s Talking About It

The Georgetown real estate market is quietly changing in early 2026. While the GTA housing market has dipped below the one‑million‑dollar mark for the first time in five years,  Halton Hills real estate remains surprisingly resilient. 

Across our local communities: Georgetown, Acton, Glen Williams, and rural Halton Hills, homes are still selling, prices are steady, and motivated buyers are out there. But beneath the surface, something has definitely shifted.

Here’s what’s happening and what it means if you’re thinking about buying or selling this year.

Halton Hills Is Outperforming the GTA

The average home price in Halton Hills remains higher than the GTA’s average, even as overall regional prices slide. That says a lot about buyer confidence and the long‑term appeal of this community.

With strong schools, small‑town charm, and close proximity to larger job markets, Halton Hills continues to attract both local move‑up buyers and those relocating from the GTA in search of more space.

It’s still a good time to buy? If you can find the right property at the right price.

Georgetown Real Estate Market Update: February 2026

In  Georgetown, the average home price is about $1,032,000. Homes are reporting an average of 36 days on market, though that figure doesn’t reflect the reality that many listings are terminated and re‑listed, resetting the clock. 

What’s notable is that older listings are beginning to move, not because demand spiked, but because sellers adjusted pricing to match market expectations. At the same time, inventory levels remain low enough to keep prices stable.

Well‑priced homes are still selling quickly. Overpriced ones are sitting.

Acton Real Estate, A Smart Entry Point

The Acton housing market continues to offer attractive opportunities for first‑time buyers and downsizers. 
The average price sits at  $797,389, and with detached homes and townhomes available under one million, Acton’s value proposition is strong.

Currently, there are 19 active listings, starting around $400,000 for condo apartments and moving up to roughly $2 million for homes with acreage or development potential. 
If you’re looking for affordability within Halton Hills, Acton deserves a serious look.

Glen Williams: Boutique Market, Big Appeal

Picturesque Glen Williams remains one of the most desirable neighbourhoods in Halton Hills. 
The average price sits around $1,727,500, with properties typically selling in about 36 days. 

Only 8 homes are currently on the market, with entry prices near  $850,000 and estate properties reaching $2.8 million.
This small, character‑filled community attracts discerning buyers who value charm, craftsmanship, and village life close to nature.

 Rural Halton Hills, Room to Grow

Demand remains steady for rural Halton Hills properties, buyers looking for space, privacy, or long‑term land opportunities. 
The average price is $1,310,431 , with homes spending an average of 46 days on the market.

Smaller homes in rural settings can list near the million‑dollar range, but larger estates and development parcels can reach $10 million or more.

This segment has maintained momentum thanks to limited inventory and continued demand for acreage.

Current Halton Hills Real Estate Inventory Snapshot

Across all of Halton Hills, there are currently 164 active listings. Here’s how that breaks down:

Georgetown:91 homes for sale: prices range from $450,000 for condos up to $2.6 million for executive estates. 
- Acton:19 listings, starting around $400,000 and climbing to just under $2 million. 
- Glen Williams: 8 listings, entry price near $850,000, top end near $2.8 million.

As we move toward spring, expect active listings to rise, giving buyers more options and sellers more competition, especially as the snow starts to melt and the March and April markets heat up.

What This Market Shift Really Means

The Georgetown housing market hasn’t crashed, it’s evolved. 
This is a shift toward normalization: a healthier, balanced environment where pricing, strategy, and negotiation matter again.

Buyers are more cautious, but they’re still buying. Sellers are more realistic, but homes are still selling. 
It’s not boom or bust: it’s balance.

Expert Advice for Buyers and Sellers in 2026

Now is your window to negotiate strategically. Inventory is manageable, competition is calmer, and sellers are open to fair offers. Be patient, stay pre‑approved, and move fast when the right home appears.
