Oakville Market Update: July 2026

Share This Post:

Oakville continues to command some of the highest prices in the Greater Toronto Area, and July 2026’s completed numbers show a market that picked up real momentum. Here is a full breakdown of what happened in Oakville last month, from Ryan and Vicky Urban and the Urban Group Realty team.

Oakville Home Prices in July 2026

Residential homes in Oakville sold for an average of $1,569,450 in July 2026, up 15.8% from July 2025. The median sale price was $1,144,750, down 5.4% year over year. The gap between those two figures suggests a stronger share of higher-priced homes closing this July, pulling the average up while the typical sale price actually softened.

Oakville Sales Activity and Inventory

Sales activity was the standout number: 98 residential homes sold in Oakville in July 2026, up 30.7% from 75 sales in July 2025. New listings were down 11.6% to 160, and ending inventory dropped 15.4% to 523. Homes sold slightly faster too, with average days on market down 2.7% to 36 days and median days on market down 5.0% to 29 days.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

A 30.7% jump in sales against a shrinking supply of new listings is a meaningful shift. Buyers are showing up in greater numbers even as fewer new options come to market, which tends to sharpen competition on well-priced homes. Sellers who have been waiting for confirmation that demand is real now have a completed month of data to point to.

Are Oakville home prices going up or down?

With sales up sharply and inventory down 15.4%, conditions are tilting toward sellers, particularly for move-in ready homes in sought-after neighbourhoods.
