Last updated: September 2026 data, published 6 October 2026. This page is refreshed every month as new figures are released.
Oakville is a buyers’ market in every segment in September 2026. Absorption fell across the board — detached homes to 13.9%, freehold townhomes to 16.5%, condo townhomes to 20.6% and apartments to 12.8% — with all four well under the 30% threshold. Benchmark prices fell in three of the four segments.
The MLS® Home Price Index tracks the benchmark price of a typical home, not the average sale price, so it gives a cleaner read on value trends than averages, which swing with the mix of homes sold.

The absorption rate indicates how fast homes are selling. It is calculated as homes sold divided by homes currently listed. Under 30% is a buyers’ market, 30% to 60% is balanced, and over 60% is a sellers’ market.
