The month in numbers
Oakville recorded 242 home sales in October 2024, representing $361,902,998 in total dollar volume. The average sale price was $1,495,467 and the median was $1,295,500. There were 566 new listings and 1,012 active listings at month end. Sold listings spent an average of 31 days on the market; property days on market, which include qualifying relistings, averaged 52 days. The average sale-to-list price ratio was 97%. These town-wide measures provide context; individual results depend on neighbourhood, property type, condition and asking price.
Listing days on market comparisons show the difference in days; other comparisons show percentage changes. Missing comparison data shows “Not available”; percentage changes require a nonzero baseline. MoM compares the previous calendar month; YoY compares the same month last year.
How much choice do buyers have?
Supply indicators
38.6% · Sales-to-new-listings trend
3.6 months · Inventory trend
TRREB trend measures use 12-month moving averages.
October brought approximately 2.3 new listings for every sale, with 1,012 homes available at month end. TRREB reported a 38.6% sales-to-new-listings trend and a 3.6-month inventory trend. Both measures use 12-month moving averages; the 38.6% trend is not October sales divided by October new listings, and the inventory trend is not calculated using October sales alone. The low sales-to-new-listings trend suggests conditions favourable to buyers overall, although competition can vary by neighbourhood and price range. October 2023 comparison data has not yet been added, so no year-over-year trend is inferred for October.
One town. Different markets.
| Transaction category | Sales | Average sale price |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 125 | $1,957,207 |
| Semi-Detached | 7 | $1,055,500 |
| Att/Row/Townhouse | 52 | $1,210,833 |
| Condo Townhouse | 22 | $808,386 |
| Condo Apartment | 35 | $805,336 |
Detached homes accounted for 125 sales, approximately 51.7% of Oakville's total, at an average price of $1,957,207. Attached/row townhouses recorded 52 sales at $1,210,833, condo apartments 35 at $805,336, condo townhouses 22 at $808,386, and semi-detached homes seven at $1,055,500. These five categories account for 241 of the 242 total sales; the remaining one transaction is outside the five categories shown. Average prices reflect the mix of homes sold rather than price changes for a constant property. Small samples, particularly the seven semi-detached sales, can lead to substantial fluctuations between months.
Turning market data into a plan
For buyers
Compare suitable homes and recent comparable sales within your target neighbourhood and property type. October's 1,012 active listings provide options overall, while well-positioned homes may still attract competition. The 97% sale-to-list price ratio describes average prices for sold homes, not a guaranteed discount on an individual listing or necessarily its original asking price. Evaluate condition, costs and competing alternatives before deciding on offer terms.
For sellers
Use recent comparable sales and current competing listings for the same home type to set your asking price. With 566 new listings entering the market and 1,012 active listings at month end, preparation and pricing deserve careful attention. The average 31 listing days and 52 property days support allowing a realistic selling timeline and monitoring showing activity and feedback. The town-wide average price provides context but does not replace a property-specific valuation.
