The month in numbers
Oakville recorded 138 home sales in January 2025, representing $186,649,284 in total dollar volume. The average sale price was $1,352,531 and the median was $1,244,250. There were 606 new listings and 804 active listings at month end. Sold listings spent an average of 35 days on the market; property days on market, which include qualifying relistings, averaged 55 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.

35.5% · Sales-to-new-listings trend

TRREB trend measures use 12-month moving averages.
January brought approximately 4.4 new listings for every sale, with 804 homes available at month end. TRREB reported a 35.5% sales-to-new-listings trend and a 4.0-month inventory trend. Both measures use 12-month moving averages; the inventory trend is not calculated using January sales alone. The available selection and low sales-to-new-listings trend suggest conditions favourable to buyers overall, although competition can vary by neighbourhood and price range. Compared with January 2024, sales fell 8.0%, the average sale price fell 6.8%, new listings rose 106.8%, and active listings rose 119.7%. Average listing days decreased by five days. Average prices reflect the mix of sales rather than changes in the value of a constant property.
One town. Different markets.
| Transaction category | Sales | Average sale price |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 56 | $1,853,519 |
| Semi-Detached | 6 | $1,227,317 |
| Att/Row/Townhouse | 36 | $1,220,150 |
| Condo Townhouse | 10 | $787,058 |
| Condo Apartment | 30 | $789,745 |
Detached homes accounted for 56 sales, approximately 40.6% of Oakville's total, at an average price of $1,853,519. Attached/row townhouses recorded 36 sales at $1,220,150, condo apartments 30 at $789,745, condo townhouses 10 at $787,058, and semi-detached homes six at $1,227,317. These five categories account for all 138 sales and reconcile to the total dollar volume of $186,649,284. Average prices reflect the mix of homes sold rather than price changes for a constant property. Small samples, particularly the six 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. January's available inventory offers meaningful choice 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 606 new listings entering the market, preparation and pricing deserve careful attention. The average 35 listing days and 55 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.
