January 2026 Market Update | Buyers are Back

Описание: January 2026 is giving us a clear look at where the real estate market stands, both in Halton Hills and across the Greater Toronto Area.

While overall GTA activity remains lower than this time last year, we are seeing something important locally: more buyers returning to the market and some homes receiving multiple offers when priced correctly.

In this update, Michelle Bell breaks down:

• What is happening in Halton Hills right now
• Why buyer confidence is shifting
• January 2026 GTA sales and price trends
• What this market means for buyers
• What sellers need to understand about pricing and strategy

The overall GTA numbers show lower year-over-year activity and adjusted pricing, but the story behind those numbers is more nuanced. Buyers who are financially ready are moving forward. Sellers who align with today’s market are seeing results.

This is not a market driven by urgency. It is a market driven by preparation and clarity.

If you are planning a move in 2026, understanding how today’s conditions affect your home value and options is key.
