About Burlington
Where are the bungalows in Burlington?
Burlington has a larger share of bungalows than most GTA West cities, and they are spread across several areas. LaSalle, in Aldershot near Hamilton Harbour, and Shoreacres, in the east end near the lake, have quiet streets of postwar bungalows. Roseland and Rose mix bungalows with larger older homes on mature lots. Closer to downtown, Brant has them too. North of the QEW, Tyandaga has sprawling bungalows near the golf course. Newer areas like Alton were built mostly with two-storey homes and townhouses.
What should I know about a rural Burlington bungalow?
North of the city, rural Burlington has bungalows on acre-size lots and larger. These homes usually run on a private well and a septic system instead of city water and sewer. Make your offer conditional on a septic inspection and a water test. Halton Region can help you test well water for bacteria at no cost. Much of this area is inside the Niagara Escarpment Plan, so building an addition, a garage or a pool can need a permit from the Niagara Escarpment Commission as well as the city. Check Conservation Halton’s mapping too, since creeks and slopes are common here. Heating may be oil or propane rather than natural gas, so ask about fuel costs.
Is a Burlington bungalow a good fit for downsizing?
Burlington is a popular place to downsize, and bungalows are a big part of why. You get one-floor living, a yard and a garage, with no condo fee or board. Walk each home with the future in mind: steps at the entrances, a main-floor laundry, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower or room to add one. Many south Burlington bungalows are close to the lakefront trails and to shops along Lakeshore Road and Plains Road. If you would rather give up the yard work, compare Burlington condos or condo townhouses, where the corporation handles outdoor upkeep.
What should I check before buying an older Burlington bungalow?
Many of Burlington’s bungalows were built fifty or more years ago. A good inspection should look at the wiring and electrical panel, the roof, the furnace, and any signs of water in the basement. Ask about past oil tanks and look for removal records. In the lakeside neighbourhoods, check the lot grading and the sump pump, since heavy rain can test older basements. Make sure past additions and finished basements have permits. Our home inspection guide explains what to expect, and our closing costs guide lists what you’ll pay on closing day.
How do I read bungalow prices in Burlington?
The live listing count and price range at the top of this page update with every MLS® sync. The Burlington detached home market report tracks sold prices and how long homes take to sell. Bungalow prices in Burlington vary widely by area. A small bungalow near the lake can cost more than a larger one farther north, and rural homes are priced on their land and setting. Compare homes in the same neighbourhood, and look at lot size alongside the house.
Burlington Home Market
As of October 2026, Burlington has 282 active detached homes for sale with a median list price of $1.4M, averaging 44 days on market. Inventory is low at 3.0 months of inventory, but homes are selling under their first asking price and prices aren't rising, so this is currently a balanced market.
Balanced market
3.0 months of inventory
Supply is low, but homes are selling under their first asking price and prices aren’t rising.
How we call the market
Inventory is low at 3.0 months of inventory, but homes are selling under their first asking price and prices aren't rising, so this is currently a balanced market. From July to September 2026, 284 detached homes sold, 109 sellers took their home off the market without relisting and 176 came back at a lower price — a 72% sell-through. Over July to September 2026, homes sold for a median 95.6% of their first asking price, and the median sold price per square foot was down 4.5% from the same months a year earlier.
What we measure, over the last three full months
- Months of inventory: homes for sale today, divided by the average number sold per month. Fewer months means less choice for buyers.
- Sell-through: of the sellers whose listing ended, the share who actually sold. A seller who takes their home off the market and doesn’t list it again within 60 days counts as not selling. A home that comes off and goes back on (often a day later, at a lower price) counts as a price cut, not a seller giving up.
- Sold vs. first asking price: what homes sold for, compared with the price they were first listed at. We follow a home back through any relists, because a relist starts a new MLS® listing and hides the earlier, higher price.
- Price trend: the median sold price per square foot, compared with the same three months a year earlier.
How the call is made
- Seller’s market: under 3 months of inventory, at least 70% sell-through, and homes selling for 98% or more of their first asking price or prices up from a year ago.
- Buyer’s market: over 6 months of inventory, or under 50% sell-through (more sellers giving up than selling).
- Balanced market: everything in between, including low inventory where sellers are cutting prices, relisting or pulling their homes.
Based on MLS® listings from TRREB. Area totals only. We don’t show a call when fewer than 10 homes sold in those three months. Relists are matched by address, so a home relisted under a differently written address counts as taken off the market. Private sales and listings not on MLS® aren’t included. This is a general guide to the area, not an appraisal or advice about a specific home.
Based on properties for sale & sold — rentals not included. Figures are a monthly rollup covering October 1–22, 2026 (month to date), refreshed with each MLS® sync — shown as of October 22, 2026.

Burlington FAQ
Which Burlington neighbourhoods have the most bungalows?
LaSalle in Aldershot, Shoreacres in the east end, Roseland and Rose in the south, Brant near downtown, and Tyandaga north of the QEW. Rural north Burlington has bungalows on large country lots.
Do rural Burlington bungalows have city water?
Most don’t. Rural homes usually use a private well and a septic system. Make your offer conditional on a septic inspection and a well water test.
Do I need a special permit to add on to a rural Burlington home?
Often. Much of rural Burlington is in the Niagara Escarpment Plan area, where additions, garages and pools can need a Niagara Escarpment Commission permit in addition to the city’s building permit.
What is a bungaloft?
A bungaloft is a bungalow with a loft or extra bedroom above part of the main floor. You keep the main bedroom on the ground floor, with space upstairs for guests or an office.
Is a bungalow or a condo better for downsizing in Burlington?
A bungalow gives you one floor with a yard and no monthly fee. A condo or condo townhouse takes care of outdoor upkeep for a monthly fee. It comes down to how much maintenance you still want to do.
