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 2.3 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, 16 detached homes sold, 5 sellers took their home off the market without relisting and 10 came back at a lower price — a 76% sell-through. Over July to September 2026, homes sold for a median 96.6% of their first asking price, and the median sold price per square foot was down 2.6% 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 1–9, 2026 (month to date), refreshed with each MLS® sync — shown as of October 9, 2026.

Market velocity
With 3.0 months of inventory as of October 6, 2026, Alton's real estate market was a balanced market. From July to September 2026, 39 homes sold, 19 sellers took their home off the market without relisting and 18 came back at a lower price — a 67% sell-through. Supply and demand are reasonably matched, so buyers have room to negotiate and well-priced homes still sell in good time.
What this means for buyers and sellers
For buyers
At 3.0 months of inventory (as of October 6, 2026), Alton is fairly balanced — there's room to negotiate on price or conditions without losing every listing to a bidding war. Homes are selling for about 97% of asking on average, which leaves room to negotiate off the list price on most listings. Recent sales took a median of about 23 days to close, so that's roughly how long a realistically priced unit tends to stay available once it hits the market.
For sellers
At 3.0 months of inventory, pricing accurately from day one matters more than usual — overpriced listings tend to sit while realistically priced ones still move well. Median sold prices are down 12.0% year over year, so recent comparable sales matter more than last year’s numbers when you set your price.

About the Alton, Burlington market
Burlington ranks among Canada’s best places to live, wedged between the lake and the Niagara Escarpment with GO, QEW, and 407 access. Alton is one of Burlington’s active real estate submarkets, with enough sales volume each month to support a dedicated, data-grounded report rather than being folded into the city-wide figures.
The figures below track Alton specifically, across every property type — use the filter above to narrow to a segment.
Methodology
Figures on this page are compiled from TRREB/PropTx MLS® data via the site’s IDX (active listings) and VOW (closed sales) data feeds for Alton, Burlington, refreshed on every data sync.
- Median is the middle value in a sorted list of prices — half of transactions are above it, half below. It is used instead of an average because a single very high or very low sale can’t skew it.
- $/sqft is the sold or asking price divided by the unit’s square footage, as reported on the listing.
- Days on Market (DOM) is the number of days between a listing going live and it selling (or, for active listings, the number of days it has been live so far).
- Sale-to-List Ratio is the sold price as a percentage of the final asking price. Above 100% means the home sold over asking.
- Months of Inventory is how long the current active listings would take to sell through at the recent sales pace.
- Sample-size policy: sold-price figures are only published once at least 3 sold sales support them, to avoid identifying any single transaction. A figure based on fewer than 10 sales is labeled as a small sample.
