Open houses in Oakville
This page lists every Oakville home with a public open house coming up, straight from the MLS® feed. Most are detached homes and townhouses in family areas like Glen Abbey, River Oaks and Joshua Creek. South of the QEW, you'll also find open houses on older streets near the lake, such as Old Oakville and Bronte.
Go with your own agent
It's best to go to an open house with an agent rather than on your own. The agent hosting the open house represents the seller and works in the seller's best interest. An agent who represents you works for you and your best interest. Open any listing below and use its contact form to tell us the day and time you'd like to go. We'll be happy to meet you there and walk through the open house with you.
What to check at an Oakville open house
In older homes south of the QEW, ask about the age of the roof, windows and furnace, and whether the house has a heritage designation. A designation can limit what you're allowed to change. Many lots back onto ravines or creeks, so ask about drainage and any conservation rules for the back of the lot. In newer north Oakville areas, ask which school the address is zoned for, since boundaries shift as new schools open.
Want a sense of prices before you go? The Oakville market report shows what homes are selling for and how fast. If you're after a condo, browse the Oakville condo building directory, since condo units are usually shown by appointment.
An open house is a first look, not a home inspection. Before you buy, read our home inspection guide and learn how offer conditions protect you. Can't make it on the weekend? Ask us to book a private showing, or browse all Oakville homes for sale.
When are most open houses in Oakville?
Most run on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, usually for two hours. New ones tend to be added late in the week, so check back on Thursday or Friday.
Is it OK to visit an Oakville open house if I haven't sold my home yet?
Yes. Open houses are a good way to learn what your budget buys in different parts of town. When you get serious, ask about buying before you sell, since that affects which offer conditions make sense for you.
Why are there so few condo apartment open houses?
Many condo buildings limit open houses because of security and elevator rules, so condo apartments are usually shown by private appointment. Townhouses and detached homes make up most open houses.
