The Guelph real estate market is off to a slow start in 2026 — but what does that mean for buyers and sellers?

In this episode, Ryan Waller breaks down the first half of February and compares it to the unusually slow January we just experienced. We look at sales activity, inventory levels, detached vs condo trends, months of inventory, and what this could mean as we head toward the spring market.

If you're thinking about buying or selling a home in Guelph this year, this episode will help you understand the current market and how to prepare.

In this episode we discuss:

• Why January 2026 was one of the slowest months in recent years
 • Sales activity compared to historical February averages
 • Why buyers and sellers are waiting on the sidelines
 • Detached home market trends and pricing
 • Condo inventory and potential price pressure
 • Months of inventory and what it means for the market
 • Advice for buyers in today’s market
 • Advice for sellers and pricing strategy in 2026

Right now, the Guelph housing market is sitting in balanced territory but appears to be trending toward a buyer’s market as we move into spring.

Buyers may find increasing opportunities, while sellers need strong pricing and strategy to succeed.

Market Trend & Overall Context

• December is traditionally the slowest month of the year — this year is no exception.
• Sales are trending down ~25% compared to the same period in 2024.
• If December finishes as currently trending, 2025 total unit sales may end about 6.4% lower than 2024.
• Guelph’s market is now seen as a weak balanced market, leaning toward a buyers’ market, based on months of inventory.
  Guelph Realtors Beth & Ryan Waller

Inventory Snapshot (as of mid-December)

• 426 total homes for sale — down slightly from late November (452).
• Condo/townhouse inventory: 233
• Detached/semi detached: 193
• Months of Inventory (MOI): ~3.1 — indicating more supply relative to demand than earlier in the year.
  (This is part of why the market feels more favorable to buyers.)
