Guelph Real Estate Market Update – September 2026 | Episode 43

Is the Guelph housing market finally stabilizing? September 2026 delivered stronger-than-expected activity, rising average home prices and some surprising differences between detached homes and condos. But the headline numbers don't tell the whole story.

In Episode 43 of the Guelph Real Estate Report, local Guelph REALTOR® Ryan Waller of the Beth & Ryan Waller Real Estate Team breaks down the latest Guelph MLS® sales statistics, explains what's happening with home prices and shares what buyers and sellers should expect heading into the final months of 2026.

September 2026 Guelph Real Estate Market Highlights:

• 134 homes sold in September, virtually unchanged from 135 in September 2025.
• Average sale price: $794,416, up approximately 1.2% year over year.
• Median sale price: $745,000, down 2% from September 2025. Why are average and median prices moving in opposite directions?
• Condo and townhouse sales increased 35%, while average prices declined approximately 8% year over year.
• Detached home prices remain comparatively stable, creating a two-speed Guelph housing market.
• Kortright East (+18.9%) and Kortright Hills (+5.5%) lead neighbourhood average-price growth year to date, while Riverside Park has experienced a significant decline influenced by its changing mix of sales.
• Year-to-date Guelph home prices are down approximately 3.3%, with condo and townhouse weakness accounting for much of the decline.

What else do we discuss?

Ryan explores why Guelph's traditionally busy spring real estate market was unusually quiet in 2026, while July, August and September performed better than expected. Did the later Labour Day holiday influence the timing of sales?

We also discuss why correctly priced homes can still attract multiple offers even in a balanced market, how today's well-informed buyers are evaluating listings, and what sellers should understand when their homes receive showings but no offers—or no showings at all.

For first-time buyers, the continued decline in condo and townhouse prices may be creating opportunities that haven't existed for several years.

Finally, Ryan shares his outlook for October, the remainder of 2026 and what a potentially more stable Guelph real estate market could look like heading into 2027.

Guelph Real Estate Report – Episode 42: Guelph Neighbourhood Performance

What’s really happening in the Guelph real estate market in 2026?

The city-wide numbers show Guelph’s average home price down roughly 4% year over year and sales down about 11%, but those headline numbers don’t tell the full story. Guelph has 18 different real estate neighbourhoods, and each one can perform very differently depending on housing type, inventory, buyer demand and the mix of homes being sold. 

In this episode of the Guelph Real Estate Report, Guelph REALTOR® Ryan Waller takes a deeper look at neighbourhood-level real estate trends across the city.

You’ll hear about:

• Guelph neighbourhoods leading in average price, including Kortright East, Kortright Hills and Downtown Guelph 
•  Why Kortright East is up roughly 15% in average price — and why that doesn’t mean every home increased 15% 
•  Why Exhibition Park, Riverside Park and Willow West are showing some of the largest declines in average sale price 
•  How the changing mix of detached homes, condos and townhouses can significantly affect neighbourhood averages 
•  The Guelph neighbourhoods with the most home sales, including Grange Road, Pineridge/Westminster and Willow West 
•  Why those three areas account for almost 40% of total Guelph home sales
•  The most stable Guelph neighbourhoods, including Kortright West, Grange Road and Dovercliffe/Old University 

One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is that average sale price does not necessarily equal a change in individual home values. If more expensive detached homes sell one year and more affordable condos sell the next, the neighbourhood average can move significantly even when comparable homes have changed much less. 

Ryan also explains why neighbourhoods such as Exhibition Park can show a large decline in average price simply because fewer higher-end homes sold, while Riverside Park and Willow West are being affected by a larger share of lower-priced condo transactions. 

If you’re buying a home in Guelph, selling a home in Guelph, relocating to Guelph, or researching Guelph neighbourhoods, this episode provides a more detailed look at what is actually happening beyond the city-wide statistics.

Is the Guelph real estate market starting to turn a corner?

In Episode 41 of the Guelph Real Estate Report, Guelph REALTOR® Ryan Waller breaks down the latest Guelph housing market data for August 2026 — including a surprising change in sales activity after seven consecutive months of slower year-over-year sales.

For the first time in 2026, August home sales in Guelph exceeded the same month in 2025, with sales up approximately 5% year over year. Prices, however, continue to tell a different story. The average Guelph home price is down approximately 4% year-to-date, and the condo and townhouse market continues to experience more price pressure than detached homes. 

Ryan looks beyond the headline numbers to discuss:

🏡 Guelph home prices and sales in August 2026
📈 Why July and August were unexpectedly strong months
💰 Detached vs. condo/townhouse prices and where values are holding up best
📊 What 3.8 months of inventory means for Guelph buyers and sellers
🤝 Why multiple-offer situations are beginning to appear again — even after homes have been on the market for weeks
🔑 How today's multiple offers differ from the bidding wars of previous markets
📍 Why Guelph neighbourhood-level real estate data can tell a very different story from the city-wide average
🗺️ How buyers can research Guelph neighbourhoods, current listings and local market conditions

Year-to-date through August, the average Guelph home price is approximately $767,000, compared with $797,000 during the same period in 2025. Detached homes have held up better, with average prices down approximately 3%, while the condo and townhouse segment is down approximately 6.4%. 

Ryan also discusses an interesting shift happening on the ground: buyers are still cautious and often waiting to see whether a home's asking price is validated by someone else — but once an offer appears, other buyers are increasingly stepping in. That has resulted in several recent multiple-offer situations, particularly among detached homes. 

The takeaway? Guelph remains a balanced market overall, but there isn't one single “Guelph market.” Detached homes, condos, townhouses and individual neighbourhoods are behaving differently — making it increasingly important to look beyond the city-wide average.

What happened in the Guelph real estate market in July 2026? Despite July typically marking the beginning of the slower summer real estate season, 143 homes sold in Guelph — nearly matching the 148 sales recorded in June. That unusual strength may be an early sign that the market is beginning to stabilize, although prices and overall sales remain below 2025 levels.

In Episode 40 of the Guelph Real Estate Report, Guelph REALTOR® Ryan Waller breaks down the latest Guelph housing market data and what it means for local buyers and sellers.

The average Guelph home price in July was approximately $756,000. Year-to-date, the average sale price is approximately $766,000, down 4% from 2025. Through July, 894 homes have sold in Guelph, roughly 13% fewer than last year and the first time in the eight years tracked that sales have remained below 1,000 at this point in the year.

Ryan also discusses:

•  Why July 2026 performed surprisingly well compared with June 
•  Why Guelph home prices could continue to soften through the rest of 2026 
•  The difference between the detached and condo/townhouse markets
•  Why today's buyers have more selection — and considerably more patience 
•  How sellers are adjusting their expectations and becoming more willing to negotiate 
•  Guelph's declining summer inventory and what it means for the market 
•  What to watch during the important September fall real estate market
•  Why waiting until spring 2027 to sell may not necessarily result in a higher sale price 
•  New neighbourhood-level analysis showing which Guelph neighbourhoods are appreciating, declining, most active and most stable

The overall picture remains favourable for buyers: more inventory, less urgency and greater negotiating power. Sellers are facing more competition and increasingly need to price according to current market conditions rather than previous years.

Ryan also shares what he and Beth are seeing firsthand with Guelph first-time home buyers, including well-prepared buyers who are ready to purchase but feel little pressure to make quick decisions.

For anyone thinking about buying a home in Guelph, selling a home in Guelph, or simply following Guelph home prices and real estate trends, this episode provides a data-driven look at where the market stands heading into the final months of 2026

Episode 34: Guelph Real Estate Market Update (March 1–15, 2026)

The Guelph real estate market is off to an unusually slow start in 2026.

In this episode, we break down the March 1–15 Guelph real estate numbers, including inventory, sales activity, and pricing trends — and how they compare to an already sluggish January and February.

Despite inventory rising to over 450 active listings, sales have not followed. In fact, sales velocity is currently trending below February levels, which is something we rarely see heading into the spring market.

We also cover:

• Why buyer activity remains low
• What’s happening in the condo vs detached markets
• Negotiation trends (most homes selling under asking)
• Micro-markets within Guelph (downtown vs south end)
• Why we may be heading toward a buyer’s market by May

If you're buying or selling in Guelph, this episode will help you understand where the market is heading — and what it means for your next move.
