Guelph & Tri-City Housing Market Stats – 2025 Year In Review
In Guelph, 2025 marked a clear period of recalibration. Sales slowed across every housing type as buyers and sellers adjusted to affordability constraints and higher borrowing costs, which led to a shift in supply and demand. Detached home sales fell to 938 units, down from 1,472 in 2024. Semi-detached and townhome sales declined to 439, while condo sales eased to 250.

This wasn’t necessarily a sign of market weakness, but rather a pause after several years of irregular activity. Detached homes still led the market but felt the greatest pressure from rising ownership costs. Townhomes and semis saw more selective demand, while condo buyers benefited from significantly increased inventory and more time to make decisions.
Despite price declines across all housing types, the overall median sale price for all homes was essentially flat. The reason? A shift in the mix of homes sold throughout the year, which balanced out the declines at the segment level.
Heading into 2026, early signs of stabilization are emerging. Interest rates are currently expected to hold steady or ease slightly, which should support renewed buyer confidence. Detached homes may regain momentum, but townhomes and condos are likely to remain the most active segments as affordability continues to guide decisions.
Overall, 2026 is shaping up to be a year of stability and strategic opportunity, rewarding informed buyers and sellers who adapt early to changing market conditions.
