Bradford West Gwillimbury Real Estate Market Update – January 2026 (Sales)


Market direction: Firm buyer’s market with sharp year-over-year price compression and rising inventory.


Bradford West Gwillimbury’s freehold market weakened further in January 2026. Average sale prices fell to $912,395, down 30.5% year-over-year from $1,313,376 in January 2025. Median prices also declined 16.2% year-over-year, dropping from $1,027,500 to $861,500. Month-over-month, average prices declined 4.2%, confirming that pricing pressure is continuing into early 2026.

Sales activity remains thin. Only 20 homes sold in January 2026, down from 26 sales last January (-23.1% year-over-year) and down 33.3% month-over-month from December. Buyer participation remains muted relative to supply.

Inventory conditions continue to tilt in favour of buyers. Active listings climbed to 127, pushing months of inventory to 6.35 months, up from 3.81 months last year. This firmly places Bradford West Gwillimbury in buyer-market territory and reflects excess supply relative to demand.

Seller leverage continues to erode. 85.0% of homes sold below asking, while only 15.0% sold above list price, down from 19.2% last year. The average sale-to-list price ratio fell to 96.4%, confirming that buyers are consistently negotiating discounts.

Time on market is expanding. Average days on market rose to 55 days, up from 32 days last year (+69.5%), while median days on market jumped to 51 days, more than double last year’s 21 days. Liquidity has deteriorated meaningfully.


Bottom line: Bradford West Gwillimbury remains under sustained pricing pressure. Transaction volume is weak, inventory is elevated, and buyer leverage is firmly in control. Sellers face longer timelines and meaningful negotiation risk.



Bradford West Gwillimbury Real Estate Market Update – January 2026 (Rentals)


Market direction: Rental demand is holding, but rents are compressing and tenant leverage is improving.


Bradford West Gwillimbury’s rental market softened in January 2026. Average rent declined to $2,422, down 13.4% year-over-year from $2,797, while median rent fell 25.0% year-over-year, from $3,000 to $2,250. Month-over-month, average rent also dropped 11.8%, indicating that rental pricing pressure is accelerating.

Rental transaction volume fell to 20 leases, down 16.7% year-over-year and 20.0% month-over-month, showing that tenant demand is not absorbing supply as efficiently as last year.

Rental inventory remains elevated. Active rental listings sit at 41, with months of inventory at 2.16 months, which is balanced but trending softer as supply continues to build relative to absorption.

Landlord pricing power has weakened. 25.0% of rentals leased below asking, while only 20.0% leased above list price. The average lease-to-list ratio sits at 99.6%, indicating that landlords are increasingly having to meet market pricing.

Time on market improved modestly. Average days on market declined to 35 days, down from 38 days last year, while median days on market fell to 21 days. Well-priced rentals continue to move, but overpriced units are facing slower absorption.


Bottom line: Bradford West Gwillimbury’s rental market is still functional, but rent compression is now clear year-over-year. Tenants have more leverage, and landlords should expect more resistance to aggressive pricing.

Simple Takeaways for Buyers & Sellers (Bradford West Gwillimbury)


Buyers:
Inventory is rising, competition is limited, and most homes are selling below asking. Negotiation leverage is firmly in your favour. Buyers who remain disciplined on pricing and patient on timing are being rewarded.


Sellers:
Overpricing is leading to extended days on market and deeper discounts. The market is punishing optimistic pricing. Strategic pricing and strong presentation are now required just to stay competitive.


Investors:
Liquidity risk is elevated. Exit timelines are extending and resale values are compressing. Underwriting assumptions should reflect slower resale velocity and more conservative pricing. Rental softness further reduces margin for error.

​​​​​​​

Renters:
Rents are down meaningfully year-over-year and selection is improving. Tenants have more choice and negotiation leverage. This is a better environment to push for incentives, concessions, or better-quality units at similar pricing.
