The number of homes sold through the MLS® System of the Woodstock Ingersoll Tillsonburg & Area Association of REALTORS® totaled 141 units in August 2026. This was a small gain of 1.4% (two sales) from August 2025. Residential sales haven’t hit this level in the month of August in five years. Home sales were 10.7% above the five-year average and 8.5% below the 10-year average for the month of August. On a year-to-date basis, home sales totaled 1,152 units over the first eight months of the year. This increased by 2.8% from the same period in 2025. “August brought a more typical pace to the market, with sales easing from July but still finishing slightly ahead of the same month last year and above the five year average for the month. New listings also pulled back, dipping below 300 for the first time since February, although the number of newly listed homes remained well above the historical norm for this time of year,” said Derrek de Jonge, President of the Woodstock Ingersoll Tillsonburg & Area Association of REALTORS®. “Overall inventory held steady at elevated levels, continuing to offer buyers a healthy range of options to choose from. Prices softened modestly across all housing types year over year, pulling the MLS® HPI Composite Benchmark Price slightly lower from July. With supply remaining strong and sales activity holding close to seasonal norms, market conditions continue to be relatively balanced, with buyers maintaining a slight edge. That balance should create opportunities for both buyers and sellers as we move into the fall market.” The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) tracks price trends far more accurately than is possible using average or median price measures. The overall MLS® HPI composite benchmark price was $576,800 in August 2026, a moderate decrease of 4% compared to August 2025. The benchmark price for single-family homes was $593,400, falling by 4.2% on a year-over-year basis in August. By comparison, the benchmark price for townhouse/row units was $383,500, a modest decline of 3.3% compared to a year earlier. The average price of homes sold in August 2026 was $629,833, a modest gain of 1.9% from August 2025. The more comprehensive year-to-date average price was $616,294, down modestly by 1.6% from the first eight months of 2025. The dollar value of all home sales in August 2026 was $88.8 million, a minor increase of 3.4% from the same month in 2025.
