The number of homes sold through the MLS® System of the Woodstock Ingersoll Tillsonburg & Area Association of REALTORS® totaled 163 units in July 2026. This decreased by 7.4% (13 sales) from July 2025.

On a year-to-date basis, home sales totaled 1,011 units over the first seven months of the year. This was a modest gain of 3% from the same period in 2025.

“After a stronger-than-usual start to the summer, July sales returned to levels more consistent with long-term seasonal patterns. At the same time, the number of newly listed homes remained robust, giving buyers a healthy range of options and helping keep market conditions relatively balanced with only a slight tilt in favour of buyers,” said Derrek de Jonge, President of the Woodstock Ingersoll Tillsonburg & Area Association of REALTORS®. “The MLS® HPI Composite Benchmark price continued to hold within a narrow range despite being lower than a year ago, a sign that pricing remains stable rather than seeing any dramatic shifts this year. With conditions relatively stable, both buyers and sellers are in a position to make thoughtful, well informed choices.”
