See Where You Fit in the 2026 London Ontario Market

Precision data for your specific situation. Because broad market advice doesn't protect your equity

Halfway through 2026, the London, Ontario real estate market carries approximately 5.4 months of citywide inventory — but individual neighbourhoods range from 3.8 to over 7 months.

 Homes in the $700,000 to $1.2 million range, priced to current market conditions in established neighbourhoods like Byron, Westmount, and Sunningdale, are still achieving within 1 to 2% of asking price. 

Homes priced on 2022 assumptions are accumulating days on market and selling for less than they would have with correct positioning from day one. 

Ty Lacroix, Broker at The Envelope Real Estate Group in London, Ontario, provides a private Market Position Overview — a neighbourhood-specific analysis of equity position and buyer behaviour — for homeowners and buyers considering a move within the next one to two years.

Outcomes now depend on price range, timing, and preparation — not headlines.

SEE WHERE YOU ACTUALLY STAND

Some homes in London are selling quickly and close to the asking price. Others are sitting for 60 or more days — even when they appear correctly priced. The difference isn't luck, and it isn't the market. It's positioning.

Before you make any move, you need to understand where you stand in this specific market — not the one described in last month's headlines.

Which best describes you right now?

What’s quietly changed

THE MARKET DIDN'T "RESET." IT REBALANCED — UNEVENLY.

In the $700,000 to $1.2 million range — where most of our clients operate — the picture is more nuanced than headlines suggest. Properly priced homes in established neighbourhoods like Byron, Westmount, and Sunningdale are moving. Homes priced on 2022 assumptions are sitting, accumulating days on market, and eventually selling for less than they would have if positioned correctly from day one.

Three things have changed that most homeowners haven't adjusted for:

  • Inventory has increased 19.8% year-over-year across the London region, giving buyers more choices and more patience
  • Buyer behaviour has shifted — today's qualified buyer in the $700k+ range has typically been watching the market for 60 to 90 days before making contact
  • The gap between asking price and final sale price has widened in overpriced segments, while well-positioned homes are still achieving within 1 to 2% of asking price

Broad advice doesn't account for any of this. Precision does.

Where People Misjudge Their Position

A COMMON ASSUMPTION RIGHT NOW:

Sellers often believe they have more negotiating room than the current data supports. Buyers often believe they have less than they do. Both assumptions lead to the same result — a decision made under the wrong conditions.

Your actual position depends on four things: property type, price band, neighbourhood, and how the home is presented relative to active competition. 

In a market where London's absorption rate sits near 15% — the dividing line between a seller's and buyer's market — those four variables determine your outcome far more than the direction of interest rates or national headlines.

Why Waiting Has a Cost

FOR A LONG TIME, WAITING FELT SAFE.

In a stable or rising market, waiting rarely hurts. In a market defined by uneven inventory and shifting buyer confidence, waiting without a clear position can quietly cost you — fewer qualified buyers as seasons change, narrowing timing windows.

If your next move has a deadline, and more competition if others in your neighbourhood decide to act at the same time.

This isn't about urgency. It's about knowing exactly where you stand before conditions change around you. 

The homeowners who move well in this market are the ones who understood their position two or three months before they needed it.

What you may not know right now is costing you options.

You know what the market looks like in general. What you don't know is where your home — your specific property type, your neighbourhood, your price range — sits inside it right now. 

That gap is exactly what buyers are using to negotiate against sellers who haven't done this work.
