Dufferin County Real Estate Market: Prices and Trends

In September 2026, Dufferin County recorded 61 home sales at an average price of $803,576 and a median of $740,000. There were 216 new listings and 462 active listings at month-end. The reported sale-to-list-price ratio was 96%, and sold listings averaged 40 listing days on market. These county figures provide context; your home needs a comparison based on its municipality, property type, condition, land and current competition.

September’s 462 active listings and 61 sales show available supply alongside completed activity. This comparison alone does not establish the negotiating position for every municipality, property type or price range. Review relevant competition and actual response.

The September 2026 average was $803,576 and the median $740,000, across 61 reported sales. The county-wide figures are dated context, not a valuation of one home.

Sold listings averaged 40 LDOM in September 2026. Preparation, conditions and closing are separate milestones and can overlap; do not automatically add condition days to the reported listing period.

The September source reports a 96% ratio of average selling price to average listing price for firm transactions in its reporting period. It is not market value or a guaranteed 4% discount, and does not show performance against the first asking price.

Clear visuals, supported details and accessible records can help people understand the home and decide whether to visit. They do not financially qualify a buyer or guarantee a faster sale, stronger offer or particular price.

Across these source editions, the county average was lower in September than in July and August, while the September median was close to July’s. Sales counts and the homes sold also changed. This is a historical comparison, not evidence that every property lost value or a prediction of the next month. Prior monthly and year-to-date figures can be revised in later publications; these rows retain the values in their named source editions. The same-month county comparison also shows 61 sales in September 2026 versus 77 in September 2025, with the reported average 10.7% lower and median 7.2% lower. These aggregate comparisons use different sets of homes and do not establish an individual property’s price change. The separate HPI annual change measures a modelled benchmark, not the average or median sale.

September Orangeville recorded 33 sales at a $746,322 average, Shelburne 12 at $686,624, Mono five at $1,064,000 and Mulmur four at $1,031,750. Other municipal samples had one or two sales. Use the full table and direct comparisons; small samples are sensitive to property mix.

The public September tables show a Dufferin County Composite benchmark of $715,700, down 2.60% over one year. The detailed summary labels it Zone: Dufferin and reports the same Composite values for Orangeville. Use the published area/category labels; do not treat this as an appraisal of a rural acreage, farm or estate home. The Composite’s +1.19% one-month change and −2.60% one-year change refer to different horizons and can both be true.

Start with current relevant sales, direct competition and property records. Discuss the asking strategy, useful preparation, service scope and timing before choosing a launch date.

Discuss an evidence-based asking strategy. An unsupported price may affect response, but condition, access, presentation, reach and demand also matter. No fixed pricing rule guarantees an offer.

Gather available permits, improvement invoices, measurements, surveys, equipment contracts, utility and major-system information, plus private-service and access records where relevant. Confirm rights, lawful uses and what may be shared.

The figures provide context, but acreage and hobby farms need relevant evidence about land, buildings, services, access, permissions and condition. A county average is not an automatic adjustment for those features.

Review actual well and septic records and applicable requirements. A bacterial water result does not establish chemical safety, water supply or septic capacity. Discuss the scope of any optional investigation with qualified professionals and the actual buyer/lender requirements.

Conditions differ within each municipality and property segment. Review the September municipal table and relevant direct competition rather than rank places by assumed buyer selectivity.

Marketing cannot change overall demand or guarantee an outcome. Accurate presentation can explain relevant features; price, condition, access, records and competing choices still affect the result.

The videos demonstrate presentation and seller decision topics. An online showing can explain a home before a visit, but it is not a substitute for inspection, professional advice or financial qualification.

This version was prepared October 29, 2026, using September and January–September county/municipal results, September HPI and separate Q2 community reports. Historical monthly and Q1 comparisons keep their own date labels.

September had 462 active listings and 61 sales, about 7.6 active listings per sale. Treat that as a simple comparison, not formal months of inventory. Relevant competition, sales counts, property mix and actual response matter too.

Compare your goals, timing, carrying costs, next purchase and current alternatives. Any future price is uncertain; mortgage principal repayment differs from an expense. A forecast is not a guaranteed benefit from waiting.

Review asking position, presentation, reach, access, condition, feedback and competition. Confirm the existing brokerage agreement, expiry/cancellation and possible holdover obligations before a relaunch or brokerage change.

Request a property-specific CMA price opinion using relevant sales and current competition. Confirm its purpose, scope and limits. It is not a formal appraisal, exact value or guaranteed selling result.

Average and median describe the homes sold in a stated period; they change with the sold-home mix. HPI models a benchmark home for a named area and category. None is an address-specific appraisal, and they should not be substituted for one another.
