The read on Brant

What's moving. Detached homes are up 2.1% in a year, while condo townhouses fell 5.0% and condo apartments 6.2%. Downtown has more condos than most areas, which weighs on the overall figure.

The pace. Buyers had more choice here than anywhere else in Burlington this spring: 265 new listings and 134 homes for sale at the end of June, against 104 sales. Homes sold for 96% of asking on average, the lowest share in the city alongside the rural area.

What it means. This is the clearest buyers' area in the city right now, especially for condos. Detached owners are still seeing gains.

What to watch. Downtown is where most of Burlington's new building is happening, with applications on North Shore Boulevard East, Graham's Lane, Lakeshore Road and Caroline Street. More new condos mean more choice for buyers in the years ahead.

The market

From April to June 2026, 104 homes sold in Brant. Half sold for more than $931,500 and half for less. A typical sale took 32 days and closed at 96% of the asking price, with 265 new listings coming on over the same three months.
