Haliburton Housing Market Outlook (2025)

The average sale price in the Haliburton housing market has increased by 8.8 per cent across all property types between 2023 and 2024 from $487,580 to $530,398. The number of sales transactions increased by 8.4 per cent for the same time period (from 155 to 168). The number of new listings increased by four per cent (from 321 in 2023 to 334 in 2024). Looking ahead to 2025, the Haliburton housing market will transition to a buyers’ market. Average price across all property types is anticipated to rise by three per cent, while the number of sales will likely increase by five per cent. Total listings are expected to increase by five per cent in 2025, while new listings could increase by 10 per cent in 2025.

First-time buyers are expected to drive market activity in 2025, predominantly purchasing investment properties within the $350,000 – $500,000 price range. Move up and move-over buyers are purchasing single-family homes in the $500,000 – $650,000 price range. Meanwhile, retirees are buying bungalows priced between $500,000 and $700,000.

Heading into 2025, home sellers are feeling frustrated when unable to sell for a profit. Single-detached houses are expected to see the most sales activity in the region next year.

The 30-year amortization and lower interest rates will make it easier for first-time homebuyers to purchase a home in the region in 2025. There are opportunities for realtors to play a key role in helping buyers understand the financial landscape and the impact of interest rate changes on affordability and home prices as interest rates stabilize, helping them make informed decisions, especially in a competitive market.
