Brampton Housing Market Overview
Brampton’s housing market is now facing negative annual price growth as the average Brampton home price tumbles.

For August 2022, the average home sold price in Brampton was $1,018,639 for a 4% year-over-year decrease.
Negative growth in home prices is an unfamiliar sight in the GTA housing market, especially after the recent relentless and seemingly unstoppable rise in home prices that saw all-time price records being broken. Brampton’s average home price has now fallen by over 25% since the January 2022 peak in home prices of $1,367,444. This means that the average home price in Brampton has fallen by close to $350,000 since the housing market peaked at the start of this year. However, while this month’s slump puts prices in Brampton’s housing market below what they were in August 2021, prices are still higher than July 2021 levels.
The neighbouring Mississauga housing market has been spared from negative price growth for now, with Mississauga home prices still up by 12% year-over-year. Mississauga had an average sold price of $1,077,092 for August 2022, which is notably higher than Brampton’s average sold price of $1,018,639. Earlier this year, Brampton home prices were higher than Mississauga home prices. That is no longer the case.

Brampton detached homes are the only property type to see a negative year-over-year change in its average sold price, at $1,188,060, which is down by 7% compared to last year.

This means that the average price of a detached home in Brampton has decreased by $464,000 since the start of this year!

Semi-detached homes saw no change year-over-year and a 1% monthly decrease in average prices, while freehold townhouses had a 4% increase year-over-year and a 1% monthly decrease in average prices.

With the breathtaking plunge in prices seen this year comes slowing sales activity. That’s largely due to demand drying up as borrowing costs skyrocket due to Bank of Canada rate hikes and higher mortgage rates.

Glossary and Definitions
MLS® HPI: The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) is an index by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) that tracks the prices of homes in a neighborhood. It allows Canadians to quickly compare home prices across Canada and between periods of time without having to account for specific features of a property. Unlike market prices, which can fluctuate from month to month based on seasonal dynamics, the HPI provides a stable view tracks trends across a longer period of time. The HPI is reviewed every year in May to adjust for changes in the real estate marketplace.
MLS® HPI Benchmark Price: The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) Benchmark Price is the HPI translated into a real-world price number.
Strata Insurance: Strata insurance is insurance used by a strata like a condominium to covers damages to common areas and assets and liability to the strata. It can also include fixtures built or installed as part of the original construction of each unit, even though these may not be common structures. The insurance can cover:
- Buildings and structures associated with the strata including common areas such as the roof, parking garages, driveways, gyms, pools, etc.
- Liability for any property damage or bodily injury suffered on strata property
- Any fixtures that are part of the "standard unit" or original construction of each unit
Strata insurance does not usually include personal items and appliances that are part of a condo unit. It also does not cover the damages made by individual unit owners, such as in the case of water damage caused by a unit owner. These are usually covered by personal condo insurance.
Property types
Detached home: A detached home is your standard single-family home. It is a residential building that stands alone and is separately titled or legally a single unit.
Semi-detached home: A semi-detached home is similar to a detached home, except it shares a wall with another home. This pair of homes must make up an independent building and each should be separately titled or legally two separate units. There can only be two homes in a semi-detached building.
Townhouses: A townhouse is the middle between a detached/semi-detached home and a condo apartment. Like detached and semi-detached homes, they are often single-family units that have their own land and may be attached to other units. However, like condo apartments, they typically have to pay co-ownership fees for maintenance and may share some common features with their neighbors.
Condo apartment: This category includes all apartments and condominiums. These are complexes of residential units with common areas such as hallways, parking lots, stairwells, etc. They can be low-rise, mid-rise, or high-rise buildings. Unlike townhouses, there are no parts of the lot (the land of the building) where access is reserved for only one owner or occupant. There can be privately owned units and spaces inside the building.
Plexes are multi-story buildings with two to four individual units, usually one on each floor. They are a mainstay in Montreal and other cities in Quebec. Each unit is usually individually accessible via an external entrance with higher floors connected by staircases.
Property Classes
Freeholds: A freehold is any property where the owner owns both the house and the land it is built on. Common freehold property types include: detached, semi-detached, some townhouses, and farmland.
Condominiums: A condominium or condo is any property where the owner owns the home (or unit) but shares ownership of the land and other improvements with a condominium corporation. Common condominium property types include condo apartments and some townhouses.
Leasehold: Leasehold describes the situation where different entities own the land and the structure built on the land. Owner of the buildings has leased the land and pay rent to their landlord while owning the building on the land.
