This would indicate conditions of a buyers’ market, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), but aligns with expected numbers for a typical January market. Inventory continues to remain at a historically high level, with 6.6 months of inventory in January, up from the 5.3 months recorded in January of 2025, representing the most active listings we have seen in the last ten years.” – Robin Tiller, 2026 LSTAR Chair LSTAR's MLS® system saw 341 homes change hands in January, down 10.3% compared to the same month a year ago. The average sale price was $624,550 which represents an increase of over $10,000 from December and is down just 0.6 % from January of 2025.
