Your Local 2026 Q3 Market Report
The Summer market was active around Grand Bend with more listing inventory hitting the market and Buyers finding the perfect spot to call home. North of Grand Bend we saw a significant increase in inventory both along the lake and in the lakeside communities. In this quarter we saw 90% more listings (19 units) hit the market during the same time last year while YTD the number stands at 40% more inventory. This has resulted in more options available and 60% more lakefront sales YTD (6 units) with only 1 additional sale YTD lakeside. So while you are seeing more sales this year, there is a lot more inventory on the market for Buyers to choose from especially if you’re looking for a lakeside property.
The average price north of Grand Bend lakefronts increased 12% since last quarter and up in general over the year as we see the high end inventory sell when they are priced right. The second row and lakeside communities told a different tale with the average sale price down 10% from last quarter with increased inventory and similar sale volume. The average price for the lakeside communities is still up from year end last year, but it’s skewed from a few larger value homes that sold earlier this year.
The Grand Bend market is seeing an increase in inventory both this quarter and YTD as the trend has continued. Up 9% this quarter over last year (6 units) and 7.5% YTD (15 units). The increase in inventory has led to an increase in sales with an increase of 5% YTD (3 units), which was the change in Q1. Sales were up in Q3 over last year, but the 6 unit increase we saw equaled the 6 unit decrease we saw year over year in Q2.
The average price in Grand Bend is starting to level out after seeing the luxury market pick up in Q2 significantly increasing the average price point. The average price is still up 17% YTD from year end 2025 but down 17% this quarter from last quarter. We are still seeing activity and sales in the luxury $2M+ market but Q3 also saw an increase in the lower and middle price point levelling out the average price.
Port Franks and area is the only market in the area that is down YTD in new listing inventory (6 units) while sales are up YTD 6 units with a strong summer market having 13 sales, up 5 units over Q3 2025. The average price has held fairly steady with Buyers seeing value in homes priced right.
