Compare your Oakville equity with what it buys in Barrie and the areas around it.
In August 2026, TRREB reported an average sale price of $1,324,472 in Oakville and $667,703 in Barrie, across all home types. These are one-month averages, and the mix of homes sold differs between the two (Oakville has a different share of condos, townhouses and detached homes), so use them for context, not as a like-for-like comparison.
