🏠 THE OAKVILLE UPGRADE WINDOW
The gap between your starter home and your next one just got smaller. Here’s why that matters.
The Math
THE SPREAD IS THE STORY
Smart move-up buyers don’t just watch prices — they watch the spread between what they’re selling and what they’re buying.
When that spread compresses, your equity stretches further than you think.
OAKVILLE: THE SPREAD
🏘️ Townhomes: $875K–$1M
🏡 Semi-Detached: $1M–$1.2M
🏰 Detached: $1.3M–$2M+
Narrower spread = smaller upgrade gap = more room in your equity.
Why Now
3 THINGS DRIVING THE WINDOW
1️⃣ Entry-level freeholds held their value — the upper tier adjusted more. That gap is smaller than it’s been in years.
2️⃣ Fixed rates are stable but could be on the rise — predictable carrying costs on the incremental gap.
3️⃣ Less bidding-war pressure — room for real conditions again (inspection, financing).
