MLS® home sales remain below average in March
The number of homes sold in Mississauga totaled 452 units in March 2026. This was essentially unchanged, up just 0.2% (one sale) from March 2025.
Home sales were 29.2% below the five-year average and 44.8% below the 10-year average for the month of March.
On a year-to-date basis, home sales totaled 1,093 units over the first three months of the year. This was a small reduction of 3.8% from the same period in 2025.
“March notched another month of subdued sales compared to the five and ten-year averages, as overall supply levels remain elevated in the wake of reduced buyer demand,” said Bill Duce, Cornerstone spokesperson for the Mississauga market area. “In more positive housing news, Mississauga has received an additional $28.2 million from the Housing Accelerator Fund. This is the third installment received from the federal government and will support the delivery of new homes, including important housing enabling-infrastructure.”
The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) tracks price trends far more accurately than is possible using average or median price measures. The overall MLS® HPI composite benchmark price was $985,700 in March 2026, a decrease of 5.3% compared to March 2025.
The benchmark price for single-family homes was $1,279,000, a small reduction of 3.7% on a year-over-year basis in March.
