Months of Inventory (MOI) estimates how many months it would take to sell the available inventory at the recent sales pace. Lower MOI generally means tighter supply; higher MOI generally means more choice for buyers.

HomeZira uses both indicators to assess the overall market condition.

What the August 2026 Freehold and Condo Markets Mean for Buyers and Sellers

For Buyers

Freehold

Freehold conditions in Oshawa were balanced but seller-leaning. With 3.3 months of inventory, supply remained relatively tight, so buyers still faced meaningful competition for well-positioned homes. New freehold listings fell 17.1% from July 2026, so fewer fresh options were entering the market. Homes averaged 28 days on market, taking 4 days longer to sell than in the previous month and giving buyers somewhat more time to compare properties.

Condo

Condo conditions in Oshawa favoured buyers. With 5.8 months of inventory, available supply was relatively high compared with the recent sales pace, giving buyers greater choice and negotiating leverage. Active condo inventory fell 7.4% from July 2026, while new listings fell 18.8%. That narrowed both available and fresh choice for buyers. Homes averaged 49 days on market, taking 21 days longer to sell than in the previous month and giving buyers somewhat more time to compare properties.

For Sellers

Freehold

Freehold conditions in Oshawa were balanced but seller-leaning, giving sellers a relatively stronger position while buyers still retained meaningful choice. Freehold sales fell 20.7% from July 2026, meaning sellers were competing for a smaller pool of completed transactions. Homes averaged 28 days on market and took longer to sell than in the previous month, increasing the importance of strong presentation and standing out from competing listings.

Condo

Condo sellers in Oshawa faced a more competitive environment. With 5.8 months of inventory, available supply was relatively high compared with the recent sales pace. Condo sales fell 12.0% from July 2026, while active inventory fell 7.4%. Fewer competing listings helped sellers, but the slower sales pace still made accurate pricing important. Homes averaged 49 days on market and took longer to sell than in the previous month, increasing the importance of strong presentation and standing out from competing listings.

Property Type Sales Median Sold Price New Listings Active Listings 12-Month MOI
Months of Inventory (MOI)

This 12-month MOI is calculated by HomeZira using TRREB Market Watch data.

Avg. Sale-to-List
Average Sale-to-List Ratio

Shows the average selling price as a percentage of the listing price. A ratio of 100% means homes sold at their listing price on average. Above 100% means they sold above list price on average, while below 100% means they sold below list price on average.

Avg. LDOM
Listing Days on Market (LDOM)

The average number of days a successful listing was on the market before it sold. A lower LDOM generally means homes were selling faster, while a higher LDOM means they were taking longer to sell.

Detached 97 $699,999 267 425 3.3 months 99% 28 days
Semi-Detached 14 $592,500 30 39 2.2 months 100% 25 days

Condo Apartment 8 $327,500 29 64 7.5 months 90% 60 days

What Stands Out by Property Type

HomeZira's August 2026 property-type comparison shows that Semi-Detached had the strongest overall demand profile among the property types shown in Oshawa. That segment combined a 12-month MOI of 2.2 months, the fastest average selling time at 25 days and an average sale-to-list ratio of 100.0%, while recording 14 sales. Detached recorded the most sales at 97, but sales volume alone did not make it the strongest demand segment; its 12-month MOI of 3.3 months, 28-day average LDOM and 99.0% average sale-to-list ratio pointed to less intense competition than Semi-Detached.

At the softer end of the market, Condo Apartment showed conditions that generally gave buyers comparatively more time and negotiating room, with a 12-month MOI of 7.5 months, an average selling time of 60 days and a 90.0% average sale-to-list ratio. For sellers, Semi-Detached was operating in relatively stronger conditions, while Condo Apartment sellers faced more competition for buyer attention and may benefit from careful pricing and presentation. Buyers focused on Condo Apartment may have more opportunity to compare listings and negotiate than buyers focused on Semi-Detached.
