Byron Real Estate: What Sold in August 2026?
If you are considering buying or selling a home in Byron, one of the best ways to understand the market is to look at what buyers actually paid.
August 2026 provided an interesting snapshot of the Byron real estate market, with sales ranging from affordable condominium townhouses to detached homes selling for more than $1 million.
In total, the August sales reviewed for this report included 20 properties, with sale prices ranging from $365,000 to $1,022,500.
The average sale price across these properties was approximately $711,000, although that number should be viewed carefully because the sales included a wide variety of property types, sizes and price ranges.
More importantly, the August numbers show a market where buyers are being selective and negotiation continues to play an important role.
Highest Sale Price in Byron
The highest sale in the August data was 1276 Shore Road, which sold for $1,022,500 after being listed at $1,099,900.
The detached two-storey home offered 3+2 bedrooms, four bathrooms, a finished basement, double garage, inground pool and an unusually deep lot measuring approximately 44 x 191 feet. The property spent 49 days on the market.
The final selling price was $77,400 below the asking price, representing approximately 93% of list price.
That sale is a good reminder that even at the upper end of the Byron market, asking price and market value are not always the same thing.
Lowest Sale Price in Byron
The lowest sale in the August data was 1294 Byron Baseline Road West, a three-bedroom condominium townhouse.
The property was listed at $379,900 and sold for $365,000, approximately 96% of asking price, after 19 days on the market. The home offered approximately 1,205 square feet of above-grade finished space with a partially finished basement.
For buyers looking to enter the Byron market without purchasing a detached home, this sale shows that there are still opportunities below $400,000.
What Did Townhouse-Style Condos Sell For?
The August sales demonstrate just how diverse Byron’s condominium market can be.
Traditional condominium townhouse sales included:
1294 Byron Baseline Road West at $365,000
1100 Byron Baseline Road at $450,000
1337 Commissioners Road West at $480,000
The Commissioners Road property was a bungalow-style condo offering 2+1 bedrooms, three bathrooms and a partially finished basement.
There were also higher-end vacant land condominium sales.
777 Apricot Drive sold for $669,900, while 1900 Shore Road sold for $955,000. The Shore Road property was a bungalow-style vacant land condominium offering more than 2,200 square feet above grade, 3+2 bedrooms, four bathrooms and a double garage.
This is an important distinction for buyers. The word “condo” in Byron can describe everything from an entry-level townhouse to a substantial executive-style home.
Detached Home Sales in Byron
Detached home sales in August covered a broad price range.
The lowest detached sale reviewed was 388 Griffith Street at $535,000.
The property was a 3+1 bedroom bungalow on a 60 x 184-foot lot with a detached garage and partially finished basement. It was listed at $549,000 and sold after 26 days on the market.
Other detached sales included:
374 Griffith Street at $575,000
133 Fairlane Avenue at $620,000
46 Ski Valley Crescent at $690,000
273 Whisperwood Avenue at $734,000
467 Jellicoe Crescent at $790,000
194 Whisperwood Avenue at $795,000
1817 Brunson Way at $895,000
1238 Thamesridge Crescent at $950,000
956 Trailsway Avenue at $1,000,000
1276 Shore Road at $1,022,500
The range of sales highlights one of Byron’s strengths. Buyers can find older bungalows, traditional family homes, newer construction, condominium options and luxury properties within the broader community.
Are Byron Homes Selling for Asking Price?
This is one of the most interesting parts of the August data.
Across the 20 sales reviewed, the average sale-to-final-list-price ratio was approximately 97.4%.
In practical terms, most properties were not selling above asking price.
Only a small number of the August sales sold at or above their final asking price, while several sold approximately 4% to 7% below asking.
For sellers, this is important.
Today’s market does not consistently reward aggressive pricing. Buyers have more choice and are more willing to negotiate or simply move on to another property.
For buyers, it means the asking price should not always be viewed as the final price.
Every property is different, but August certainly demonstrated that there can be room for negotiation.
One Sale That Stood Out
One of the more unusual sales was 1560 Upper West Avenue #210.
The new two-bedroom condominium was listed at $569,026 and sold for $592,035, approximately 104% of asking price. The unit was a new Tricar-built condominium offering approximately 1,225 square feet.
This sale stood apart from most of the resale activity in August.
It is also a good reminder that builder sales and new construction can involve different pricing structures, upgrades and incentives, so they should not always be compared directly with traditional resale properties.
What Appears to Have Been the Best Value?
Value is always subjective, and it is impossible to determine the “best deal” based solely on MLS information.
However, one sale that stands out on paper is 388 Griffith Street at $535,000.
For that price, the buyer purchased a detached Byron bungalow with 3+1 bedrooms, a partially finished basement, detached garage and a substantial 60 x 184-foot lot. It sold for $14,000 below its final asking price.
Another interesting sale was 374 Griffith Street at $575,000.
That property was situated on an approximately 60 x 188-foot lot and included an inground pool. It spent 68 days on the market and eventually sold below its $609,900 asking price.
Based on the available information, both appear worthy of attention when comparing value in Byron during August.
Condition, renovations, location, inspection findings and the individual circumstances of each sale can all affect value, so no single transaction tells the whole story.
Days on Market Also Tell a Story
August showed a wide range of selling times.
194 Whisperwood Avenue sold after only nine days for $795,000, essentially at asking price.
467 Jellicoe Crescent sold after 11 days for $790,000 against a $799,900 asking price.
At the other end of the spectrum, 133 Fairlane Avenue spent 112 days on the market before selling for $620,000 against a final asking price of $649,999.
1238 Thamesridge Crescent spent 94 days on the market before selling for $950,000.
The takeaway is not simply that a home that sits longer will sell for less.
The more important lesson is that buyers eventually respond when they see enough value relative to the competition.
What August Tells Us About the Byron Real Estate Market
August reinforced an important point about Byron real estate.
Byron remains a desirable and diverse neighbourhood, but buyers are being selective.
The market included sales from $365,000 to more than $1 million, covering condominium townhouses, vacant land condos, established bungalows, newer two-storeys and luxury homes.
At the same time, the average property in this group sold for approximately 97.4% of its final asking price.
That suggests pricing continues to matter tremendously.
A home that is properly positioned can still sell quickly and very close to asking price.
A property that enters the market above where buyers perceive value may sit longer and eventually require a price adjustment or greater negotiation.
For sellers, today’s market rewards preparation, presentation and realistic pricing.
For buyers, it can create opportunities.
Thinking About Moving to Byron?
One of the things that continues to make Byron unique is the variety of housing available within the community.
Buyers can find mature streets with larger lots, established bungalows, traditional family homes, newer subdivisions, townhouse communities and higher-end properties.
August’s sales also show that buyers should not focus only on asking prices.
Look at comparable sales, days on market, previous pricing and what buyers have actually been willing to pay.
For sellers, the same principle applies.
The value of your home is ultimately determined by how it compares with the alternatives available to today’s buyer.

The asking price tells you where a seller wants to start. The sold price tells you where the market actually ended up.
That is where the real story of the Byron real estate market begins.
