Why Bungalows are DOMINATING the local market

July 21, 2026 · bryan_admin

If you follow local real estate at all, you have probably noticed that bungalows move fast here. There is a real reason for that, and it is not just local preference.

Sarnia-Lambton has a population that skews slightly older than the provincial average, and downsizers are an active force in this market. When someone is leaving a two-storey family home and does not want stairs as a daily reality, a well-maintained bungalow is almost exactly what they are looking for. That demand is consistent, and it does not disappear when the market softens.

On top of that, bungalows in this region tend to sit on larger lots, which appeals to a different kind of buyer entirely: families who want outdoor space, people looking to add a garage or a suite, and investors who see the land value as a long-term asset.

The numbers back this up. Bungalows accounted for roughly 40-45% of monthly sales in the Sarnia-Lambton market through the first half of 2026, and their average price has held above $600,000 for two consecutive months. That is the most consistent performance of any home style in the region right now.

If you own a bungalow and are thinking about selling, you are holding the most in-demand product in this market. If you are looking to buy one, you need to be ready to move when the right one comes up, because the good ones do not sit long.

Either way, I am happy to walk you through what the numbers look like for your specific area. Just reply or call 519-402-0085.
