Average house price in Ambleside
What homes actually sold for, September 2025 to August 2026. A full year of sales rather than one month, so a slow month cannot swing the number.
| Property type | Average sale price | Homes sold | Average days on market | Median sale price, August 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All homes | $1,955,720 | 93 | 49 | 9 sold that month |

| Apartment / condo | $1,273,285 | 49 | 48 | 7 sold that month |
The average is every sale price over the period divided by the number of sales, weighted month by month. The median is the middle sale, and it is shown for a single month only where fewer than twelve homes sold, one sale decides it. Source: the board’s monthly release.

How to read these numbers
The Home Price Index (HPI) benchmark is the industry-standard measure of typical home value in a defined market, mix-adjusted to control for the property types selling that month. Unlike a simple median, the HPI compares like to like — a benchmark detached home in Ambleside this month versus the same benchmark home last month. That makes it the right metric for month-over-month and year-over-year comparisons.
Months of inventory (MOI) divides active listings by recent monthly sales — under 4 typically reads as a sellers’ market, 4 to 6 balanced, over 6 buyers’. Sales-to-active ratio is the inverse framing; the FVREB and REBGV both publish it. Both metrics are aggregate; specific property types and price bands can read differently than the composite.
HPI benchmarks are aggregate figures — a specific property in Ambleside may transact above or below the benchmark depending on lot, condition, age, and the active buyer pool. Use the benchmark as the trend line, not the listing price.
