Winnipeg Housing Market Overview
Home Prices and Transactions in Winnipeg
The average price across all home categories in Winnipeg was $416,083 in October 2026, up 3.5% from October 2025 and up 1.1% from September. Since any one month turns on the mix of what happened to sell, the trailing-twelve-month average is the firmer gauge, and it now has moved up 3.0% against the prior twelve months. Widening the lens, the average is up 12.7% over three years and up 22% over five.
Winnipeg recorded 1,192 home sales in October 2026, down 11.0% from October 2025 and down 4.6% from September. Measured over the trailing twelve months, sales are down 6.9% against the year before. Set five years back, monthly sales are down 11.8% over that span.

What's Shaping Winnipeg's Housing Demand
Housing demand in Winnipeg ultimately tracks its population, and the demographic backdrop is shifting. The city counted 850,260 residents as of July 1, 2025, a gain of about 8,245 over the year and the fifth-largest headcount increase of any Canadian municipality, though that was a sharp step down from the roughly 26,800 added the year before. The brake is national. After years of rapid gains, Canada's population growth has cooled to a crawl: a tiny dip late in 2025, essentially flat in the first quarter of 2026, and only about 0.5 percent growth over the year to mid-2026, a fraction of the near 3 percent annual pace of 2022 and 2023, as Ottawa's cuts to non-permanent resident numbers took hold. Winnipeg's own population is estimated far less often than the national quarterly figures, so the local count still shows growth, but the same forces are almost certainly easing its trajectory as well.
Immigration is what powers Winnipeg's growth. The city has posted net interprovincial out-migration every year since 2001, so arrivals from abroad have long more than made up for residents leaving for other provinces. With immigration targets now tightening, that engine is easing off, which points to slower population growth ahead and, with it, gentler underlying demand for housing than the region saw through the recent surge.
The job market, by contrast, stays firm. Winnipeg's unemployment rate, measured as a three-month moving average, held under 5.5% through third quarter-2026, comfortably under the national 6.4%, with metro employment around 474,500 and still rising year over year. Winnipeg also remains one of the most affordable major housing markets in the country.
Note: Average home price is calculated by dividing the total dollar volume of sales by the total number of sales.
Note: This report draws on the Winnipeg Regional Real Estate Board's monthly data. Minor percentage differences from the board's release can occur, as we keep a consistent internal data set each month and do not adjust for the board's post-release revisions.

Glossary and Definitions
MLS® Home Price Index (HPI): Developed by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), the MLS® HPI is the most advanced tool for tracking price trends in the Canadian housing market. Rather than using simple average prices, which can be skewed by the mix of homes sold in a given month, the HPI tracks the value of a "Benchmark Home"—a property with typical attributes for its specific neighborhood. This allows for an accurate "apples-to-apples" comparison of home values across different regions and time periods, independent of a property's specific features or seasonal volatility. To ensure the index remains relevant, CREA performs an annual review every May to account for evolving market dynamics.
MLS® HPI Benchmark Price: This is the dollar value assigned to a "typical" home in a specific neighborhood. While the HPI itself is an index number used to track trends, the Benchmark Price translates that data into a real-world dollar figure, representing what a standard home with average features (like square footage, rooms, and lot size) would likely sell for in today's market.
Property types
Detached home: A detached home is your standard single-family home. It is a residential building that stands alone and is separately titled or legally a single unit.
Semi-detached home: A semi-detached home is similar to a detached home, except it shares a wall with another home. This pair of homes must make up an independent building and each should be separately titled or legally two separate units. There can only be two homes in a semi-detached building.
Townhouses: A townhouse is the middle between a detached/semi-detached home and a condo apartment. Like detached and semi-detached homes, they are often single-family units that have their own land and may be attached to other units. However, like condo apartments, they typically have to pay co-ownership fees for maintenance and may share some common features with their neighbors.
Condo apartment: This category includes all apartments and condominiums. These are complexes of residential units with common areas such as hallways, parking lots, stairwells, etc. They can be low-rise, mid-rise, or high-rise buildings. Unlike townhouses, there are no parts of the lot (the land of the building) where access is reserved for only one owner or occupant. There can be privately owned units and spaces inside the building.
Property Classes
Freeholds: A freehold is any property where the owner owns both the house and the land it is built on. Common freehold property types include: detached, semi-detached, some townhouses, and farmland.
Condominiums: A condominium or condo is any property where the owner owns the home (or unit) but shares ownership of the land and other improvements with a condominium corporation. Common condominium property types include condo apartments and some townhouses.
Leasehold: Leasehold describes the situation where different entities own the land and the structure built on the land. Owners of the buildings have leased the land and pay rent to their landlord while owning the building on the land.
