Market analysis

Freehold Prices Anchor the Market Well Above Condos

Orleans freehold houses averaged $727,049 in June 2026, according to YouTube. By contrast, the average condo price sat at $411,991 during the same period, per the same source. The median sale price across all property types reached $654,000 in 2026 according to Redfin, which lands between the two averages and suggests freehold transactions heavily influence overall pricing.

Sales Activity Shows a Shift Away from Condos

Orleans recorded 183 total home sales in June 2026, according to YouTube. Freehold sales accounted for 160 of those transactions, down slightly from 170 in the comparison period. Condo sales fell more sharply, from 39 to just 23, pointing to notably weaker demand in the condo segment.

Homes Are Selling Below Asking Price

Orleans properties showed a median bidding difference of -$11,200 versus list price in January 2026, according to Wahi. That same month, the median sold price was $387,800, reflecting seasonal softness compared to later months. The pattern indicates that buyers have been successfully negotiating below listed prices.

Time on Market Varies by Season

Orleans homes averaged 33 days on market in 2026 according to Redfin, suggesting relatively brisk turnover across the year so far. However, in January 2026 specifically, properties sat for an average of 47 days according to Wahi. This seasonal gap of several weeks underscores how winter months tend to slow absorption in the neighborhood.

What this means

For buyers in Orleans

Pricing leverage exists for buyers in Orleans, as homes sold a median of $11,200 below list price in January 2026 according to Wahi. Condo sales fell from 39 to 23 year-over-year per YouTube, which may translate into more options and less competition in that segment. With average days on market at 33 according to Redfin, there is still enough time to evaluate properties without extreme urgency.

For sellers in Orleans

Freehold homes in Orleans still command substantial values, with the average at $727,049 in June 2026 according to YouTube. However, the median bidding difference of -$11,200 reported by Wahi suggests that pricing slightly below market expectations could help attract offers more quickly. Condo sellers in particular face a thinner buyer pool, given the drop from 39 to 23 condo sales reported by YouTube.
