Here are Burlington’s September 2026 sold prices, listings and benchmark prices, broken down by property type.
Sold prices by property type
Citywide in September 2026: average sold price $1,033,458, median sold price $880,000, 177 total sales, benchmark price $840,600.
The benchmark price is the estimated value of a typical home in the area. Because it describes a typical home, it changes less than the average does from month to month. It’s a great way to see and follow the trend.

Benchmark prices vs. earlier reference points
Here are a few plotted points to show the pricing trend after the 2022 boom.
Median vs. average
The median is the middle sale: half of homes sold for more and half sold for less. The average can be pulled up by a few high-priced sales. In September 2026, Burlington’s citywide average of $1,033,458 was $153,458 above the median of $880,000. For detached homes, the average of $1,363,803 was $143,853 above the median of $1,219,950.
Semi-detached homes had 7 sales and townhouses had 17 in September. With that few sales, one or two homes can noticeably change the average from one month to the next.
