- Under $500,000: a resale condo apartment, or a new condo or stacked town.
- $500,000 to $750,000: a resale townhouse, or a new townhome.
- $750,000 to $1.05 million: a resale semi or entry-level detached, or a new detached home in Mayfield Village or Castlemore.
The real difference is not the price. With resale you can move in within weeks. With new construction you wait two to four years, but you get a new home with a full warranty.
The resale figures below are Brampton averages for August 2026 (see Brampton home prices by type). The new-home figures are builders' published starting prices, checked November 4, 2026. Project names link to their pages on PreconMap.
| Budget | Resale average in that range (Aug 2026) | New projects starting in that range |
|---|---|---|
| Under $500K | Condo apartment: $434,457 | DUO Condos (the $300s), Spruce Trails ($399,990), MontVert ($429,990), Countryside Urban Towns ($499,990, launching soon) |
| $500K–$750K | Condo townhouse: $569,104 Freehold townhouse: $731,389 | Urban Towndominiums (the $500s), Maya Urban Towns ($559,990), Cornerstone ($629,990), Rollingwood ($679K), Reva at Westfield ($692,990), Honeystone ($719,990) |

A starting price is the lowest home the builder has released. In mixed communities it is often a townhome, so the detached homes in the same project cost more. Always get the full price list.
Under $500,000: condo apartment vs new condo or stacked town
The resale condo average of $434,457 buys an existing unit you can move into or rent out right away. You will pay maintenance fees, and older buildings may need special assessments. New options in this range include MontVert in Mount Pleasant, DUO Condos near the Brampton Gateway terminal, and Spruce Trails in Heart Lake. These are new-build entry points, but you pay a deposit years before you get the keys.
$500,000 to $750,000: the townhouse range
This is where new construction competes hardest with resale. A resale freehold townhouse averaged $731,389 in August. New townhome communities start from the $500s at Urban Towndominiums, $559,990 at Maya Urban Towns and $629,990 at Cornerstone. Check whether a new "town" is a freehold townhouse or a condo-style towndominium with monthly fees. The two are priced differently for a reason.
$750,000 to $1.05 million: semi, or new detached?
The resale semi average is $774,246 and the resale detached average is $1,020,556. In the same band, new detached communities in the northeast and east have published starting prices from $839,900 to $1,049,000. Examples are Navera, The Castle Mile and Upper Mayfield Estates. For a family that can wait for closing, that is a real choice: an older semi now, or a new detached home later at a similar price.
Over $1.05 million: west Brampton detached
Above the detached average, most new supply is in the west: Credit Valley, Spring Valley and Bram West. Examples are Westfield, Classic Drive and The Ravines of Credit Woods. At this level, compare the lot, the ravine or valley setting and the included features against established resale homes in the same area.
