Average Days on Market by Neighbourhood (15+ Active Listings)
Some London Ontario neighbourhoods are moving noticeably faster than others right now. Using live data from our Neighbourhood Heat Map — snapshotted July 18, 2026 — here's a genuine, data-backed ranking of where listings are sitting the least time, and where they're sitting the longest, filtered down to neighbourhoods with enough active listings for the numbers to actually mean something.
Which London Ontario Neighbourhoods Are Selling Fastest Right Now?
Uplands currently has the shortest average time on market in the city at 33 days, with 34 active listings behind that number. Stoneybrook and London North are close behind at 35 days each, and Oakridge rounds out the top four at 37 days across 55 active listings.
| Neighbourhood | Active Listings | Avg. Days on Market |
|---|---|---|
| Uplands | 34 | 33 |
| Stoneybrook | 21 | 35 |
| London North | 35 | 35 |
| Oakridge | 55 | 37 |
| Southcrest | 47 | 39 |
Which Neighbourhoods Are the Slowest to Move?
Jackson stands out here: it has 110 active listings — tied for the most in the city — and averages 72 days on market, meaning it's carrying both the biggest inventory and one of the slowest absorption rates at once. Lambeth (82 listings, 71 days) and Sunningdale (59 listings, 71 days) aren't far off, and Woodhull's 89-day average tops the list, though its smaller count of 17 active listings makes that number a bit less rock-solid.
| Neighbourhood | Active Listings | Avg. Days on Market |
|---|---|---|
| Woodhull | 17 | 89 |
| Jackson | 110 | 72 |
| Lambeth | 82 | 71 |
| Sunningdale | 59 | 71 |
| Talbot | 54 | 65 |
What Does "Average Days on Market" Actually Measure?
It's the average number of days each currently active listing has been sitting since it was first posted — not how long it took similar homes to actually sell. A neighbourhood with a low number here has fresh inventory moving through quickly; a high number means listings are lingering, which typically points to pricing or demand pressure rather than random chance, especially in neighbourhoods like Jackson where the sample size (110 listings) is large enough to trust.
Why Do Some Neighbourhoods Move So Much Faster Than Others?
Price point and buyer pool size explain most of the gap. Uplands, Stoneybrook, and Oakridge all sit in accessible-to-mid price ranges with broad buyer demand and strong day-to-day fundamentals — the same kind of profile behind Oakridge's 19-day median in June. Slower-moving areas like Jackson and Lambeth tend to carry a wider mix of listings, including higher-priced or higher-inventory pockets where buyers have more options and less urgency to act on any single one.
What This Means If You're Buying or Selling in These Areas
If you're selling in a slower-moving neighbourhood, this is exactly the environment where accurate pricing matters most — see our why listings get terminated post for what happens when list price and local pace of sale drift apart. If you're buying in one of the faster-moving areas, be ready to act — homes aren't sitting long enough to leave much room for a slow decision.
