The Aldershot mortgage market in 2026
As of 2026, the average home price in Aldershot is roughly $1,135,880 (Ontario, population ~13k). Aldershot sits at Burlington's western edge on the bay, where post-war bungalows on unusually deep lots back onto newer mid-rise condos along Plains Road. That split produces two very different files — redevelopment-minded buyers pricing land value, and downsizers and first-time buyers financing a condo — and the GO station keeps commuter demand steady behind both. At that price, 20% down is about $227,176, and you’d need roughly $210,000 in household income to qualify at the stress-test rate of 7.04% — the greater of your contract rate + 2% or 5.25%. The legal minimum down here is $88,588 (7.8%) — 5% on the first $500,000 plus 10% on the balance — with a default-insurance premium financed on top: a smaller cash outlay now for a slightly higher monthly payment. We model your exact Aldershot numbers — price band, down payment, and the stress test — before you ever write an offer.
