The numbers

The market in 30 seconds

31For sale now
12Sold
34Avg. days on market
$829KAvg. sold price

With 31 homes available and 12 sold, buyers have options. Thoughtful pricing and strong presentation help your home stand out from day one.

One thing worth noting this month: the two bungalows that sold on Bartley Bull Parkway both outperformed the two-storey sales around them. A single storey on a Peel Village lot is a smaller pool of houses than people assume.

Detached homes, Peel Village. Source: Jinder Atwal's TRREB MLS® snapshot as published in Issue 02, October 2026. Sold prices and days on market reflect the 12 reported sales. Aggregate figures for information only — not an appraisal or an opinion of value for any specific property.

What it means

Pricing is the whole game

The number you start at is what moves the outcome. A house priced to the comparables on its own street gets its best offers in the first fortnight. One priced on hope collects showings, then reductions, and sells for less than it would have.

Individual addresses and sale prices are not published here — only aggregate figures.

Pet of the Month

A photo and one fun fact. Mocha set the bar in Issue 01, but the bar is not especially high.

Bulletin board

Free classifieds. Babysitting, dog walking, snow clearing booked before winter, garage sales, lost and found, a tradesperson you'd actually vouch for.

Milestones

A new baby. A graduation. A fiftieth anniversary. A kid who made the team. A neighbour who shovelled your driveway before you woke up.

Old photos

Then & Now runs every issue. If you have a picture of the Village from the sixties, seventies or eighties, it belongs in print beside the same view today.

Overheard in the Village

The hedges hear everything. If something made you laugh on a walk, it probably belongs in the back corner of page one.

Getting around & help

Just moved in?

New to Peel Village

Just closed on Bartley Bull Parkway, Watson Crescent, Hartford Trail or anywhere along the curve? These are the questions every new arrival asks in their first month, answered once so you don't have to go hunting for them. Garbage day, school boundaries, deck permits — and the one conservation rule that catches people out in this neighbourhood specifically.

When is garbage day?

It varies street by street, and Peel Region — not the City — runs collection. Put your address into the collection calendar and it gives you every date for the year, plus text or email reminders.

Which school will my kids go to?

Peel Village is served by both boards. Use the Peel DSB School Finder or the Dufferin-Peel Catholic directory to check your address. Boundaries get confirmed at registration, so verify with the school before you plan around it.

Do I need a permit to build a deck?

Usually yes — and in Peel Village there may be a second step most people miss. Etobicoke Creek runs along the edge of the neighbourhood and the golf course sits in its flood plain, so lots in a regulated area need TRCA approval before the City will issue a building permit. That covers decks, pools and sheds, not just big builds. Check the TRCA tool first, then the City. And call Ontario Dig Authority (formerly Ontario One Call) before anything goes in the ground.

Can I put in a basement apartment?

Only if it's registered — and the rules have moved twice recently, so old advice is unreliable. An additional residential unit isn't legal in Brampton until it's registered with the City. Since May 2023 a property can hold up to three units in total, subject to zoning — not one, as was the case before. And since 1 April 2024, if any part of your lot sits inside TRCA-regulated land, you need conservation authority approval before the City will process the application. That catches lots near the creek valley on the edge of the neighbourhood; most of the interior streets are not affected. An additional residential unit is not permitted at all on a lot zoned Floodplain or Open Space. Run the TRCA Regulated Area Search first, then call the City's two-unit team on 311. Last checked October 2026.

Is the golf course actually public?

Yes. Peel Village Golf Course is City-run, nine holes, at 29A Hartford Trail along Etobicoke Creek. Book a tee time online or call 905-874-2995. Weekday mornings are the quiet ones.

Why do the streets curve like that?

On purpose. Peel Village was built from the early 1960s as a planned community, and the curving roads were a deliberate traffic-calming idea decades before anyone used that phrase. It's also why the neighbourhood feels quieter than the grid around it.

What do houses here actually sell for?

Over the last month, detached homes in Peel Village averaged about $769K for a three-bedroom and $860K for a four-bedroom, with roughly four months of supply in the three-bedroom segment. The market section above has the current numbers, refreshed every issue — or ask what your own place is worth.

Sold on these streets

374 Bartley Bull Parkway

Written down properly

The guides

Fourteen pages, each answering one question about this neighbourhood completely — the history, the permits, the prices, and what to do before you sell. Written to be read once and kept.

Then & now

The Village, briefly

1,100

acres, and about five thousand homes, built from the early 1960s by Charles F. Watson — the Watson in Watson Crescent.

First

fully planned community in the area to put housing, shops and industry together — and the first subdivision to bury every utility cable underground, television included.

On purpose

The streets curve deliberately. It was a traffic-calming idea sixty years before anyone used the phrase.

1921

to 1963, the golf course land was the Brampton Golf Club. Today it's nine public holes on a 67-acre floodplain along Etobicoke Creek.

The central park had a wading pool where the splash pad runs today. Sources: Doors Open Ontario; the Stanley Thompson Society; local history archives. Corrections and additions are welcome — that's what Then & Now is for.

The newsletter isn't a listing flyer. It's the thing I'd want in my own mailbox: what's on this month, what houses on these streets actually sold for, and the occasional piece of civic fine print that saves someone a bad surprise. If a move is somewhere on your horizon — this year, next year, eventually — the conversation is free and there's no pitch attached to it.

Reviews are how neighbours decide who to call, and they're worth more than any flyer I can print. If I helped you buy or sell, a couple of sentences on Google goes a long way.
