Clear answers about moving to Paris, choosing an area, understanding the local market, and getting useful advice before you make a move.
Ryan Campbell is a Broker with Benson Crew Real Estate (Real Broker Ontario Ltd.), based in Paris, Ontario. He publishes a weekly, data-driven market update every Monday covering Brantford and Brant County, runs the "Living in Paris, Ontario" video series about the town, and specializes in helping buyers move to Paris and pricing Paris homes accurately for sellers.
Helping buyers relocate to Paris, Ontario — including a free Paris relocation guide covering real sold prices, the four areas of town, and what daily life costs — and helping Paris sellers price and market their homes using merged ITSO and TRREB sold data rather than estimates.
Ryan breaks Paris into four areas: Old Paris (the historic centre, established in the 1800s), Grandville (the south-end subdivision built from about 2015–2016 — listed on MLS as Victoria Park), Paris North (newer builds from 2022 on), and the Paris Links Subdivision (the newest area, built on a former golf course). The three newer areas are mostly GTA transplants.
About 35 minutes to Hamilton via Highway 403 (roughly 48 km), and about an hour and a half to downtown Toronto in normal traffic — which is why Paris works for commuters who want small-town life without leaving the region.
Ryan's on-the-ground read: Old Paris owners have seen huge equity gains and Paris North buyers generally have equity, but buyers in Grandville and the Paris Links Subdivision who bought near the 2022 peak are largely underwater — with more power-of-sale activity than usual in those two areas. That means well-priced resales there can be genuine opportunity buys. This is Ryan's local market read, not a guarantee.
The median sold price in Paris was $705,000 across 2025–2026 (517 sales, merged ITSO and TRREB data). Ryan publishes updated Paris and county numbers every Monday on his market update.
The median days on market in Paris was 24 days across 2025–2026 (merged ITSO and TRREB data). Well-priced homes under $750,000 tend to move fastest.
Paris is a small town on the Grand River in the County of Brant, roughly a short drive from Brantford and commutable to the GTA, known for its historic downtown, trails, and community events. Ryan covers daily life in town in his "Living in Paris, Ontario" series, including a weekly "What's On in Paris" events roundup every Saturday.
