Lisgar: Family Homes Near the City Average, But Budget for the Basement

Lisgar homes list at an average of about $1.16 million, roughly 2% under the Mississauga average listing price, with its own GO station on the Milton line. The catch every buyer needs to price in: a documented, decades-long basement-flooding problem that shapes insurance premiums and resale. Here's the full financial picture.

About Lisgar

Lisgar sits at Mississauga's northwest edge, west of Ninth Line and bordering Milton, built out largely in the 1990s and 2000s as a family-oriented community of detached homes and townhouses. It's anchored by well-regarded schools (Osprey Woods among the local favourites), extensive trail networks, and its own Lisgar GO station on the Milton line โ€” a combination that keeps it firmly an owner-occupied, commuter-family neighbourhood, with roughly three-quarters of households owning rather than renting.

On price, Lisgar sits close to the city average rather than below it. On Zolo’s figures read 14 September 2026, homes list at an average of $1,163,000, about 2% under Mississauga’s $1,188,000, and townhouses list at an average of $865,000. Homes that actually sold over the preceding 56 days averaged $1,025,883, though that figure rests on 44 sales and moves with which homes happen to sell. The market is not especially fast: the median home took about 38 days to sell, none sold in under 10 days in that window, and about 14% went above asking. Renters face thin supply that splits into two markets: on Zolo’s listings on 14 September 2026, basement and lower-level suites at $1,300โ€“$2,190 and whole houses, townhouses and upper units at $2,900โ€“$5,500. But the number that most distinguishes Lisgar financially isn't on any listing sheet โ€” it's flood risk.

โš  The "so what" every Lisgar buyer must price in: Parts of Lisgar were built on a former low-lying wetland with clay-heavy soil that traps stormwater and pushes groundwater into basements. Flooding of area homes dates back to 2008, and residents have estimated the collective cost to the community at roughly $125 million. The City is installing a series of pumping stations along Sixteen Mile Creek to reduce infiltration โ€” two are operating (2021 and 2025), a third is due in 2026, and a fourth in 2027 โ€” but until the system is complete, this directly affects two wallet items: flood/sewer-backup insurance premiums and eligibility, and resale. Always confirm overland-water and sewer-backup coverage and pricing on any specific Lisgar address before making an offer. Home insurance by neighbourhood โ†’

Correction ยท Corrected 14 September 2026. This page previously gave Lisgar’s prices as a $1,061,045 average sale, a $1,162,500 “detached median” and $834,000 townhouses, described them as about 7% below the Mississauga average, and said homes sold in a median of about 21 days with a meaningful share going in under 10 days. Zolo publishes no detached-only figure for Lisgar; the $1,162,500 matched its all-types listing average. On Zolo’s figures read 14 September 2026, Lisgar homes list at an average of $1,163,000, about 2% below the city’s $1,188,000, townhouses at $865,000, and the median home took about 38 days to sell. The page’s headline, figures and property tax estimates were updated to match.
