September 2025 Real Estate Market Trends

A lot more homes are being listed than sold, which means there are more options for buyers and less pressure to make fast decisions. When there’s more choice and less competition, prices usually start to dip — and that’s what we’re seeing.
Big Picture
- September sales: 1,720 homes sold
- New listings: 3,782 homes added
- Total homes available: 6,916 (36% more than last year)
Apartments and row homes (townhouses) saw the biggest jump in supply.
According to economists, demand is slowing because fewer people are moving here and there’s more competition from rentals and new homes. With more options available, buyers aren’t rushing — and that’s putting downward pressure on prices.
Market Balance Is Shifting
- Only 45% of new listings sold in September — that’s low.
- There are now 4 months of inventory, the highest since early 2020.
- If this keeps up, the market could shift more in favour of buyers — though this depends on the area and type of home.
