Conditions vary significantly depending on the segment you are looking to buy or sell in:
Detached Homes: Conditions remain the tightest here. While the benchmark price (averaging ~$734,000 to $749,000) has seen minor year-over-year softening, it remains highly resilient.
Townhouses & Row Houses: This segment has largely shifted into balanced territory. Benchmark prices sit around $422,000 to $428,000, and units are staying on the market longer.
Apartments & Condos: This sector is heavily buyer-friendly. Increased inventory and reduced sales volume have pushed benchmark prices down to roughly $300,000 to $305,000.
