MARKET REPORT: SOLD SUMMARY

May Shifted the Market Momentum

1. More Homes, More Options: As we head into summer, there’s an abundance of listings giving Buyers more negotiating power and forcing Sellers to stay competitive.

2. Sales on the Rise (Mostly): May saw an overall increase in home sales compared to April—except for Belleville, which dipped slightly (down 5%). Stirling saw the biggest jump at 86%, but it’s a small market, so that percentage can be deceiving.

3. Inventory Shifts by Area: Brighton, Quinte West, and Stirling showed signs of a more balanced market with months of inventory decreasing. Meanwhile, Belleville is leaning toward a Buyer’s market with 311 active listings by the end of May.

4. 2025 vs. 2024 Market: Overall, 2025 is tracking similarly to 2024 in sales and inventory—except Quinte West, where inventory is up 44% year over year, despite steady sales.
