The Simcoe County housing market experienced a mixed pace last week (Week of September 1–7, 2025), reflecting the current shift toward a strong buyers’ market.
Sales dipped slightly, with 154 homes sold compared to 167 the week before, while new listings surged to 638, giving buyers a wider selection to choose from. Despite the jump in supply, average prices remained stable, holding steady at just over $772,000.
With 8.1 months of inventory on the market, conditions remain firmly in buyers’ favour. For sellers, this means strategic pricing and standout presentation are more important than ever. Homes are taking longer to sell, with the average days on market climbing to 46, so motivated sellers should be prepared to adjust quickly if their property isn’t getting the attention it deserves.
Buyers, on the other hand, benefit from more choice and stronger negotiating power, making this an excellent time to explore the market and secure a deal.

Months of Inventory is a key metric that measures how long it would take to sell all current homes on the market if no new listings were added.
0–3 months: Sellers’ Market (strong demand, limited supply)
4–6 months: Balanced Market (supply and demand are even)
6+ months: Buyers’ Market (more supply than demand, giving buyers leverage)
