Another Round of Happy Sellers!
Over the last few weeks, I’ve had the privilege of helping several clients successfully sell their homes. It’s always rewarding to see families move forward with confidence and ease.
So, what’s been making a difference? Buyers are winning when they come in without a heavy list of conditions, such as a sale of property, so the sellers can move forward. Those are the offers that are being accepted by my sellers.
If you’re thinking about selling and want to explore your options, I’d love to chat and see how I can help. Send me a DM or SMS at 905-329-2854!

Niagara MLS Sales to End of Feb-25
Positioning Your Home for a Timely Sale
If you want to sell in 3 months and the absorption rate is 6 months or more, you need to know this. To help meet a seller’s timeline and increase the chance of having his home sell sooner than the absorption rate indicates the seller needs to position his home in front of the market by pricing his home more aggressively than the competition. Doing so will improve a reasonable buyer’s perception of value and achieve a sale.
The following chart displays the MLS number of sales for 12 months to
Feb 28, 2025 vs. 12 months prior. The chart also shows the median prices to help uncover the trend from one year to the other, using the new Habistat tool powered by Toronto PropTx.

Housing Market Trend in Niagara March 2025
| Housing Market Trend in Niagara |
The Listing Absorption Rate and the Market
The number of listings on the market in the Niagara Region continues to rise. As of this writing, February 24, 2025, there are 2,857 MLS listings on the market, well above the norm.
A good way to gauge how the market is doing is to calculate the number of months of listing inventory. This is calculated in the following way:
- Current number of active listings
- Number of sales over a period of time, say 6 months or 3 months
- The average number of sales per month (divide the number of sales for the period by 6 and 3 months
- Finally, divide the number of listings by the average number of sales per month.
This indicates the market trend. So here are the latest 6-month numbers compared to 3 months.
| Months of Inventory in the Niagara Region | ||
| Over | Last 6 Months | Last 3 months |
| No. Active Listings on Feb/24/25 | 2857 | 2857 |
| Months of Sales | 6 Mth | 3 Mth |
| No. of Sales | 2884 | 1183 |
| Avg. No. Sales Per Month | 480.7 | 394.3 |
| Months of Inventory | 5.9 | 7.2 |
As you can see, the months of inventory, known as the absorption rate, have increased from 5.9 months over 6 months to 7.2 months over 3 months. It tells us how many months it would take for the market to absorb or sell the existing inventory, without any more listings coming to market. Yet the number of listings continues to grow.

So at 7.2 months, Niagara is definitely in a buyer’s market.
The absorption rate analysis provides important information to help sellers make better decisions about their home’s position in the marketplace.
