What this means for you

A balanced market — 32.31% absorption — means less bidding-war pressure than the frenzy of a couple years ago. You can make a thoughtful offer without feeling like you're competing against ten other people in a weekend.

The entry segments are softening. Townhouses are down about 5.6% year-over-year, condo apartments down about 9%. Translation: while you keep saving unti-unti, the homes you're aiming for are becoming a little more affordable, not less. That's a rare gift.

37 average days on market (vs 33 a year ago) means sellers aren't in a rush. You have more room to include proper conditions — financing, home inspection, sale of your current place — instead of feeling pressured to waive protections just to win.

How to read these numbers

Benchmark price: Not an average — a modelled 'typical' home for that category, filtered for quirks and outliers. A better read on what a normal buyer would actually pay.
Absorption rate: The share of active listings that sold in the month. Under 20% is a buyer's market, 20–60% is balanced, over 60% is a seller's market. 32% is comfortably balanced.
Days on market: How long the average sold home sat before an accepted offer. Higher numbers = more breathing room for buyers to think, inspect, and negotiate.
