When you peel back the layers, the September market data showed a welcome improvement over the August numbers.
While the region posted 498 sales, nearly identical to September 2025, the story gets more interesting when you look deeper. St. Catharines continues to recover from summer flooding, with sales down 24% year-over-year. On a positive note, Niagara Falls has staged a relative comeback, with sales up 27% and detached home sales surging 65% compared to last year. That continues the positive trend from August as well.
The smaller markets like Pelham, Lincoln and Thorold are showing stronger activity with sales trends improving from earlier months.
Pricing tells a similar story. The regional median sits at $579,000, down 3.7% year-over-year, but this masks significant regional variation. The smaller markets are typically volatile, but overall, we're seeing sale price trends show signs of equilibrium.
For buyers, this is a market that rewards strategy and local knowledge. For sellers, pricing competitively and understanding your specific neighbourhood has never mattered more.
