Market Update • September 2026 🍁
Apartments lead sales downward.
“While sales were down about eight per cent overall in September, this figure hides the fact the weakness is contained to the sizeable apartment segment, which typically accounted for half of sales in any given month in recent years. By contrast, sales of attached and detached homes finished slightly up from last September, consistent with our view that end-users are primarily driving the market, as investor-driven demand awaits more favourable market conditions.
The combination of slow sales and inventory trending lower has kept home prices from declining too swiftly, with the composite price index drifting down 0.5 percent month over month. While small month-over-month changes may not appear significant individually, the cumulative effect of many small changes has become more pronounced over time, with all market segments now showing price declines of about three per cent since the start of the year.”
