Stop looking at the 78. Look at the gap.
Typical Toronto home: $917,600.
Typical home in Lincoln, Grimsby or West Lincoln: $647,800 to $673,700.
That’s about a quarter million dollars. Not a rounding error. That’s a backyard, a smaller mortgage, and a lot fewer Sunday nights doing math at the kitchen table.
September in plain English:
Prices held flat from August. Steady. Not soft, not hot.
Grimsby sold fastest at 33 days. Lincoln 40. West Lincoln 51. Same region, three different clocks.
Here is my honest bottom line.
Selling? Price it for September, not for the spring you wish you’d listed in.
Buying? You’ve got time and you’ve got choice. Use both.
I bought my first home in Toronto and moved back home to Niagara. I’ve lived both sides of this move, so if you’ve been having the “should we actually do this” talk for the fourth weekend in a row, I get it.
Comment RUN and I’ll send you the free tool. Plug in your numbers, get a real answer in about 10 seconds. No ambush sales call, I promise. I’m busy too.
Send this to the friend who’s been “thinking about Niagara” since 2022.
