New Tecumseth Market Update — December 2025

December delivered what we typically expect this time of year — a seasonally quiet market, shaped as much by holiday schedules as by market fundamentals.

 Sales slowed to 30, which is very normal around the Christmas holidays
 New listings dipped to 47, as many sellers chose to pause until the new year
 Active listings fell sharply to 174, tightening available inventory
 Months of Inventory sits at 5.3, keeping the market balanced to buyer-leaning

On pricing:

 Average sale price softened to $782,667, reflecting fewer transactions and winter product mix
 Benchmark price held relatively steady at $761,200, suggesting underlying values remain supported
 Seasonal conditions continue to exaggerate month-to-month price swings — this is typical for December

 Seasonal context matters

December is historically one of the slowest months of the year for real estate activity.
Lower sales and listing counts at this time don’t signal distress — they reflect holiday-driven pauses, not disappearing demand.

 What this means heading into 2026

Buyers who stay active over the winter continue to benefit from choice and negotiation leverage, while sellers who prepare early and price strategically can position themselves well for the spring market.

As always, real estate is local — and strategy matters more than headlines.

Always here to help,

Brian.
