The Market Minute⏱️

Our first 10 days of October are showing encouraging signs across RE/MAX Escarpment & RE/MAX Niagara.

Here’s what the numbers reveal, year over year:

🏡 New listings: +26.4%

More properties are coming to market, giving buyers greater choice.

📈 Sales: +17.1%

Sales activity is stronger than the same period last year.

📉 Appointments: -8.4%

Despite fewer appointments, sales productivity is improving.

🎯 Sales productivity: +22.8%

RE/MAX EN recorded 12.1 sales per 100 appointments, up from 9.8 last year.

✅ Fewer appointments per sale

There were 18.6% fewer appointments per property sold, indicating greater sales efficiency.

🔑 Sales-to-new-listings ratio: 78.9%

Down from 85.1%, this shift points to more buyer choice and potential negotiating opportunities.

🇨🇦 What about interest rates?

Canada’s latest jobs report showed a weakening labour market, adding to the case for the Bank of Canada to hold rates on October 28th.

Another hold could offer buyers and sellers greater predictability.

And here’s how RE/MAX EN compares.

During the first 10 days of October, RE/MAX Escarpment & RE/MAX Niagara outperformed the regional market by 11.5 percentage points.

Through weekly local market reports, ongoing education and the latest industry insights, we equip our agents to understand changing conditions and turn opportunities into results for their clients.

The bottom line: More listings, more sales and stronger sales productivity are giving us reasons for optimism this fall.

Know the market. Lead conversations that matter.

Fewer Appointments, stronger results.

While appointments are down, the numbers tell a positive story. Compared to the same week last year, appointments declined 4.7%, yet property sales increased 17.1%.

This suggests buyers are becoming more focused and purposeful, with fewer showings producing stronger results. It's not just about the number of appointments - it's about the quality of activity and the sales being generated.
