Spring 2025 Real Estate Market Update: Buyers Acting Fast

April has shown that the 2025 real estate market continues to be active and competitive across the Hamilton, Halton, Haldimand, and Niagara regions. While overall appointments dipped slightly compared to last year (down 7.6% from April 1–19, 2024), serious buyers are clearly out in force.

The appointment-to-sale index dropped to 9.3 in the past week, reflecting fewer browsing appointments and more committed buyers locking in purchases ahead of anticipated interest rate cuts. This trend highlights a shift from the hesitation seen in 2022 and 2023 to decisive action this spring.

Price ranges seeing the most activity include $500K–$799K across all regions, with the $1M–$1.49M range also staying strong. New listings are being snapped up quickly, with 306 properties sold this week alone compared to 292 new listings coming to market.

If you're thinking about buying or selling, now is a crucial time to act while serious momentum is building!
