Average DOM — many well-priced homes sold within a single week

Slower listings — a few mispriced homes extended past three weeks
Strong demand for well-priced stock: buyer appetite stayed firm, especially under the $600K range. Slower listings were the exception, not the rule — and almost always a pricing issue.

These results suggest continued multiple-offer activity and aggressive underpricing strategies in highly desirable areas — listing below market to spark a bidding war, then letting competition drive the final price well above list.

05 / TAKEAWAYS
🔥 Strong mid-range competition
Mid-range detached homes continue to attract strong competition — the $300K–$500K core drives demand.
🏠 Post-war homes shine
Many 1950s–1970s homes sold significantly above asking, carrying the strongest leverage.
🏢 Condos softer
Condominiums showed softer pricing performance overall — a continued divergence from detached.
🎯 Pricing is critical
Correct pricing strategy remains critical for fast sales and for triggering bidding wars.
Weekly Summary
The familiar pattern holds: well-priced homes sell fast,
often with multiple offers.
The Winnipeg market stayed highly competitive, with buyers most active in the mid-range. Well-priced homes — especially post-war detached stock under $600K — continued to sell quickly and often with multiple offers, while overpriced listings faced more resistance.
Condos remained the softer corner of the market, and correct pricing strategy stayed the single most critical factor for a fast sale.
