Days on Market · The 14-Day Cliff

02 / DOM

Pace was fast — a median of 7 days, with 89% of listings clearing within two weeks. But there was a sharp cliff: homes that didn't sell quickly stopped commanding premiums almost entirely.

≤ 14 days
127 listings (89%) — ~79% sold over asking, premiums averaging +7–11%
15+ days
16 listings (11%) — only ~6% over asking, averaging below list price
The cliff is stark: listings selling in 15–30 days went over asking just 11% of the time (avg −1.3%), and homes past 30 days closed above asking zero times (avg −6.8%). The first two weeks are where seller leverage lives.

The 6–10 day band is the sweet spot — 76% of all closings, with 82% over asking and the highest average premium (+9.7%). Selling in the first 1–5 days actually shows weaker premiums (+0.9%), suggesting some of those were priced to move. Past 20 days, premiums vanish entirely.

Sold Price vs Listing Price

03 / PRICING

Roughly 71% of homes sold above asking. The strongest overbids were classic underpricing-meets-bidding-war outcomes, clustered in established mid-range neighbourhoods.

44 Ansell Court (Riverbend) topped both leaderboards — +35.0% and +$157,644 over asking — a textbook aggressive-underpricing outcome. The premium leaders skew toward established, well-located postwar homes.

Price Distribution

04 / PRICE

The $400K–$600K band was the clear hot zone — together it made up ~44% of closings and ~88% of those sold over asking.

$400K–$600K is the durable hot zone — nearly 9 in 10 went over asking. The $600K–$700K tier was the soft spot, with under half clearing over list as buyers found more room to negotiate.

Premium by Build Era

05 / VINTAGE

Older stock outperformed. Postwar homes (1946–79) made up the largest group — 45% of closings — and pre-1980 vintages all averaged solid premiums, while new builds (2000+) lagged badly.

Build eraShareOver askingAvg premium
1920–194512%76%+11.3%

1980–199917%75%+6.6%
2000+15%45%+0.9%
New builds were the clear laggards: 2000+ homes went over asking less than half the time and averaged barely above list. Buyers consistently found negotiating room on newer construction, while character-era homes drew the bidding wars.

Where Buyers Won · Biggest Discounts

06 / DISCOUNTS

Discounts stayed limited and concentrated in higher-priced and longer-listed homes. Most below-asking sales trailed list by only $5K–$30K.

AddressDOMDiscount
136 Salme Drive6$-63,400
28 Brockington Avenue63$-50,900
427 Deschambault Street47$-38,900
10 Farmingdale Boulevard8$-29,900
98 Manipogo Bay24$-29,000
Several of the deepest discounts pair higher price tags with long days on market (47–63 days), reinforcing the 14-day cliff — though 136 Salme Drive shows even a quick sale can come in well under list when initial pricing is ambitious.

Bottom Line

A fast, seller-favoured week —
centred on mid-range postwar homes.

Roughly 71% of homes sold above asking, beating list by ~$47K on average against a modest ~$15K average discount. The engine was well-priced postwar product in the $400K–$600K band, where close to 9 in 10 went over asking. New builds and the $600K–$700K tier were the softer corners.

The 14-day cliff defined the week: price right and homes cleared in a week with multiple offers; price ambitiously and they lingered past a month, almost always closing below list.

※ Methodology & disclaimer: Based on 143 manually compiled MLS closings (~98% houses, 1 condo). Percentages and averages are rounded and should be treated as approximate; two listings without an address slug and one without build-year/sqft data are included in totals but omitted from the linked leaderboards. Small sub-segments (condos, >$700K) carry low sample counts — read directionally. This report is for market reference only and does not constitute real estate or investment advice.
