You might be holding back on your real estate plans this summer, waiting for signs: the Bank of Canada, new listings, the return of that spring energy. But here in Niagara? We're starting to see that quiet shift.

Here’s what’s happening:

• Inventory is tapering off slightly: as casual summer shoppers fade and fewer sellers step into a market that's still considered soft.

• Buyer confidence is dosing back slowly: likely spurred by the steady rate environment and looming school year timelines.

• Well-presented homes are moving again: and in some price brackets, open houses have started attracting offers within days.

What this means:

• First-time buyers, if you’ve been holding, fall could be your moment. Less competition and still-good affordability could work in your favour.

• Sellers with urgency, this may still be your window, if your property is move-in ready and priced cleanly.

• Investors, watch the neighbourhoods, some segments are already tightening up again as supply gaps open up.

As realtors deeply embedded in Niagara’s rhythms, we’re here to help you read the signals where they matter most, real, local, and tangible.

Making smart moves starts with smart advice.
