What the Numbers Mean
Strongest buyer leverage: St. Catharines
Sales-to-listings at 29% — the lowest in the region, which means the fewest buyers chasing each listing. Benchmark $517,700, -4.2% year over year, 42 days to sell.
What I'd do: this is where a conditional offer and a proper inspection are easiest to get accepted. Leverage is not the same as value — it just buys you room.
Steepest decline: Lincoln
Down 8.3% year over year to $653,400. 40 days to sell.
What I'd do: ask why before you celebrate. A steep fall usually says something about the housing stock or who was buying there in 2021, and that reason does not disappear when you buy.
Slowest to sell: Fort Erie
72 days on market at a $483,300 benchmark. Long days on market mean sellers are waiting, and waiting sellers negotiate.
What I'd do: if you are buying here, time is on your side. If you are selling here, price to the market you are in rather than the one you bought into.
These three are picked automatically from the latest figures, so they change as the market does. MLS® HPI benchmark prices from the Niagara Association of REALTORS® stats package, September 2026. A benchmark tracks a typical home and is not the same as an average sale price.
