Last week we took a look at the market activity in Quinte West. Today we’re diving into Belleville sales data and, as always, considering how this information can be relevant to anyone considering buying or selling in the near future.
Here’s a look at what we saw in Belleville for freehold detached, all price ranges, over the past two weeks:
54 New listings
8 Went conditional (1 with an escape clause)
19 Sold firm
Average list price (of homes that sold): 564,884
Average sale price (of homes that sold): $549,289
List-to-sale ratio: ~97%
Average days on market (of homes that sold): 57
What does this tell us?
Belleville’s new listings in the last 2 weeks were almost double what we saw in Quinte West (54 vs 28) but the sales were both the same, 19 in each city.
More and more homes are coming to the market but there’s a consistent (and fewer) number of purchases being made. (September 2024 as a whole saw 65 sales in Belleville whereas this year we had 59.)
What we’re seeing right now is described as a buyer’s market, but that’s not to say you can’t be successful as a seller.
That’s the lesson learned at 54 Prince of Wales this week. With only 4 days on market, 8 showings, 11 groups at the open house and 3 offers to choose from, my clients are celebrating a sale that suited their timeline and personal priorities.
And the buyer? They rearranged their schedule to make sure they could get in to see the property quickly. They understood what kind of offer, conditions and terms would set them apart. They were strategic and successful as a result.
What does this mean for you?
In any market, there’s strategy and moves to be made on both sides. I’m here to support you in an approach that is always optimistic, grounded in reality and backed by data.
I’d love to sit down and talk over what your goals and priorities are and how we can create a custom plan to accomplish them.
My door is always open! To get started, or if you know someone else who needs help, this is a direct link to my client questionnaire. It helps me know you better so I can serve you better.
This weekend and beyond, remember that there is always something to be thankful for.
Until next time,
