Brantford Real Estate Market Report – March 2025
Welcome to the March 2025 Brantford Real Estate Report, where we look back at what happened in February and put it into context for buyers, sellers, and homeowners. If you have any questions about these numbers or how they might impact your real estate goals, don’t hesitate to reach out.
1. Overall Median Sale Price
Median Sale Price: $600,000
This is down 1.8% compared to last month and 3.7% lower than the same time last year.
While we’ve seen a modest dip month-over-month, the market has remained relatively stable over the past 16 months. Buyers have a bit more breathing room, but homeowners can still expect strong prices if they’re realistic with their listing strategy.
2. Property Types
Detached Homes: $674,900 median sale price
Townhomes: $559,500 median sale price
Condos: $412,500 median sale price
These figures highlight the wide range of options in Brantford, whether you’re seeking a single-family house with a yard, a more affordable townhome, or a low-maintenance condo.
3. Sales Activity & Demand
Total Sales: 86 transactions in February
That’s up 30% from January, indicating a surge in buyer interest at the start of the year, but still 10% below February of last year.
This combination suggests buyers are gradually returning to the market—though overall activity hasn’t quite caught up to last year’s pace.
4. New Listings & Inventory
New Listings: 167 in February
Down 1.2% from last month
Down 11.2% compared to last year
Total Active Listings: 310
Up 8.8% from last month
Up 20.6% from last year
The higher total inventory means more choice for buyers, while slightly fewer new listings imply sellers aren’t flooding the market. This shift often creates a balanced environment—neither an extreme buyer’s market nor a seller’s market.
5. Months of Supply
2.8 Months of Supply
Up from 2.5 last month
Up from 2.3 one year ago
Months of supply measures how long it would take to sell every home on the market if no new homes were listed. A range of 2–4 months typically points to a more balanced market. Buyers can take a bit more time, and sellers need to price accurately to stand out.
6. Time to Sell & Sale-to-List Ratio
Median Time to Sell: 32 days
24% faster than last month
14.3% slower compared to last year’s quick sales
Sale Price vs. List Price: 98.8%
Unchanged from January, down 0.5% year-over-year
Homes that are priced and marketed well are still selling within about a month, and buyers on average pay just under asking price.
Key Takeaways & What It Means for You
For Sellers: Even with slightly lower prices in some segments, well-presented and strategically priced listings are selling in about a month. With more total listings on the market, you’ll want to ensure your home shines—both in pricing and presentation—to stay competitive.
For Buyers: More available listings (and slightly more days on market) can give you a bit of room to negotiate. Mortgage rates and local economic factors remain critical considerations, so having a strategy matters.
For Homeowners Staying Put: This report can help you understand your home’s changing equity position and decide if refinancing, renovating, or listing is the right move.
