Sales rise as listings tighten
Sales were 5.7 per cent higher than in August 2025, while active listings were down 5.9 per cent year over year. The combination suggests buyers completed more transactions despite having fewer listed properties to choose from than a year earlier.

What this means for a property decision
A market price or listing description does not establish development rights. Before budgeting for changes, read our zoning guide, check building-permit requirements, and find the right municipal or Regional contact. Our responsibilities guide explains why more than one authority may be involved.
