1-Minute takeaway

Sales outpaced new listings this week. Buyers are active, but selective.

What happened

Sales outpaced new listings this week.

Week ending Jun 20, 2025.

3 new listings arrived while 5 sales closed. When options increase, urgency usually drops and sellers get pushed toward clearer price discovery.

Sales that explain the market

The market still rewards clarity early.

  • 203-36 Rivermount Place - $499,995 (listed $499,995) - 15 DOM
  • 505-5258 HIGHLINE Drive - $1,540,000 (listed $1,695,000) - 250 DOM
  • 2207-5350 HIGHLINE Drive - $91,000 (listed $99,900) - 110 DOM

More sales this week

  • 1269 COLCLOUGH Avenue - $852,500 - 121 DOM
  • 551 9th Avenue - $648,000 - 23 DOM

The faster outcomes still tend to be the homes that remove uncertainty early. This week’s sold mix: 0 over ask, 4 under ask.

The Board

Price discovery is happening in public.

  • Cleared: 505-5258 HIGHLINE Drive - sold after 250 DOM

These moves usually show where buyers are pushing back - and where sellers are adjusting quickly.

New listings worth noting

More choice is slowing buyer urgency.

Even a small increase in new inventory gives buyers more direct comparisons - and that usually makes them slower to stretch.

Market example

502 522 542 5th Avenue - $1,749,900

Worth watching early - clean listings tend to show their hand quickly once tours start.

Also new this week

  • 1102 12th Avenue - $1,630,000
  • 5-2011 3 Highway - $390,000

Next week I’m watching

Whether buyers absorb the new inventory. If the clean listings move early, demand is still there under the surface. If they sit, pricing will do more of the work.

My take

Patience is the default right now - not paralysis.

More listings doesn’t automatically mean more sales. It means buyers can compare harder - and the homes that feel low-friction usually move first.
