Rates Down, Listings Up: The Truth Behind Ontario’s “Flip-Flop” Market
Description
Headlines say “buyer’s market,” but you still see SOLD signs everywhere. Both can be true—and today I show you where and why across Ontario and Southwestern Ontario.
What you’ll learn:
-A boots-on-the-ground snapshot: rates easing, listings piling up, and how months of inventory (MOI) changes buyer leverage.
-City & corridor reads we’re seeing in real time: London–St. Thomas, Sarnia–Lambton, Chatham-Kent, and lakefront/rec markets like Grand Bend and Port Stanley.
Action steps for each audience:
-Buyers: lock rate holds, hunt value, negotiate credits/repairs, and strike when the math works.
-Sellers: price with precision using last 2–4 weeks of comps, pre-list inspections, and pro staging.
-Investors/Builders: duplex & small multi plays, builder incentives, VTBs, and small infill where absorption supports it.
-Dates to watch this month (permits, labour, housing data, fiscal update) and how those signals could shift momentum.
