St. Catharines, ON (August 7, 2025) – In July 2025, residential home sales across the Niagara Association of REALTORS® (NAR) MLS® system reached 639 units, an increase from 585 sales in June 2025. During the same period, 1,689 new residential listings were added, slightly down from 1,724 in June. Homes also sold more quickly in July, with an average of 39 days on the market, a 9.3% improvement compared to the previous month.

July’s results show that Niagara’s market continues to be active but remains sensitive to pricing. Sales are on the rise and properties are moving faster, but only when listed at true market value. Buyers currently have choices and are patient, meaning overpriced homes risk sitting unsold.

With mortgage rates holding steady and plenty of homes available, buyers have a window to move forward with more confidence. The slight decrease in the benchmark price is a reminder that, even during the summer market, conditions still lean toward buyers in many areas. Sellers who recognize that reality are the ones finding success.

Partnering with an experienced local REALTOR® is the best way to make informed, strategic decisions in today’s shifting market.

The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI), which provides a more reliable look at pricing trends than average or median prices, reported a composite benchmark price of $608,400 for the Niagara Region in July 2025. This marks a 0.8% decline from June 2025.

DISCLAIMER: Please note that the data reflected in this July 2025 Market Report may differ from what was published in the June 2025 Market Report due to updates made to the PropTx MLS® System.
