Strongest segments included:

• Townhomes from $1.1M to $1.4M in Patterson, Vellore Village & Sonoma Heights

• Condos under $900K near VMC, ideal for investors and first-time buyers

• Detached homes under $1.8M with finished basements or rental suite potential

💡 Homes that offered move-in readiness, flexible closings, and strategic pricing often sold within the first 1–2 weeks.

🏘️ Inventory Climbs, Creating More Opportunities

May saw 749 new listings, giving buyers more choice across all price ranges. Although inventory is up compared to April, well-presented homes are still moving quickly—especially those under the $1.5M mark.

• DOM decreased to 27 days, showing buyer urgency

• More listings received conditional or even firm offers within days

• Staged homes with professional marketing consistently outperformed others

📌 Increased inventory is helping balance the market, but desirable homes are still getting snapped up fast.

🏙️ Neighborhood Spotlight: Vellore Village & VMC

• Vellore Village: A top choice for families looking for freehold homes with great school zones, parks, and community feel

• Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC): Continued to attract high interest from buyers and investors due to subway access, newer builds, and rising rental values

📍 These areas offered strong price performance and high showing volume, especially for properties priced right.

🔮 Looking Ahead to Summer 2024

With summer approaching, here’s what to expect:

• Continued buyer demand, especially in family-friendly freehold segments

• More listings entering the market through June and July

• Mortgage rate speculation could motivate more pre-approved buyers to act

• Sellers will need to focus on presentation, pricing, and flexibility to stand out

🎯 Buyers: Be prepared—homes are moving fast if priced right.
🎯 Sellers: It’s still a great time to list, but strategic preparation is key.
