The Market Is Shifting — Is Now the Time To Make Your Move?
Team Olivieri
Monday, April 14, 2025
If you’ve been watching the real estate market in Brantford, Brant County, Cambridge, Kitchener, and surrounding areas, you’ve probably noticed some changes — and we’re seeing those shifts too.
The housing market is moving toward a more balanced or even buyer-friendly market this spring. While inventory is growing, we’re also noticing that listings are sitting a little longer and sale prices are adjusting in some areas. This creates new opportunities for buyers while also encouraging sellers to price strategically and work closely with experienced local agents — like Team OLIVIERI.
What’s Happening in the Market Right Now?
In almost every area we cover, new listings have jumped from February to March. That means more inventory for buyers to choose from, but also more competition for sellers. Active listings are up, giving buyers more options and a little extra negotiating power.
At the same time, average sale prices have dipped slightly or stayed relatively flat in several markets, even as list prices rise in places like Brantford and Paris. Homes are taking longer to sell in many areas, which is another indicator of a shifting market dynamic.
In Brantford, for example:
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
For buyers, this is a great time to start planning your move. With more homes to choose from and prices settling in some areas, it’s smart to connect with a local real estate expert who can help you navigate these shifting market conditions. Getting pre-approved, knowing your budget, and being ready to act when the right home comes up can put you ahead of the competition.
For sellers, pricing your home right matters more than ever. In a market with growing inventory, homes priced strategically are the ones that stand out and sell quickly — often for a better price. Team OLIVIERI uses up-to-date market data and custom pricing strategies to make sure your home is positioned to attract serious buyers.

In Brantford, for example:
- New listings increased by over 40% in March
- Sales rose, but not quite as quickly as inventory
- Average days on market dropped, showing that well-priced homes still move fast
