Bay of Quinte Market Update: April

As we step further into the spring market, the Hastings Region is showing signs of healthy activity and subtle shifts worth noting. According to the latest data, the area experienced a year-over-year increase in home sales, rising from 198 in April 2024 to 209 in April 2025. This uptick in transactions suggests growing buyer confidence and consistent interest in our local market.

While sales volume is on the rise, the average sale price dipped slightly—from $568,610 in April 2024 to $552,265 this year. This modest decline could be reflective of a number of factors, such as shifts in inventory composition, affordability pressures, or strategic pricing from sellers looking to move their homes more quickly.

Speaking of speed, homes are indeed selling a little faster. The average days on market fell from 32 to 30, indicating continued demand and a market that remains active and competitive, even with slight pricing adjustments.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

• For Buyers: The market remains approachable, with a slight easing in average prices and a reasonable pace of sales that still allows time for careful decision-making.

• For Sellers: While pricing strategy remains key, the quicker turnover of homes is a promising sign—well-priced, well-presented homes are still moving efficiently.

As always, local insights and professional guidance are essential in navigating this dynamic market. Whether you're thinking about buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on trends, we're here to help you make informed decisions every step of the way.
