As the fall market kicks into gear, September brought steady activity across Hastings, Prince Edward County, and Northumberland. Here’s a closer look at how each region performed compared to last year and the previous month.

Hastings Region

The Hastings market saw continued momentum in September, reporting 168 sales, up from 150 sales one year earlier.

Average Price: $559,101 — a modest 0.5% dip from $561,986 in September 2024, but an improvement over August 2025’s $538,862.
Active Listings: 924, compared to 750 in September 2024, providing more choice for buyers.
Days on Market: Homes sold in an average of 49 days, nearly unchanged from 46 days last year.

The increase in inventory and steady pricing suggests a more balanced market, giving both buyers and sellers opportunities to move forward with confidence.

Prince Edward County

September was a standout month for PEC, with sales nearly doubling year-over-year.

Sales: 49 transactions, compared to just 26 in September 2024, and up from 32 in August 2025.
Average Price: $791,725 — a 1.5% decrease from $804,134 one year ago, but higher than last month’s $744,288.
Days on Market: Properties averaged 70 days on the market, consistent with 69 days the year prior.

This surge in activity signals renewed buyer interest in the County, with prices holding steady despite the uptick in volume.

Northumberland Region

Northumberland also experienced an increase in sales, though with slightly softer pricing trends.

Sales: 129, compared to 116 in September 2024.
Average Price: $671,530 — down 1.3% year-over-year from $680,707, and just under August’s $679,100.
Days on Market: Homes averaged 52 days to sell, compared to 49 days last September.

The region continues to attract steady interest, balancing affordability and proximity to key commuter routes.

Across all three regions, September brought an increase in sales activity, with buyers benefiting from higher inventory levels and sellers still achieving strong values. While average prices dipped slightly year-over-year, month-over-month improvements point to resilience as we head deeper into the fall market.
