The real estate market results for September 2024 saw increases to All MLS® sales and dollar volume when compared to last year and September 2022. All three of the main property types of residential detached, condominium, and residential attached homes saw increases to MLS® sales, dollar volume and average prices, but only condominiums saw an increase in active listings over last year.
