Real Estate Market Analysis for September 2025

by CENTURY 21 United Realty Inc. Brokerage

The Peterborough real estate market is showing some interesting trends as we move into the fall season. Let’s take a closer look at the key statistics for September 2025 and how they compare to last year.

Sales Activity
In September 2025, the average number of homes sold in Peterborough was 91, up from 82 in August 2024. While this represents a modest increase in sales volume month-over-month, when we look at year-over-year trends, we see a slight decline. The year-over-year average number of sales is down 11%, suggesting that while demand remains steady, buyers may be more selective or facing affordability challenges.

Average Sale Price
Home prices in Peterborough continue to climb, reflecting the ongoing appeal of the city’s housing market. The average sale price in September 2025 reached $624,074, compared to $597,294 in August 2024. That’s a year-over-year increase of 4.5%, showing that property values are holding strong despite a slight dip in sales volume.

Inventory and Market Conditions
One key factor influencing the market is inventory. Peterborough had 364 active listings in September 2025, up from 276 in August 2024. This increase in available homes gives buyers more options, which could contribute to a slightly slower sales pace and a more balanced market. Homes are spending an average of 32 days on the market, indicating that while properties are still selling relatively quickly, buyers have a bit more time to make decisions.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
For sellers, the market remains favourable. Prices are up year-over-year, and well-priced homes are moving within about a month on average. Preparing your home for sale, highlighting its unique features, and working with an experienced agent can help you capitalize on the market’s momentum.

For buyers, increased inventory is good news. While prices have risen, having more homes to choose from gives you a better chance of finding the right property. Working with a knowledgeable agent to understand market trends, negotiate effectively, and identify the right home is more important than ever.

Looking Ahead
As we head into the final months of 2025, Peterborough’s real estate market is expected to remain active, with steady demand and moderate price growth. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just curious about the market, staying informed about local trends is the key to making smart real estate decisions.
