The Belleville real estate market stayed steady through May 2025, continuing to show healthy buyer activity while inventory levels shifted upward. Sales remained consistent compared to April, and average prices held firm a sign that demand is still present, but buyers are gaining more options.

One notable change this month:
👉 New listings surged by more than 50%, increasing available inventory and pushing the market closer to buyer-friendly territory.

This report covers all residential sales in Belleville, including detached homes, townhouses, and condos. It’s designed to offer a city-wide snapshot — if you’re curious how your neighbourhood or property type is performing, a more customized analysis may be the better route.

📊 Market Activity: May vs. April 2025

🧠 What Are We Seeing?

The most significant shift in May came from the supply side:
New listings rose by over 50%, pushing active inventory up nearly 28%. As a result, Months of Inventory increased to 3.9, the highest we’ve seen so far in 2025.

Despite this increase in supply, sales stayed relatively consistent, and the average sale price nudged slightly higher  a signal that the market remains strong, even as more listings become available.

There’s no sign of dramatic swings. Instead, what we’re seeing is a steady pace in buyer demand, met with a rising number of options. That balance may start to tilt in the coming months, but for now, Belleville continues to operate in a stable, confident market.

💬 A Note from Tamer

The numbers give us the big picture, but they don’t always reflect the day-to-day rhythm of what’s happening on the ground. Buyers are informed and selective. Sellers are watching the market closely. And more listings are entering the mix week by week.

This market rewards good strategy not guesswork.

April was another strong month in the Belleville real estate market, continuing the momentum we saw in March. Sales activity climbed again, new listings increased, and homes sold even faster, signs that both buyers and sellers are engaged as we move through the spring market.

One key shift stands out:
👉 Months of Inventory dropped from 3.6 in March to 3.0 in April, showing continued pressure on supply and faster market turnover.

This report gives us a snapshot of all residential sales in Belleville, including detached homes, townhomes, and condos. It’s designed to give you a sense of where the overall market is heading, not to tell you exactly what’s happening on your street.

If you're wondering what the market looks like for your home or the area you live in, that’s where a more detailed, custom breakdown can help.

📊 Market Activity: April vs. March 2025

🧠 What Does It Mean?

After a sharp price spike in March, the Belleville market adjusted in April, with the average sale price dropping by just over $56,000 to $541,877. While that’s a step back from the March peak, it still sits slightly above the year-to-date average of $540,078 a sign that, despite fluctuations, buyer confidence remains relatively strong.

Homes also sold significantly faster in April, with average days on market falling to just 25, and Months of Inventory tightening to 3.0 indicating steady buyer activity and continued competition for well-priced homes.

But numbers only tell part of the story.

“If we were to monitor transactions on a daily basis — as I do — we’d see that much of April’s activity came in a late-month spike. Early April was relatively quiet, and I believe that’s largely due to external factors like the Canadian federal election, the Bank of Canada’s rate hold announcement, and even cross-border economic sentiment like U.S. tariff news. These may have briefly pulled some buyers out of the market. Toward the end of the month, however, the market re-energized in a noticeable way.”

So while the stats give us a valuable snapshot, they don’t always reflect the full rhythm of the market in real time. Numbers can be interpreted in many ways and that’s where local expertise really matters.

I get this question all the time.
Is it better to sell in the spring? In the fall?
Is the market up? Is it down?

Selling and Buying in the Same Market? Timing Isn’t Everything

If you’re selling and buying in the same market, timing doesn’t matter as much as you think.
Sell high? You’ll buy high.
Sell low? You’ll buy low.
It usually balances out—unless you’re switching between very different types of properties, which can shift the equation a bit.

Want to Be Smart About Timing? Don’t Follow the Seasons—Follow the Numbers

One of the best indicators?
Months of Inventory.

What’s Months of Inventory?

It tells us how long it would take to sell all the homes currently on the market, based on how quickly they’re selling right now.

Here’s the simple rule:

• Low inventory = Seller’s market - homes are selling fast.

• High inventory = Buyer’s Market - homes are sitting, and buyers have more options.

What Drives Inventory Levels?

It’s a mix of things, but the biggest drivers usually are:

• Interest rates

• Buyer demand

• New listings coming on the market

And remember—this isn’t just about the city average.
Real estate is hyper-local.
Different areas, different home types, and different price ranges can all behave differently—even just blocks apart.

The Problem With Headlines? They’re Outdated

Here’s the thing:
Most real estate headlines you see are based on last month’s data.
It’s not wrong—but it’s already outdated.

The market shifts fast. Monthly board stats help us track long-term trends, but they don’t always reflect what’s happening right now in your neighbourhood.

Real Estate Moves in Waves

And real estate has a ripple effect.

Understanding where you are in the wave is key to making the right move at the right time.
