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.
Big cities like Toronto or Ottawa often feel market shifts first.
Then it rolls out to smaller towns like Belleville or Trenton.
Understanding where you are in the wave is key to making the right move at the right time.

March was a noticeably more active month in the Belleville real estate market compared to February. We saw a significant increase in both sales and new listings, while average sale prices climbed sharply — a clear signal that buyers are stepping back into the market.

One key shift stands out:
👉 Months of Inventory dropped from 4.3 in February to 3.6 in March, which means homes are selling faster and the market is tightening.

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.

📊 Market Activity: March vs. February 2025

🧠 What Does It Mean?

The Belleville market is showing signs of strength heading into spring. More homes are coming to market, but even more are selling — and they’re selling faster than they did just a month ago. That combination of rising prices, increased activity, and tighter inventory suggests we’re moving toward a more competitive landscape.
