What this means for a selling decision
Locate your competition before choosing a launch price.
September detached supply was 2.73 months in West and 5.61 months in North East. A seller should examine the actual alternatives in the relevant district, then narrow by above-grade size, lot setting, condition and price band. A citywide supply figure does not establish the number of buyers for your home.
Separate the typical-home index from the sold mix.
The detached benchmark was $739,400, down 0.95% from September 2025. The average sale price was $823,483, up 5.18%. Those different directions do not conflict: the benchmark and average measure different things. Neither figure establishes an asking price for a particular property.
Test the higher-value alternatives separately.
The September package records 148 detached sales at $1 million and above across four price bands. That citywide count does not establish activity in your neighbourhood or your specific estate-home segment. Compare the alternatives a buyer with the relevant budget could realistically choose.
| District | Benchmark | Months of supply |
|---|---|---|
| West | $993,700 | 2.73 |
| City Centre | $981,300 | 3.50 |
| North West | $781,400 | 2.86 |
| South | $709,400 | 2.75 |
| South East | $698,900 | 3.34 |
| North | $640,200 | 3.19 |
| North East | $556,600 | 5.61 |
| East | $476,200 | 3.33 |

Three checks before setting a launch plan
- Separate recent completed sales from listings that remain available; an asking price is not a completed sale.
- Record above-grade measured area, usable lot, renovation scope and known condition for each credible alternative.
- Match any proposed preparation work to a buyer question, then test its budget and delay against launching as-is.
Record the alternatives in the actual-home comparison. Test your assumptions using the prepare, launch or wait calculator, then discuss the evidence in a Seller Competition Review.
Scope and limitations
The figures describe this reporting month, geography and property type. They do not determine the value or condition of an individual home. Supply ratios, price measures and reported days on market are context, not a guaranteed outcome. Source data can be revised; the figures above preserve the snapshot checked October 8, 2026.
