Residential home sales activity recorded through the MLS® for the Niagara Association of REALTORS® (NAR) totaled 378 units in February 2026, compared to 405 in February 2025.
In February, the Niagara Association of REALTORS® listed 938 residential properties compared to 1,128 in February 2025. The average days it took to sell a home in February 2026 was 54 days, a 27 % decrease from February 2025.
“The decrease in new listings this February has created a tighter environment for sellers, while the composite benchmark price continues to provide a more sustainable entry point for buyers. The data reveals an interesting trend of selective resilience; it is encouraging to see specific communities across Niagara showing month-over-month growth in sales volume, ” said Stefani Konidis, Chair of the Niagara Association of REALTORS® . “It proves that when the right home in the right neighborhood hits the market, buyers are moving with purpose. ”
“The trend of selective resilience is particularly evident in the mid-range market, where we’ve seen a notable uptick in sales activity from January to February, ” said Konidis. “Even with a lower number of total listings, the speed at which these homes are selling demonstrates that there is a deep pool of motivated and qualified buyers waiting for the spring market to hit its stride.
” As always, obtaining the guidance and support of a local Niagara REALTOR® is the best solution to navigating our ever-changing and sometimes complicated real estate market.
