The number of homes sold in Simcoe & District via the MLS® System of the Cornerstone Association of REALTORS® (Cornerstone) totaled 93 units in June 2025. This was an increase of 17.7% (14 sales) from June 2024.
Home sales were 8.8% below the five-year average and 19.1% below the 10-year average for the month of June.
On a year-to-date basis, home sales totaled 477 units over the first six months of the year. This was a moderate decrease of 8.1% from the same period in 2024. “Home sales pulled back slightly from May’s pace but remained well ahead of the same time last year. However, the real story was on the supply side. The number of newly listed properties climbed to the highest total for the month on record, and the second highest of any single month ever,” said Drew Hemsley, Cornerstone spokesperson for the Simcoe and District market area. “With new listings outpacing sales by nearly 3 to 1, it should come as no surprise that overall inventory continued to climb, sitting significantly above the long-term average for the month. Meanwhile, the MLS® HPI composite Benchmark Price held steady, up from the end of 2024 but down slightly year over year. With elevated inventory and record setting new listings, market conditions continue to favour buyers, as they have consistently throughout 2025.”
