The number of homes sold through the MLS® System of the Woodstock Ingersoll Tillsonburg & Area Association of REALTORS® totaled 102 units in December 2025. This was up by 6.3% (six sales) from December 2024.
Home sales were 3% above the five-year average and 2.6% above the 10-year average for the month of December.
On an annual basis, home sales totaled 1,631 units over the course of 2025. This was essentially unchanged, down just 0.2% (three sales) from 2024.
“December’s MLS® home sales came in right about where we expect for this time of year. New listings eased back from the busy fall stretch, and active listings stayed higher than we typically see at this time of year,” said Derrek de Jonge, President of the Woodstock Ingersoll Tillsonburg & Area Association of REALTORS®. “Prices continue to adjust, with the MLS® HPI composite benchmark trending down for the seventh consecutive month. Market conditions remain close to balanced with a slight tilt in favour of buyers as overall inventory remains well above average for this time of year. The Bank of Canada held its policy rate steady and motioned it could be there for some time to come in its mid-December announcement, offering stability for those looking to buy or early in 2026.”
