What's happening in the appointment centre?  August 23 - 29

This week’s standout is the continued summer slowdown, with August increasingly looking like a true summer market. Appointments declined 9.3% in just one week, while new listings fell 15.7% and sales dropped 13.0%, signalling a quieter final full week of the month as buyers and sellers took a late-summer pause. Buyer attention, however, continues to shift depending on location: Hamilton held at $500K–$599K, Halton moved up to $1M–$1.49M, Haldimand saw $400K–$499K and $700K–$799K share the #1 spot, while Niagara remained at $500K–$599K. With August showing the kind of slowdown we typically associate with summer, the focus now shifts to September—and whether the return to fall routines brings renewed activity, fresh inventory, and a noticeable change in buyer demand.

<p><span data-teams="true">This week&rsquo;s standout isn&rsquo;t the slight dip in appointments&mdash;it&rsquo;s the <strong>surge of new inventory</strong>. New listings jumped <strong>14.7% in just one week</strong>, while sales rose <strong>7.9%</strong>, bringing more fresh choice to the market while transactions also gained momentum. But buyer attention isn&rsquo;t landing in the same place everywhere: <strong>Hamilton&rsquo;s #1 price range shifted to $500K&ndash;$599K, Halton moved to $900K&ndash;$999K, while Haldimand held at $700K&ndash;$799K and Niagara remained at $500K&ndash;$599K.</strong> Heading toward September, the bigger story may be less about whether buyers return and more about <strong>where that demand concentrates as new inventory arrives&mdash;and which price points emerge as the early fall sweet spots.</strong></span></p>

What's happening in the appointment centre?  August 16 - 22

This week’s standout isn’t the slight dip in appointments—it’s the surge of new inventory. New listings jumped 14.7% in just one week, while sales rose 7.9%, bringing more fresh choice to the market while transactions also gained momentum. But buyer attention isn’t landing in the same place everywhere: Hamilton’s #1 price range shifted to $500K–$599K, Halton moved to $900K–$999K, while Haldimand held at $700K–$799K and Niagara remained at $500K–$599K. Heading toward September, the bigger story may be less about whether buyers return and more about where that demand concentrates as new inventory arrives—and which price points emerge as the early fall sweet spots.

<p><strong>This week&rsquo;s numbers tell me the market isn&rsquo;t quiet, it&rsquo;s negotiating.<br></strong></p>
<p>We logged&nbsp;<strong>2,911 appointments and 292 sales</strong> last week. That works out to roughly <strong>10 showings for every property sold</strong>, which is actually a little more efficient than our 30-day average.</p>
<p>That&rsquo;s an interesting market.</p>
<p>Buyers aren&rsquo;t rushing through the door, but they are making decisions. And with&nbsp;<strong>RE/MAX Escarpment &amp; Niagara recording a 97.3% sales-to-new-listings ratio</strong>, there isn&rsquo;t as much fresh inventory replacing what&rsquo;s selling as you might expect in the middle of August.</p>
<p>My read heading into the next couple of weeks:&nbsp;<strong>watch inventory, not just showing activity.</strong> If new listings remain tight while buyers continue converting at this pace, we could enter the fall market with less choice than buyers are expecting.&nbsp;For sellers considering September, that may be an opportunity worth discussing now.</p>

This week’s numbers tell me the market isn’t quiet, it’s negotiating. We logged 2,911 appointments and 292 sales last week.

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>2026 is holding its ground &mdash; and that&rsquo;s a positive signal as we move through August.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This week, <strong>2,922 appointments were booked</strong>, up <strong>0.5% from the previous week</strong> and virtually even with the same period last year. We also saw <strong>266 properties sold</strong>, producing an <strong>Appointment/Sold Index of 11.0</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">What stands out is the recent momentum. At this point in August, appointment activity declined week-over-week in both <strong>2024 (-0.9%) and 2025 (-2.6%)</strong>. This year, we&rsquo;re moving in the opposite direction with a <strong>0.5% increase</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Looking further back, the comparable historical data also gives us reason for cautious optimism. In <strong>5 of the past 8 years (62.5%)</strong>, appointment activity increased in the following week.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>What could come next?</strong> If 2026 continues to hold its current momentum and follows the more common historical pattern, we could see appointment activity push back toward &mdash; or above &mdash; <strong>3,000 appointments next week</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For RE/MAX EN agents, the message is encouraging: <strong>buyer activity is holding steady, momentum is moving in the right direction, and the second half of August still has room to build.</strong></p>

<p>The latest Appointment Centre results for <strong>July 26&ndash;August 1</strong> show that the market continues to build on a solid summer. While <strong>2,907 appointments</strong> represented a modest week-over-week adjustment, buyer activity remains stronger than the comparable weeks in <strong>2022, 2024 and 2025</strong>, demonstrating that demand continues to trend in the right direction despite the typical seasonal slowdown heading into August.</p>
<p>Perhaps the strongest signal comes from the broader monthly picture. <strong>July finished with 14,107 appointments</strong>, a <strong>1.5% increase over July 2025</strong>, confirming that buyer engagement continues to improve year over year. RE/MAX Escarpment &amp; Niagara also delivered an outstanding <strong>102.6% sales-to-new-listings ratio</strong>, outperforming the regional average of <strong>85.2%</strong> and highlighting the continued strength of well-priced homes in our market.</p>
<p>As August begins, the market's fundamentals remain encouraging. Consistent buyer activity, improving year-over-year performance, and strong absorption rates suggest that momentum is carrying forward. <strong>If current trends continue, the summer market is on track to finish stronger than many initially predicted</strong>, setting the stage for a healthy and active fall market built on confidence rather than urgency.</p>

<p>The market continues to defy the typical summer slowdown. The Appointment Centre recorded <strong>3,180 appointments</strong> this week&mdash;only <strong>0.9%</strong> below last week&mdash;showing buyer interest remains remarkably strong. With <strong>327 new listings</strong> hitting the market and <strong>301 homes sold</strong>, activity continues to outpace what we'd normally expect this time of year.</p>
<p>The standout metric this week is the <strong>Appointment/Sold Index</strong>, which surged from <strong>8.6 to 10.6</strong>.

What's happening in the appointment centre? July 19-25

The market continues to defy the typical summer slowdown. The Appointment Centre recorded 3,180 appointments this week—only 0.9% below last week—showing buyer interest remains remarkably strong. With 327 new listings hitting the market and 301 homes sold, activity continues to outpace what we'd normally expect this time of year.
The standout metric this week is the Appointment/Sold Index, which surged from 8.6 to 10.6. Historically, when showing activity rises faster than completed sales, it often signals that buyers are actively positioning themselves before making offers. In other words, today's appointments could become tomorrow's sales.
If this trend holds, the market is well positioned to carry stronger-than-normal momentum into August. Rather than fading with the season, buyer demand appears to be rebuilding—setting the stage for a busy late summer and a potentially stronger start to the fall market.

<p>This week's Appointment Centre recorded <strong>3,208 appointments</strong>, down just <strong>1.7%</strong> from last week&mdash;a very typical summer adjustment. The encouraging news is that those appointments continue to translate into strong sales, with <strong>372 properties sold</strong> and an <strong>Appointment-to-Sold Index of 8.6</strong>, one of the strongest conversion rates seen in recent years.</p>
<p>Looking at the bigger picture, today's market continues to outperform where it matters. Compared to <strong>2025</strong>, appointment activity is slightly ahead for the month, and buyers are converting to sales even more efficiently. Compared to the exceptionally busy <strong>2020 and 2021</strong> markets, appointment volumes are lower, but today's buyers are far more decisive, resulting in stronger sales relative to the number of showings.</p>
<p>After several years of changing market conditions, this is the type of trend that points to a healthier and more balanced market. Serious buyers are active, well-priced homes are moving, and the numbers continue to suggest steady momentum heading toward the fall market.</p>

<h1 style="text-align: center;">RE/MAX Escarpment &amp; Niagara Comes Together for the Fourth Annual Golf Tournament in Support of Keaton's House</h1>
<p style="text-align: center;">The Fourth Annual RE/MAX Escarpment &amp; Niagara Golf Tournament brought together REALTORS&reg;, industry partners and sponsors for a day of connection, camaraderie and giving back at Heron Point Golf Links in Alberton.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">While the tournament has always been about supporting local charities, this year's event carried even greater meaning.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Following the sudden passing of RE/MAX Escarpment &amp; Niagara Broker of Record Conrad Zurini at the beginning of June, it was the first time such a large group from the brokerage community had come together.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Despite the emotions surrounding the day, organizers felt it was important to continue with the tournament in Conrad's honour while raising funds for Keaton's House.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Bringing the Brokerage Together</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">For tournament co-founder Adam Clermont, the goal has always been to create an event that brings the entire RE/MAX community together.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"We were excited to bring everyone back together. RE/MAX has such a great community, so it's really nice to have an event like this where everybody gets to connect and be social for a change. We get to talk about something other than interest rates and property values. It's fun to have that camaraderie and spend the day together."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Clermont explained that while there had been a golf tournament before, it involved a much smaller group.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"We talked about how much fun golf tournaments are and decided to put together a bigger one for the entire brokerage where we could really show off RE/MAX."</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><br><img src="https://cdn.buttercms.com/oklOKD73StmY0tnICwdQ" alt="undefined"></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Long-Time Partners Supporting a Great Cause</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">Escarpment Law was proud to support the tournament as title sponsor, continuing its long-standing partnership with RE/MAX Escarpment &amp; Niagara.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"We are proud partners of RE/MAX Escarpment &amp; Niagara, and this is a really admirable cause," said Amey Hanna.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Alanna Stephen added that the event is an opportunity to connect with the people they work alongside throughout the year.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Mission35 Mortgages founder and sponsor Brian Hogben, said events like this are about much more than business.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"We've been with RE/MAX for so long. It's great to collaborate, and it's a good opportunity to talk to people about the challenges they're experiencing in the market because it's been tough. It's always nice to come to events like this and celebrate the relationship, and not have it be about business for a couple of hours."</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Honouring Conrad Zurini</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">For tournament co-founder Frank Salvatore, the day was emotional from start to finish.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"We are a big family here, and today is an exceptionally special day because we lost our dear friend, mentor and leader in our industry, Conrad Zurini."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">When news of Conrad's passing first came, Salvatore's immediate reaction was to cancel the tournament.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"As we sat together and thought about it, we wanted to do something for the charity and in honour of him, so it all came together."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Looking around the course, he said he was grateful they made that decision.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"We are grieving, hugging and consoling each other, and I'm glad we made this decision."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Having known Conrad for more than 30 years and worked alongside him for 26, Salvatore reflected on the impact he had on everyone around him.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"Conrad was an absolutely incredible human being who touched the lives of so many people. Everyone has a story. His office door was only 15 steps away from mine, so I saw him regularly. He was just an incredible human being. The Zurini family is an amazing family. They treat us like family, so we're all happy to be here."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">He added that the motivation behind the tournament has always remained the same.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"The motivation has always been to help local charities in our area."</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Supporting Keaton's House</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">During the evening dinner, new Broker of Record Joey Zurini thanked everyone for coming together during such a difficult time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"Looking around the room, it's really clear that this is so much more than just a golf tournament."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">She reminded everyone why the tournament continues to be so important to the brokerage.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"We are here to support Keaton's House, and it's a cause that means a great deal to our RE/MAX family. Keaton's House provides compassionate care for children with life-limiting illnesses while supporting their parents, siblings and loved ones. They offer respite care, grief support and, most importantly, a place where families can come together and simply make memories."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The tournament raised&nbsp;<strong>$25,000</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"This year was a little extra special, but we will get through it together. Thank you all for your wonderful words to me and my family. Thank you for supporting us and for coming out to be here together because this is the stuff that keeps us going."</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The evening concluded with a toast led by realtor Lori VanDinther.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">With everyone raising a glass, the room shared one simple tribute.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">"To Conrad."</p>

RE/MAX Escarpment & Niagara Comes Together for the Fourth Annual Golf Tournament in Support of Keaton's House

More than a golf tournament. More than a fundraiser.

The Fourth Annual RE/MAX Escarpment & Niagara Golf Tournament brought together REALTORS®, industry partners and sponsors for a day of connection, camaraderie and giving back at Heron Point Golf Links in Alberton. While the tournament has always been about supporting local charities, this year's event carried even greater meaning. Following the sudden passing of RE/MAX Escarpment & Niagara Broker of Record Conrad Zurini at the beginning of June, it was the first time such a large group from the brokerage community had come together. Despite the emotions surrounding the day, organizers felt it was important to continue with the tournament in Conrad's honour while raising funds for Keaton's House.
