What’s happening in the Appointment Centre? Dec 14 – 20

The drop from 2024 to 2025 is modest, not dramatic.  This is a normalization, not a retreat and is reflective of the decreased flow of new listings. Listings rose far less than buyer interest, that mismatch explains why listing activity is overshadowed by sales. The market didn’t lack buyers it lacked options, as a result mid-December wasn’t slow it was selective yet decisive. January 2026 won’t be driven by rates or demand, it will be driven by inventory. Buyers are already here. The question is how many sellers will join them?
