Local pages · Market trends

The market, for any place you can name or draw.

A market page on your own site: active and sold statistics for a city, a neighbourhood, a saved area or a shape the visitor draws on the map, for any property type and any period from 30 days to two years. The figures are computed by the data feed itself, so they are the board's numbers, not a spreadsheet someone forgot to update.

City, area and figures shown are an example.

Any scope

A city, a neighbourhood, or a shape drawn by hand.

Every figure honours the same filters a listing search does, including an arbitrary polygon. That is what lets a hand-drawn area have a market page of its own, and what keeps the trends page and the listings page describing the same place.

location_cityCity or neighbourhood

Search by city, then narrow to a neighbourhood as the feed names it. The page opens on the visitor's own city when their location says so, and on Toronto otherwise.

drawAn area you draw

Outline any shape on the map and the whole page recomputes for it: the ring is sent with every request, in the same form the listings map already uses for a drawn search.

starA saved area

Signed-in customers see their watched areas under Your saved areas, so the neighbourhood they are watching for listings is one tap from its market figures.

functionsComputed by the feed. Medians, days on market, sale-to-list and counts, grouped by month, come back from one aggregate request per half of the page. Nothing is downloaded and re-added on our side, so a whole page is a handful of requests, and the figures match what the board holds.
Two halves

What is for sale, and what actually sold.

The active half describes today: how many listings, how many arrived this month, the median asking price, asking dollars per square foot, and the mix by property type. The sold half describes the recent past: median sold price, median days on market, the share sold below asking, and the number of sales in the period, each also charted month by month.

  • Six residential categories. Detached, semi-detached, link, freehold townhouse, condo townhouse and condo apartment, or all types together.
  • Five periods. The last 30 days, 3, 6 or 12 months, or two years. The charts always show up to 24 months of monthly points.
  • Side by side. Put a second scope beside the first and read every figure in two columns: a city against a neighbourhood, a saved area against a drawn one.
  • Honest about depth. Sold coverage in the feed only becomes meaningful from mid-2024, so the page never draws a five-year line through noise.
Reading it

Two figures that say whose market it is.

Numbers on their own make a visitor do the interpreting. Two derived figures do it for them, and both are explained on the page in plain words.

  • Months of inventory. How long today's active stock would take to clear at the recent pace of sales, using the last three completed months. Under 4 months is read as favouring sellers, over 6 as favouring buyers. The current month is left out because a part-month inflates the figure exactly when someone wants a fresh one.
  • Market heat. A score from 0 to 100 built from two things: how inventory changed against the prior period, and the median days on market. Falling stock and quick sales push it up; rising stock and slow sales pull it down. Up to 33 reads Cool, up to 66 Balanced, above that Hot. The same score is used everywhere on the site.
  • Sold over vs under asking. The share of sales each month that closed above, at or below the asking price: the clearest read on negotiating room.
  • Where prices sit. Every sale in the scope over the last 24 months on one axis, so a visitor sees the spread, not just the median.

The same numbers where the decision is made.

A visitor rarely opens a market page first. They open a listing. So each listing page carries a market panel for its own neighbourhood, from the same statistics, with a verdict written in one line.

  • A verdict, not a table first. "Asking 4% under the neighbourhood median", or "in line with the market", with the heat label beside it.
  • This unit against the median. Asking price, price per square foot, maintenance fee, property tax and days on market, side by side with the neighbourhood's figures.
  • Where the price sits. Every sale in the neighbourhood over the last 24 months on one axis, with this listing marked.
  • A band, not a false precision. The board publishes floor area as a range, so price per square foot is shown as a range too, and the panel says why.
  • Near this size. What else is for sale around the same floor area, so the comparison is against real alternatives.
Everywhere else

On the home page, and behind the board's rules.

The trends page is the deep view. A snapshot of it sits on your home page, and the sold half of everything follows the rules the board sets for sold data.

homeMarket snapshot on the home page

Active listings, median list price, median days listed and new this month, each with its change against the prior period, for the visitor's own city. The section's headline, text, bullets and button are yours to write under Site edit.

lock_openSold data unlocks once

Active figures come from the listings already shown publicly, so they are open to everyone. Sold prices, days on market and sale-to-list come from the board's VOW feed and sit behind sign-in and its Terms of Use. A visitor accepts once and the sold half opens across the whole site.

verifiedOne source, one answer

The home page snapshot and the trends page read the same feed. Two pages answering the same question from different sources would let one city read two ways; here it cannot.

Plans

Part of Dominance AI.

Market trends is included in the Dominance AI plan for brokerages, and appears on the brokerage site and on every agent site under it. The active half needs your IDX feed; the sold half needs the board's VOW feed on your account as well.

Questions

Before you turn it on.

Where do the numbers come from?

From the data feed's aggregate statistics over board data: medians, days on market, sale-to-list and counts, optionally grouped by month. The feed computes them itself under the same filters a listing search uses, which is why a drawn area or a single neighbourhood can have its own figures.

Why can some visitors not see sold prices?

Sold data comes from the board's VOW feed, and the board requires a visitor to sign in and accept its Terms of Use before seeing it. The active half of the page is open to everyone; the sold half shows a lock until the visitor signs in and agrees, once.

How far back do the charts go?

Up to 24 months. Sold coverage in the feed only becomes meaningful from mid-2024, and the page would rather show two honest years than a longer line drawn through too few sales.

What is "market heat"?

A score from 0 to 100 that combines two things: how the number of active listings changed against the prior period, and the median days on market. Up to 33 reads Cool, up to 66 Balanced, above that Hot. The same score appears on the trends page and on the market panel of every listing.

Can a visitor compare two places?

Yes. Side by side puts a second scope beside the first: another city, a neighbourhood, one of their saved areas or an area they drew. Every figure is shown in two columns.

Does it work on agent sites?

Yes. When the brokerage has Market trends, each agent's site under it carries the same page, the same home page snapshot and the same market panel on listings.

Which city does the page open on?

The visitor's own, when their location resolves to an Ontario city the feed covers, and Toronto otherwise. They can search for any other city from the page.

Ready when you are

The market, for any place you can name or draw.

Market trends comes with Dominance AI. Active figures for every visitor, sold figures for those who sign in, and the same numbers on every listing page.
