While the raw numbers show lighter activity compared to last year, the broader story suggests a market that may be quietly stabilizing as we move toward the busiest time of the year.https://www.youtube.com/embed/2h8TYJrFsY02026-03-13T15:42:07.000Zhttps://www.davidsdelaat.com/blog/the-state-of-real-estate-in-niagara-january-20262026-04-20T14:18:43.996Zmonthly0.7https://i.ytimg.com/vi/A99wkxDogOc/hqdefault.jpgDavids & DeLaat Market Update - January 2026As we begin 2026, January gives us something valuable: perspective.

Record-breaking inventory levels collided with historically low demand, creating a prolonged imbalance that defined the year from start to finish.https://www.youtube.com/embed/NLClK440L-g2026-01-23T21:15:41.000Zhttps://www.davidsdelaat.com/blog/the-state-of-real-estate-in-niagara-end-of-year-20252026-04-20T14:18:45.117Zmonthly0.7https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Z7aPcwkfdO4/hqdefault.jpgDavids & DeLaat Market Update - End of 2025As we close the books on 2025, one thing is clear: this was one of the most challenging years the Niagara real estate market has ever experienced.https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z7aPcwkfdO42025-12-22T17:46:48.000Zhttps://www.davidsdelaat.com/blog/the-state-of-real-estate-in-niagara-market-update-fall-20252026-04-20T14:18:45.720Zmonthly0.7https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-KE9R2FZZss/hqdefault.jpgDavids & DeLaat Market Update - Fall 2025The story of September and October 2025 is clear: Niagara is still in a deep correction, and this fall has made the gap between inventory and demand even more pronounced.https://www.youtube.com/embed/-KE9R2FZZss2025-11-18T17:12:42.000Zhttps://www.davidsdelaat.com/blog/the-state-of-real-estate-in-niagara-market-update-end-of-summer-20252026-04-20T14:18:46.288Zmonthly0.7https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZPx14iT0ojg/hqdefault.jpgDavids & DeLaat Market Update - Summer 2025After a quiet start to the season, summer brought a mix of activity and caution across Niagara’s real estate market.https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZPx14iT0ojg2025-11-17T21:53:07.000Zhttps://www.davidsdelaat.com/blog/the-state-of-real-estate-in-niagara-market-update-june-20252026-04-20T14:18:47.405Zmonthly0.7https://i.ytimg.com/vi/221FL8l-Obc/hqdefault.jpgDavids & DeLaat Market Update - June 2025If May felt like a turning point, June hit the brakes.
