Wellington County Real Estate Market Update Q2 – June 2025
The regional real estate landscape in June 2025 reflects a market in transition, shaped by growing inventory, stabilizing prices, and cautious buyer behaviour. Despite modest price gains, surging listings and increased days on market suggest buyers are firmly in the driver’s seat. For both buyers and sellers, navigating this market requires strategic insight and flexibility.
This month, we wanted to take a look overall at the region. We examined what the numbers are telling us for each market area. The attached table shows an overview of what type of market each area is in. It also includes the main numbers you want to know as a homeowner. This is useful even if you’re looking to buy or sell in the area.
Insights for Buyers
Looking specifically at Wellington County, June brought a substantial increase in available inventory, with new listings rising 37.35% year-over-year to 798. This influx of options has helped balance affordability pressures, even as median sale prices nudged up 1.26% to $785,000 and the average sale price increased 2.51% to $855,945. The rise in expired listings—up 62.9% to 101—further indicates that many sellers are struggling to attract offers, giving buyers more negotiating power.
The unit sales-to-listings ratio dropped significantly to 36.22% (down 13.18% from last year), solidifying the shift into buyer’s market territory. With the average days on market increasing to 36 days (up from 31), buyers have more time and leverage to make informed decisions. Notably, homes in the $750K–$999K range saw a slight increase in sales (+1.2%), suggesting some buyer confidence at mid-to-upper price points.
Insights for Sellers
Although home values have remained relatively stable in Wellington County, the year to date average sale price is up 2.37% to $840,313—sellers face a more competitive environment. With a year-to-date 26.79% increase in listings and a 55% surge in expired listings (431 so far in 2025), standing out in the market requires pricing precision and compelling presentation.
Freehold properties have shown some resilience, with June sales volume up 17.41% year-over-year and unit sales up 17.71%. However, the condominium and vacant land segments have weakened sharply, with sales volumes down 33.05% and 83.11%, respectively. Sellers in these segments must temper expectations and consider strategic timing or incentives to attract attention.
📊 Market Outlook
Looking ahead, the Wellington County market is expected to remain buyer-leaning in the short term. Inventory levels are high, interest rate uncertainty continues to weigh on sentiment, and longer selling timelines persist. However, the slight uptick in overall sales volume (+3.23% in June) and stable prices suggest a degree of underlying market resilience.
The key challenges ahead include managing prolonged selling times and maintaining pricing discipline in a saturated market. For buyers, the coming months may offer well-timed opportunities, especially as motivated sellers seek to adjust to evolving conditions.
