Where Buyers Are Spending Their Attention

Month vs Month — What Changed and Why It Matters

The showing data in this report is drawn from June 2026. A true month-over-month showings comparison requires a prior month's totals, which aren't yet in hand — so the trend line below reflects the within-month rhythm of activity rather than a month-to-month change. June on its own tells a clear demand story.

Daily volume ran roughly 249 to 458 transactions per day. The first two weeks were the strongest — multiple 400-plus days including June 4 (458), June 6 (451) and June 11 (440) — before activity eased through the final ten days, with June 21 (278) and June 26 (296) among the quietest. The standout dip was June 8 (249), well below its neighbours. The shape is consistent with peak spring urgency in early-to-mid June cooling into summer. The data doesn't confirm specific weather or day-of-week causes, so those remain possibilities rather than conclusions. (March-break timing isn't a factor in June.)

What it means: The clearest signal isn't just volume — it's showings per listing, the truest measure of competition for a given home. The $400K–$499K band leads at 5.32 showings per listing, with $500K–$599K close behind at 5.08. Together those two bands drew nearly half of all sub-$1M activity. Above $700K, both share and intensity step down noticeably — a more selective, slower-moving buyer pool.

Buyer Competition by Price Band

The clearest read on competition is how much buyer attention each home draws. Showings per listing measures exactly that — the average number of showings a home in each price band attracted in June.

In plain language: Each bar shows how many showings the average listing drew in June. Homes in the $400K–$599K core each attracted about five showings — the strongest buyer demand per listing in the market. The entry level ($100K–$199K, 2.58) and the $800K–$899K band (3.10) saw the fewest, meaning a home there competed for a thinner, more selective pool of buyers. For a seller, more showings per listing means more buyers actively competing for the home — which supports firmer pricing and shorter timelines.

What This Means for Sellers Right Now

• The $400K–$600K band is the market's hot centre. If your home is priced here, buyer demand per listing is the strongest in the market — roughly five showings each. Price it right and meaningful traffic should follow quickly.
• Above $700K, plan for a more selective buyer pool. Demand per listing steps down noticeably. Expect a longer runway and sharper pricing to convert interest into offers.
• In the $1M+ tier, the real market sits under $1.4M. That's where roughly 70% of luxury showings happened in June. Above $2M, activity is thin and buyer-specific.
• Competition for buyers is fiercest in the core. The $400K–$599K bands draw the most showings per listing — roughly five each — so a well-priced home here should generate strong, fast interest. Higher price points compete for a thinner pool.
• Front-load your launch. June's own daily pattern shows energy is highest early in a window and softens later. The same logic applies to a listing's first two weeks, when buyer attention peaks.
