Sales activity increased across the Central Lakes region due to a September interest rate cut easing borrowing costs. Hastings County saw 168 sales with a slight price dip; Prince Edward County nearly doubled sales despite a small price drop. Northumberland, Durham, Kawartha Lakes, and Peterborough regions also reported higher sales with mixed price changes. Rising listings and longer market times reflect growing inventory. The upcoming Darlington Nuclear Project promises future economic growth and housing demand.
