What Days on Market Actually Tells a Seller
A segment with a lower days-on-market figure generally has stronger buyer demand relative to supply at current pricing. A segment with a higher figure, like the York Region condo average at 40 days, generally signals more room for buyer negotiation and a greater need for pricing precision.
Days on market for a specific listing should be compared against the average for its own segment and community, not against the region as a whole. A Newmarket detached home sitting at 35 days is behaving differently than a York Region condo sitting at 35 days.
