Detached benchmark prices were lower than a year earlier in both communities, by 7.68% in Bradford and 8.45% in Newmarket. A year over year change does not predict the next month.
Bradford had 33 detached sales in September and Newmarket had 36, and the mix of homes sold affects every monthly figure. Compare the property you would sell with the property you would buy, not the two community figures. Apply the net sheet framework to the Newmarket sale price to estimate proceeds, and see How Much Does It Cost to Move Up in York Region? for the buying side costs.
This comparison uses detached homes only, so it fits a move from one detached home to another. If you own a townhouse or a semi detached home, your starting point is different. TRREB reported 9 attached, row and townhouse sales in Newmarket and 5 in Bradford in September, too few for a reliable monthly comparison.
