December wrapped up with 20 sales in Auburn Bay — an 11.1% increase year-over-year, though year-to-date totals remain 16.6% lower than 2024 as sales softened through fall. Inventory rose to 44 units (+57.1% Y/Y), pushing months of supply to 2.20, shifting conditions toward balance. 14 new listings entered the market (-12.5% Y/Y), helping slow further inventory buildup.
Prices continued to adjust from peak levels. The residential benchmark price moved to $602,100 (-5.6% Y/Y), with all property types trending downward on both annual and short-term measures:
Detached: $756,600 (-4.7% Y/Y)
Semi-Detached: $511,500 (-4.7% Y/Y)
Row: $434,900 (-5.8% Y/Y)
Apartment: $329,200 (-8.8% Y/Y)
The six-month trend signals continued mild downward pressure as the community transitions from the post-pandemic seller’s market to a more balanced environment heading into 2026.
