Benchmark Price: $377,467 (↓3.2% YoY)
Market Trend: Seton’s apartment-heavy market is cooling. High supply and affordability continue to attract first-time buyers and investors, but price pressures remain downward due to oversupply.
🔹 Row/Townhomes
Sales: 3 units (low sample size)
Benchmark Price: Not statistically reliable due to volume
Trend: Limited product available in this category, but ongoing development may expand townhome offerings by 2026.
🔹 Detached & Semi-Detached
Not applicable for Q2 2025 – no recorded benchmark or sales activity for these property types in Seton. Most detached homes in the area are still under development or pre-construction.
