Real Estate 101 What’s New for Home Search Wahi Listings Just Got Smarter With Built-In Market Data Wahi Listings Just Got Smarter With Built-In Market Data FollowFollowFollowFollow Wahi property listings now include a Market Data section, providing valuable insights and data on the local market all in one place. By Kristin Doucet | 5 minute read Oct 17, 2025 The Market Data section is now built into Wahi’s property listing pages. When you open a listing and scroll down, you’ll find relevant details about the neighbourhood. You’ll see four key metrics for the neighbourhood over the past 30 days: Average days on market shows how long properties typically stay listed before selling. Fewer days mean homes are moving quickly. More days suggest buyers are taking more time or sellers are adjusting prices. New listings tells you how many properties came onto the market recently. More listings can mean more options for buyers. Fewer listings can signal limited inventory. Units sold shows how many homes closed in the area. High sales activity paired with low inventory often means competition. Low sales with high inventory may favour buyers. Median sold price gives you the middle point of what homes actually sold for. This is what buyers paid, not what sellers asked for. Each metric includes comparisons to the same period in 2024, 2023, and 2022. You can spot trends over time and see if the market is heating up, cooling down, or holding steady. The Market Balance Indicator At the top of the section, a slider shows whether the market favors buyers or sellers. A balanced market means supply and demand are relatively even. When the marker moves toward the buyer’s side, more inventory exists relative to demand. When it shifts toward the seller’s side, competition is higher and inventory is tighter. The data is filtered by property type, including detached houses, semi-detached houses, townhouses, and condos. If you’re viewing a detached house, you see data for detached houses in that area. Condos show condo data. This keeps the information relevant to what you’re actually shopping for. How to Use It A map at the top of the section highlights the neighborhood boundary. Click “View Market Data” to open a larger view where you can explore other properties in the area. The map lets you see what else is available or has sold recently nearby. Say you’re looking at a detached house in a Toronto neighborhood on Wahi. The listing price seems high compared to what you’ve seen elsewhere. You scroll to Market Data and check the median sold price for detached houses in that area. If the listing sits well above the median, you know you might have room to negotiate or should speak to your Realtor to justify the premium. Say you’re considering a condo and notice new listings increased compared to last year, while sales remained flat. More inventory without more buyers suggests less pressure to rush into a decision. You can take time to compare options and negotiate. The Time You Save In the past, gathering neighborhood data meant visiting multiple websites. You’d check one site for recent sales, another for market trends, and a third to understand inventory levels. Each property required repeating this research. Now the information loads automatically when you open a Wahi listing. No switching tabs, no cross-referencing numbers, no wondering if you’re looking at the right neighborhood. You see the property and its market position in one place. Wahi shows you actual sold prices from recent neighbourhood transactions. Comparables sit right beside the listing details. You also get market trends, inventory levels, and average selling times for the area. Everything works together in one view, giving you the complete picture to make informed decisions. Making Better Decisions You’ve been watching Wahi listings in a specific area for weeks and a house catches your eye. You scroll to Market Data and see homes in this neighbourhood are selling quickly. Inventory has dropped compared to last year. Prices have climbed. The numbers point to a competitive market with limited supply. You know you’ll likely face multiple offers and need to act fast. Another neighbourhood tells a different story. Homes sit longer, inventory has grown, and prices have stayed flat. That market gives you time to think and room to negotiate. Market Data appears right on Wahi listings so you spend less time hunting for information and more time evaluating if a home fits your budget and timeline. The data matches each property’s specific location and property type. You see only the information that matters for that particular listing. Buyers combine this market data with everything else on the page. Sold prices show what people actually paid for similar homes. Comparables let you see how this property measures up. The house value estimate gives you a pricing benchmark. You take all these data points and discuss them with your Realtor. The information works together to help you understand what you’re getting into before you make an offer.
