After a jump in August, both home sales and prices in Trent Hills fell in September.
Last month, 19 homes sold for a median price of $540,000, compared with 26 sales in August with a median price of $561,250. That means sales were down 27 per cent and prices off 4 per cent from the previous month.
Looking back at September 2025, 36 homes sold with a median price of $555,000, so sales were down 47 per cent and prices fell 3 per cent, year over year.
Seventeen of the homes sold last month were detached, one was a semi-detached that sold for $389,000 and a condo-townhouse went for $610,000.
In all of Northumberland County, 118 homes sold, the same as in August, and the median price was $630,000, up from $625,000. In September 2025. 129 homes sold with a median price of $670,000.
“Sales activity is slowing as we enter the fall market, however, we continue to see fluctuations in price trends across the Central Lakes Association Region based on location,” said Christine Riley, president of the association. “These differences highlight how localized real estate continues to be, and why it’s important for buyers and sellers to understand the conditions in their specific market.”
Tick Talk raises awareness
As you walk into Ferris Park, or in other outdoor spots around Trent Hills you may have noticed the small signs that say Tick Talk with Jake Locke.
The signs include a QR code that takes you to a Facebook page where the friends of Jake Locke follow his goal of advocating to help those suffering from chronic Lyme disease.
Locked died last November of toxic shock syndrome. He had been battling Lyme disease for a long time and hoped to become an advocate for prevention and treatment once he recovered. His family and friends are carrying on that effort.
This is prime tick season as the insects remain active well into the cold weather.
The Facebook page is full of helpful advice on how to avoid ticks and what to do if one does latch on. You can learn more about the project by watching this Global News report.
