If you're thinking about making a move, April's real estate numbers are speaking loud and clear—Winnipeg’s market is buzzing this spring! We saw a notable increase in buyer activity, with MLS® sales jumping 8% over April 2024. That’s 1,523 homes sold, making this the second-best April on record for overall sales and dollar volume, right behind the red-hot market of 2021.
Despite more homes flying off the market, active listings were actually down 13% compared to last year. That means inventory is tighter, and motivated buyers are acting fast—often with strong offers in hand. The total dollar volume exceeded $623 million, up 12% year-over-year, showing just how much confidence buyers are bringing to the table.
Detached homes stole the spotlight again, with 1,043 sales (up 7%) and an average sale price of $465,402—also a 7% increase. This price point marks the second-highest on record for residential detached, just shy of the all-time high we hit in March. Clearly, well-presented single-family homes are still in high demand.
On the condo side, it was a slightly different story. Sales dipped by 4%, and the average condo price came in at $274,483, down 4% from April 2024. But don’t let that fool you—condos remain an appealing choice for first-time buyers, investors, and downsizers, especially with rising detached prices.
