## Stable Sales Volume

Downtown recorded 56 sales during the September 2026 observation period. This figure matches the 56 sales reported for the October 2026 reference period. The consistency suggests steady buyer activity without a sharp acceleration or decline between the two months. The metric covers all property types within the neighbourhood boundary as defined by the source.

The identical count in consecutive months indicates that transaction frequency remained constant. Without accompanying price or inventory data, this stability reflects volume only. It does not confirm whether homes sold at higher, lower, or unchanged prices. The observation period aligns with the calendar month for each respective report. Sources:

## Amenity Density

Fifty-seven amenity points are mapped within Downtown, with transit stops comprising the largest category at 34 locations. Parks account for 5 of the points, while childcare facilities number 5. Grocery stores total 3, and recreation sites reach 7. These counts represent mapped presence rather than service quality or accessibility metrics.

However, the data does not specify route frequencies, coverage areas, or connectivity to other regions. The amenity list includes specific names such as Westminster Pier Park and École Qayqayt Elementary School. Sources:
