## Resale Prices Stable Amid Modest Volume Decline

Gander recorded 121 residential sales from January through September 2026, representing a 2% decrease compared to the same period last year. The median sale price held steady at $335,000, while the average sale price reached $341,212 according to NLAR MLS data collected in October 2026. This stability suggests that despite slightly fewer transactions, pricing power remained consistent for sellers during the first three quarters of the year.

Inventory levels stood at 4.0 months of supply as of the October 2026 snapshot, a level typically associated with a balanced to slightly seller-favoured market. Homes sold in September averaged 38.4 days on market, which was faster than the previous year's pace. These indicators point to a market where well-priced properties continue to move efficiently without requiring significant concessions from sellers. Sources:

## New Construction Drives Higher Average Sale Prices

Twenty-three newly built homes sold in Gander between January and September 2026, accounting for approximately 16% of all residential sales in the city. The median price for these new builds was $450,000, substantially higher than the $335,000 median for resale properties. This premium reflects the cost of modern construction standards and features that differentiate new stock from the existing housing base.

The inclusion of new construction elevates the overall average sale price to $341,212, creating a gap between the mean and median values. Buyers seeking entry-level options may find the resale segment more accessible, while those prioritizing newer amenities face a higher price threshold. This segmentation means that aggregate price statistics must be interpreted carefully to avoid overstating the typical cost of an existing home in Gander. Sources:

## The strongest counter-case

The Gander Loop area, a broader geographic scope including surrounding communities, shows a buyer's market with 12.6 months of supply and lower median prices, indicating that Gander city proper does not reflect all regional conditions. Sources:

## Next 3 months, January 2027

Prices: flat. 0% Why: Current 4.0 months of supply supports stable pricing; no immediate supply shock indicated. Buyers: either way. Balanced market allows negotiation but limited selection pressure. Sellers: either way. Well-priced homes sell within 40 days; timing is flexible. Watch: Increase in active listings above 5 months of supply would signal softening. Confidence: moderate. Sources:

## Next 6 months, April 2027

Prices: flat. 0% Why: Seasonal spring listing increases may test inventory levels, but current absorption rates suggest equilibrium. Buyers: wait. Spring inventory surge may offer more choice without price drops. Sellers: either way. Spring is peak season; pricing accuracy is critical to avoid overhang. Watch: Sustained drop in sales-to-new-listings ratio below 40% would indicate buyer leverage. Confidence: moderate. Sources:

## Next 12 months, October 2027

Prices: rising. 2% Why: If new construction delivery continues at current pace, it may tighten effective resale supply, supporting modest appreciation. Buyers: wait. Potential for better selection if inventory normalizes; low confidence in rapid appreciation. Sellers: either way. Long-term trend favors holding if supply remains constrained. Watch: A significant increase in resale inventory or decline in new build completions would reverse this view. Confidence: low. Sources:

Assumptions: No major changes to provincial mortgage rules or interest rates occur in the next 12 months; New construction deliveries remain consistent with the 23 units sold in Jan-Sep 2026. What would reverse this: A sudden influx of resale listings pushing inventory above 6 months would shift the market to buyer-favourable, potentially lowering prices. Sources:
