The North Bay real estate market is going through a meaningful change. The data for November 2025, when compared to the same time last year, shows a clear advantage for people looking to buy a home in North Bay right now.
These specific insights for the Nipissing District are provided by local expert Juliana Driscoll, REALTOR®. We look at three key numbers to see where the market is headed: the average sale price, the number of new listings, and the overall transaction volume.

Average Sale Price: A Favourable Dip for Buyers
When you look at the price of houses for sale in North Bay, Ontario, it’s better news for buyers than we’ve seen in a while.
The average sale price in the Nipissing District for November 2025 was $391,325. This is a 5.5% decrease compared to the price a year ago.
What does a drop in the average price mean for you? It means greater affordability. The pressure to bid high pretty much gone, for now.
A Flood of Houses for Sale: The Buyer’s Advantage
The biggest shift we see is in the supply of homes. New listings climbed by a massive 30.6% year-over-year.
This large increase in houses for sale completely changes the market. When more homes are available, competition goes down. You get more time to look around and compare your options. This high inventory also puts you in a stronger position when making an offer.
We also saw a slight bump of 1.2% in the total number of homes sold, or the transaction volume. This small increase shows that buyers are active, but the market is far from the fast, frantic pace of the past.

There aren’t enough transactions in these rural communities to properly track trends. However, seeing the data can help put things into perspective. 2024 had one very low-priced sale, which dramatically drags down the averages. 2025 had four sales, all much higher priced, giving a more realistic view of typical rural market values.
More sellers entered the market this November, giving buyers more options. Homes in these areas are selling for slightly less compared to list price than last year. Buyers have a bit more negotiating room. And properties are taking significantly longer to sell in 2025.
This reflects:
- Higher price points,
- Slower rural demand,
- Buyers waiting for better rates.
The Callander / Powassan / Nipissing Township market saw much higher sale prices and far more activity in November 2025 compared to November 2024 — but this is largely because 2024 only had ONE sale, and it was a very low-priced property.
