Quietly, behind the scenes of a slower spring, we’re noticing a trend: more homeowners are moving up, not out.
What’s driving it?
Life-stage changes
Young families that bought starter homes during the 2020–2021 boom are now outgrowing their space, but still committed to staying in Niagara.Equity growth
Even with prices stabilizing, many homeowners have built significant equity over the past 5 years, giving them room to trade up.Less pressure to rush
With fewer bidding wars and longer days on market, upsizers can shop more carefully, sell on their own timeline, and make conditional offers again.
Where they’re going:
From bungalows to two-storeys in places like Fonthill, Grimsby, and West St. Catharines
From condos to detached homes in North End Niagara Falls or Beamsville
From in-town homes to rural properties in Wainfleet or Pelham
