Brookfield median sale came in at $562,500 — up from $535,000 a year ago. Year-to-date median sits at $532,500.

Prices kept climbing at a healthy 5% pace. Not the double-digit YoY jumps of 2023, but Brookfield hasn't cooled.

Median time to offer is 5 days. Half of Brookfield homes go under contract inside one week.

Absorption at 1.2 months is one of the tightest markets on this list. There's barely any inventory at any given moment.

— What the numbers mean

Brookfield stays brutally tight.

Only 47 active listings in the entire city as of April. Year-to-date absorption is 0.97 months — under one month of supply. That's a structurally constrained market, not a temporary blip.

Median days on market jumped from 4 to 5. Statistically a hair, practically still the same answer: Brookfield homes go fast when they're priced right. The few that sit are either overpriced or in atypical condition.

Sale-to-list is back to 101% in April — sellers are getting slightly over asking on average. Year-ago that ratio was 103%, so there's been very minor softening, but Brookfield is still firmly a seller's market.

The price-tier story: the $400K–$650K segment carries most of the volume, and it's been flat-to-slightly-down YoY. The luxury segment ($650K+) is where the action is — sub-$1M is up 100% YTD, $800K–$1M is up 60%. Brookfield's strongest growth is in the upper tier.

Short read for buyers: bring your A-game. Get pre-approved, know your number, be ready to write same-day. Trying to negotiate hard in Brookfield right now will get you outbid. Short read for sellers: price honestly, stage it well, and you'll close in under a week — even at the top of the market.
