September 2022 brings 176 new house listings and 174 sold closings across the City of Greater Sudbury. That is a 98.86% same-period flow ratio, a compact signal of activity rather than a claim about every neighbourhood or property type.

Same-period flow ratio
98.86%
The 98.86% same-period flow ratio shows sold closings running relatively close to new-listing activity in September 2022. It points to a tighter monthly flow, but it is not an inventory measure and does not prove how quickly any one home will sell.
How the month compares
| Comparison | New listings | Sold closings |
|---|---|---|
| September 2022 | 176 | 174 |
| Change from previous month | -22.1% | +1.2% |
| September 2021 | 182 | 181 |
| Change from one year earlier | -3.3% | -3.9% |
| 12 months ending September 2022 | 2,549 | 2,073 |
The two activity streams move in different directions from the previous month. New listings are down 22.1%, while sold closings are up 1.2%. This split can change the negotiating experience even when one headline count looks stable.
Compared with September 2021, this month records 3.3% fewer new listings and 3.9% fewer sold closings. That year-over-year view helps separate the current month from ordinary calendar swings, while still leaving room for differences in price range, location and property condition.
What buyers can take from September 2022
The 176 new-listing events show the number of fresh house opportunities entering the Greater Sudbury house segment during the month. They do not reveal how those homes are distributed by neighbourhood, price or condition. A buyer should compare the specific homes available now, then use recent comparable sales to decide where competition is real and where a condition or price adjustment may be reasonable.
The 174 closings belong to agreements often negotiated before September 2022. They show completed demand, but they are not a count of offers being written today. Buyers can protect themselves by keeping financing current, reviewing disclosures and inspection options, and setting a maximum price from the payment and property—not from the monthly ratio alone.
What sellers can take from September 2022
For a seller, 176 new listings define the month’s incoming competition. The most useful comparison set is narrower: similar homes in the same part of Greater Sudbury, near the same price and in comparable condition. A launch price should reflect that live competition as well as completed sales.
The 98.86% flow ratio helps describe the overall pace, but it does not guarantee a sale. Presentation, access, photography, disclosure, offer terms and adjustment timing remain property-level decisions. If early showing and inquiry patterns are weaker than comparable listings, respond to that evidence rather than waiting for a citywide headline to solve the mismatch.
How to use the 12-month view
The 12 months ending September 2022 contain 2,549 new-listing events and 2,073 sold-closing events. That longer window softens some monthly seasonality and gives a more stable sense of market scale. It should still be paired with the latest comparable properties because a rolling annual total can include conditions that are no longer dominant.
What these counts include
This September 2022 snapshot covers House listings in the Greater Sudbury MLS records reviewed. New-listing events are assigned by listing-contract date and sold-closing events by valid closing date. An address may return under a different MLS number after a listing ends, so listing-event counts are not unique-property counts. The same-period flow ratio divides the month’s sold closings by its new listings; it is not inventory, absorption, days on market or same-listing conversion.
