The August 2024 House listing record contains 194 new-listing events and 162 sold closings. Its 83.51% same-period flow ratio compares two event groups, not inventory or same-home conversion.

Same-period flow ratio
83.51%
The 83.51% same-period flow ratio shows sold closings running relatively close to new-listing activity in August 2024. 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 |
|---|---|---|
| August 2024 | 194 | 162 |
| Change from previous month | -19.5% | -11.0% |
| August 2023 | 214 | 165 |
| Change from one year earlier | -9.3% | -1.8% |
| 12 months ending August 2024 | 2,368 | 1,726 |
Activity contracts from the previous month, with new listings down 19.5% and sold closings down 11.0%. That shared slowdown is important in a late-summer period: it describes fewer events, not automatically weaker value for every home.
Compared with August 2023, August 2024 records 9.3% fewer new listings and 1.8% fewer sold closings. That year-over-year view helps separate August 2024 from ordinary calendar swings, while still leaving room for differences in price range, location and property condition.
What buyers can take from August 2024
The 194 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 162 closings belong to agreements often negotiated before August 2024. 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 August 2024
For a seller, 194 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 83.51% 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 August 2024 contain 2,368 new-listing events and 1,726 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 August 2024 snapshot describes the registered House subset within the intended SREB-defined Greater Sudbury geographic partitions; it is not a certified complete City-wide count. 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.

This House subset does not represent every single-family residential subtype, a certified complete City census or the Sudbury Real Estate Board reporting area. The counts do not forecast a later month.
