HotProvisional — based on 4 sales
Your street's grade is a market read — your sell score is personal: demand, momentum and speed for a home like yours, plus what you'd walk away with.

Our methodology
Demand (35%) is each neighbourhood's sales-to-new-listings ratio. Speed (25%) is the average days on market. Sale-to-list (25%) compares sold prices with asking prices. Momentum (15%) is sold prices against the same three months last year — year-over-year, so a spring market is never compared with a winter one. All from closed transactions — none are opinions.
Every rating is for one property type in one neighbourhood. Blending types hides the truth — a street where condos sit can be the same street where detached homes vanish in days.
Ratings need at least ten sales in the window. Four to nine sales earn a provisional rating, clearly marked. Fewer than four and we say so instead of guessing.
Hot means sellers hold the leverage; Cold means buyers do. Neither is "better" — it depends which side you're on. Ratings measure against fixed benchmarks, not a curve: in a cool market most of the table honestly reads Balanced and Cool.
