What This Means (Actionable Insight)

• Sellers:

  • Semi-detached: price assertively and prep for multiple offers; speed matters with sub-1 month supply.

  • Detached & condos: list crisp and market-ready; you’re in a lean-to-balanced pocket (2–2.4 MOS).

  • Row/townhomes: differentiate—professional staging, minor updates, and sharp pricing to win showings in a ~4+ MOS environment.

• Buyers:

  • Row/townhomes offer the best negotiating window.

  • Detached/condo purchasers should be pre-approved and move promptly on the top 10% of listings.

  • Watch segment-specific MOS to gauge leverage before writing.

Schools (quick orientation for families)

• Auburn Bay is served by a mix of public (CBE) and Catholic (CCSD) designated schools, with elementary options in/near the community and designated junior/senior high schools in nearby SE catchments. Designations can vary by address and year—buyers should verify with CBE/CCSD school-finder tools when short-listing homes.

Shopping, Services & Daily Convenience

• Auburn Station (inside the community) covers everyday needs (groceries, coffee, services).

• Seton Urban District (minutes away) adds big-box retail, dining, the South Health Campus, YMCA, movie theatre, and professional services—handy for commuters and hospital staff.

• Nearby hubs (Mahogany/130th Ave SE) broaden options for dining, specialty grocers, and home goods.

Community Lifestyle & Events

• Auburn Bay is a four-season lake community anchored by Auburn House and private beach/park space. Typical programming includes:

  • Summer: lake/beach access, paddle craft, fishing derbies, kids’ day camps, outdoor movies.

  • Shoulder seasons: community markets, fitness & arts programs.

  • Winter: skating on maintained rinks, holiday light events, family festivals.
    Residents’ Association programming varies by month—great talking point at showings and for buyer discovery days.

Your Quick Script (for listing appointments or buyer tours)

• “Semis are on fire with ~0.7 months of supply—if you’re selling, we’ll stage light, launch on a Thursday, and set offer expectations for the weekend.”

• “Row inventory is deeper—we’ll target price-to-presentation to beat competing actives and use DOM data to time price reviews.”

• “Detached holds steady: fair competition, but the top 10% of homes still move fast at/near ask when turnkey.”
