Prices down with sales flat. I swear the sales numbers reported don't seem to match the actual number I see when browsing the sales day after day.
Such early reporting based on MLS Sold Stats usually has less than 10 sales difference with Market Watch reports.
You may be working with micro market that has its unique specifics.

House Sigma shows ~650 condo sales in November, Condos.ca shows ~810. This report says 1300+.
Toronto condo prices down a whooping 3% year over year in one of the greatest disruptions in our lifetime. And that’s after being up like a rocket ship years prior. If you can’t handle a 3% drop after so many years ownership or investment simply isn’t for you.
Wait until next month to see the month over month drop in MOI for condos. Those waiting for prices to crater are in for a rude awakening.
Now with lower interest rates, falling MOI and prospects of a return to normal growing for next year....I certainly would be looking to buy now. Especially if looking to live in since you’re not that concerned with getting the absolute bottom.
Lol I remember in March in the stock forums (they lurk here also) telling us it was too early to buy and then THEY would know when it hits the bottom. Most of those types are still sitting on that cash and angrier than ever. Remember them @Sanyo ?
House Sigma still only shows 686 sales, and condos.ca shows 965 sales. I would love to see these mysterious 500 other sales. I wonder if it's conditional sales not shown on those sites yet?

MLS Sold Stats in those 1375 are only firm unconditional deals.
Later they may be slightly reduced if one or two deals fall through even from firm status, but it's a tiny fraction.
It is really hard to guess what is wrong with websites you mention. Can be wrong algorithms or they don't run sync daily. Such questions should be addressed to site owners.

When do conditional sales get added into the stats? Because if that's the case, the end of month stats will always be skewed high as conditional sales are the ones more likely to be lower, under list etc...

I find it super fascinating how the 905 area condos held up.
Despite some terrible projects launching this year.

I don't think data quality suffers. Such sales are counted the moment when they become firm, mostly the following month.
TRREB has it all explained in small font at the end of Market Watch.

Stocks dropped 50% off peaks. Condos have dropped 3%. How are the two even comparable? Condos haven't even really dropped, let alone crashed like stocks in Q1.

Ohh, that likely also explains the difference in the sales #s as well, as a portion of each months sales actually end up getting counted in subsequent months.
