What does this data mean for an investor?
The growth rate of 10.32‰ is above the provincial average (9.78‰), which suggests demand is recovering more strongly here than across the province (interpretation).
With 546 sales in 2025 the district ranks 10 of the 14 districts with sales; volume is 94% of 2022. That is 12.3 sales per thousand residents (provincial average 10.1). The first-hand share of 32% is close to the provincial 25%. The mortgaged share is 13% (province: 8%).
What it means for an investor: transaction volume is mid-sized; comparable sales in the same neighbourhood should be researched for the target property type. The data show no prices.
Limitation: Housing-sales data count title-deed transactions and contain no price, m² or rent information. The growth rate covers a single year. The food-business count is registered businesses subject to inspection and gives only a rough signal of competitive density. No neighbourhood-level official data are used here.
