City of Toronto (416) reads differently on the two balance measures — balanced conditions at 51.6% sales-to-new-listings, but a seller's market at 1.7 months of inventory. They measure different things, so the split is worth noting.

Average price for a multi-district group is weighted by dollar volume, not an average of averages — that would give a district with three sales the same weight as one with three hundred.
