Primarily influenced by the temporary spring surge of the previous year, April 2024 witnessed a decline in home sales compared to April 2023.
Despite a significant increase in listings compared to both last year and the previous month, many buyers are enjoying an abundance of choices, which has resulted in a moderation of sales prices. Additionally, it's widely believed that numerous buyers are awaiting potential Bank of Canada rate cuts.
Looking forward, we anticipate a surge in ownership demand as we progress through spring, especially with the potential for lower borrowing costs to create tighter market conditions and spur renewed price growth.
At a macro level, there remains a pressing need for coherent housing policies between all levels of government to sustain long-term affordability and choice for residents..
