What's happening with the housing market? Latest data from CREA
Canada’s housing market remains in a bit of a "wait-and-see" phase as we head into fall.
According to the latest report from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), national home sales edged up by 1.3% in August. This marks the highest level of activity since January, but the market is still mostly in a holding pattern.
Many Canadians are holding off on big moves, waiting for further interest rate cuts expected later this year and into 2025. However, people are still buying and selling—activity hasn’t stopped, just slowed.
The number of new listings ticked up by 1.1% in August, and prices are holding relatively steady. The national average home price of $649,100 remains almost unchanged from a year ago.
While inventory levels are up 18.8% from last year, they’re still below what we typically see this time of year, hovering around 177,450 properties.
Even though these insights reflect national trends, they offer valuable context for understanding the current market dynamics. While some are waiting, others are taking action—there’s still opportunity for those ready to move forward.
We're here if you need anything.
