Currently it will take 5.15 months to sell all listings.This means it still favours Buyers. However, this number decreased from 7 months in the past winter.

If you're looking to upgrade to a larger home you will sell at a better value now and you will still see discount prices when you buy. We are still in a down market compared to real estate in 2014/2015. First time home buyers should be entering the market since Canada's economy is projected to rise in 2018 which may increase jobs and thus increase real estate values. If buyers are looking for the best time to buy a home at the lowest pries of the year it would be in July-August. During this time there is more inventory statistically. |
