Market Update: Home Sales Down in May - But There's Good News Ahead!
May saw a slight dip in home sales, continuing a soft spring season with sales down 0.6% from April and 5.9% from last year. Higher borrowing costs and Bank of Canada uncertainty kept many buyers on the sidelines. However, new listings are on the rise, offering more options for prospective buyers.
**Key Points:**
- Home sales are 13% below the 10-year average.
- New listings increased by 0.5% from April.
- Average national home price is down 4% year-over-year to $699,117.
But here's the bright spot: Analysts expect June to see improved activity thanks to the Bank of Canadaβs recent rate cut, which is boosting buyer confidence.
