Hot markets, soft markets, and everything in between
Spring is typically the busiest season for the real estate market.
But this year, the national picture looks subdued. Sales held essentially flat in March and new listings remain low, according to CREA. But look at the regional data, and a more interesting story emerges.
Canada doesn't have one housing market right now. It has many.
Where buyers have the upper hand
In parts of Ontario, prices have pulled back meaningfully from their peaks. Buyers in these markets are finding more options, more negotiating room, and sellers who are increasingly willing to adjust expectations. In the condo segment particularly, resale prices have come down significantly, creating value that hasn't been available in years.
Where sellers still hold the advantage
Quebec City is the standout performer, with benchmark prices up 10.7% year-over-year. Montreal is holding strong as well, up 5%. Saskatchewan and parts of Atlantic Canada are posting meaningful growth, with inventory well below historical norms and multiple communities hitting record highs.
What this means for you
The gap between stronger and softer markets is wider than it's been in a long time. In some areas, well-priced homes are still moving with competition. In others, buyers have more leverage than they've had in years. The national headlines don't capture either of those realities particularly well.
Understanding what's happening in your specific market is what matters most right now. If you'd like to talk through what we're seeing locally, just reach out. We're happy to help.
