Is Canada’s housing market showing signs of life again?
After months of uncertainty, it looks like momentum is returning to the market.
According to the latest stats from CREA, home sales across Canada jumped 6.6% in July compared to this time last year—and they’re up more than 11% since March.
The GTA led the charge, with a staggering 35.5% rebound in sales since the spring. But it's not just Toronto—markets across the country are seeing signs of renewed activity, even as prices remain relatively flat.
👉 National average home price in July: $672,784
👉 Home Price Index: unchanged month-over-month
👉 Inventory: Up 10% from last year, giving buyers more choice
👉 Outlook: More supply expected in September, and more buyers eyeing a return
So, what’s behind the shift?
Economists are pointing to delayed pent-up demand, signs of economic stability, and the potential for more Bank of Canada rate relief in the second half of the year.
If you’ve been waiting for a more balanced moment to make a move, this might be it.
Curious what your home’s worth—or what your budget can buy?
Reach out and we’ll set up a quick 1:1 conversation to help you make sense of the market.
Talk soon,
