CREA says this fall could bring a bigger surge
CREA just reported the highest number of August home sales since 2021.
Over 40,000 properties changed hands last month, up nearly 2% year over year and marking the fifth straight monthly increase in sales activity.
Unlike earlier this year, the lift wasn’t led by Toronto. Sales actually dipped slightly in the GTA, but were up in Montreal, Vancouver, and Ottawa, offsetting the decline and pushing national numbers higher.
So what’s fueling the momentum?
CREA’s economist points to fresh fall listings hitting the market and the potential for a rate cut from the Bank of Canada this week. If that cut happens, as most analysts expect, it could be enough to pull even more buyers off the sidelines heading into October.
CREA’s price index held flat month over month, while the national average sale price rose 1.8% year over year to $664,078. Listings were also up nearly 9% compared to last August.
Bottom line: Conditions remain balanced, but momentum is building.

Offers are in. Don’t freak out.
Getting offers is exciting… and also a little overwhelming.
It can start to feel like things are happening to you. Everyone wants a fast answer. You’re second-guessing. Your agent’s calling. And suddenly you’re agreeing to stuff you didn’t even have time to think about.
This guide breaks down what sellers can actually control, from timelines to inspection asks to pricing, and how to stay grounded in the middle of it all.
It’s worth the read if you’re anywhere near this stage.
