The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) recently released national sales statistics for April of 2023.
"Home sales recorded over Canadian MLS® Systems posted an 11.3% increase from March to April 2023, foreshadowed by smaller back-to-back gains recorded in February and March.
“Over the last few months, there have been signs that housing markets were going to heat back up this year, so it wasn’t a surprise to see things take off after the Easter weekend, which often serves as the opener to the spring market,” said Larry Cerqua, CREA’s 2023-2024 Chair. “The issue going forward is not new: demand is once again returning at a scale that is outpacing supply. If you’re looking for information and guidance about how to buy or sell a property in this rapidly changing market, contact a REALTOR® in your area,” continued Cerqua.
