Canadian home sales activity moderates in May 2012: CREA

CREA economist Gregory Klump reports on MLS® sales and listings for the Canadian real estate market for May, 2012.


Highlights from CREA's release

  • Home sales down 3.1% from April to May.
  • Actual (not seasonally adjusted) up 9% from levels in May 2011.
  • The year-over-year increase continues to reflect the slowdown in sales a year ago following changes to mortgage rules that came into effect in March 2011.
  • The number of newly listed homes edged up 0.3% from April to May.
  • Easing sales activity and a small uptick in new listings resulted in a more balanced national housing market.
  • The national average home price edged down 0.3% on a year-over-year basis in May.
