The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), released national sales statistics for the month of December, 2014 recently. According to the CREA, “December sales were down from the previous month in a number of Canada’s largest and most active housing markets, indicating a broadly based cooling off for Canadian home sales as 2014 came to an end,” said Gregory Klump, CREA’s Chief Economist. “Even so, sales remain above year-ago levels in many of the same markets.” Highlights of CREA's report
- National home sales fell 5.8% from November to December.
- Actual (not seasonally adjusted) activity stood 7.9% above December 2013 levels.
- The number of newly listed homes rose 1.1% from November to December.
- The Canadian housing market remains balanced.
