Canadian home sales edge higher in April, 2012: CREA

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


Highlights from CREA's release

  • Home sales up 0.8% from March to April.
  • Actual (not seasonally adjusted) activity stood 11.5% above levels in April 2011.
  • The size of the year-over-year increase reflects a slowdown in sales last April following changes to mortgage rules which came into effect on March 18, 2011.
  • The number of newly listed homes edged back 0.2% from March to April.
  • While still well balanced, the combination of stable new listings and slightly higher sales activity resulted in a tighter national housing market.
  • The national average home price edged up 0.9% on a year-over-year basis in April.
