The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), recently released national sales statistics for July of 2019.
According to the report, "Home sales recorded via Canadian MLS® Systems rose for the fifth consecutive month in July, putting them about 15% above the six-year low reached in February 2019 but still more than 10% below the highs reached in 2016 and 2017."
Seasonally adjusted MLS® Home Price Index readings in July were up from the previous month in 11 of the 18 markets tracked by the index.
