The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) recently released national sales statistics for May of 2021.
According to the report, "Home sales recorded over Canadian MLS® Systems fell by 7.4% month-over-month in May 2021, building on the 11 percent decline recorded in April. Activity nonetheless remains historically high, but in contrast to March’s all-time record it is now running closer to levels seen in the second half of 2020."
"Month-over-month declines in sales activity were observed in close to 80 percent of all local markets. It was a mixed bag of results, with a slowdown in sales observed in most large markets across Canada."
