Trends we are noticing are:

  • Most sellers are meeting the market
  • Properties are staying on the market for longer
  • Buyers are taking their time

“Prices continue to ease but the pace of the decline is slower, and the market has settled at its new pace.”

“If you can make the finances work, this is a good time to be a buyer. More stock, less competition and prices continuing to ease, will allow those who can get all the ducks in a row to buy well.” – Jen Baird (REINZ CEO)
