Trends we are noticing are:

  • Tightening of lending criteria has slowed the activity of sales
  • Buyer competition has eased
  • Prices have remained steady

 

“With buyer demand subdued, sales activity experienced a 25.2% decrease and properties spent an additional five days on the market when compared to March 2021.”

“With international borders open, agents expect an increase of international buyers recounting that some returning families are already attending open homes.” – Jen Baird (REINZ CEO)
