June’s Housing Sales High- Strong Canadian Housing Market
According to data released by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), June’s housing sales were high. With transactions rising to 15.2%. The average property price rose 6.5% since June 2019. Added to this, the Band of Canada, hints it will keep interest rates low.
“While June’s housing numbers were mostly back at normal levels, we are obviously not back to normal at this point,” said Shaun Cathcart, CREA’s senior economist. “I guess the bigger picture is one of cautious optimism. The market has recovered much faster than many would have thought, but what happens later this year remains a big question mark. That said, daily tracking suggests that July, at least, will be even stronger.”
“Pent-up demand (supported by the fact that would-be house hunters have likely suffered lesser job declines) fuelled a surge in home sales during June. The gain brought sales levels nearly back to where they were in February,” noted TD economist Rishi Sondhi. He added that average prices have almost entirely erased pandemic-related losses, with prices down only 0.5% compared to February.
Of note, a balanced sales to listing ratio is between 40-60% and below 40% is considered a buyers’ market. The current Canadian sales-to-new listing ratio, is at 63.7%. Making it a sellers market.
It appears that despite COVID the Canadian housing market remains strong.
