The Canadian Real Estate Association says the number of homes sold in August fell compared with a year ago as the market remained largely "stuck in a holding pattern" despite borrowing costs beginning to come down.
The association's chair James Mabey added that the first week of April, May, June and September typically see a burst of new supply that can jolt the market. "We remain confident that the will reduce its policy rate again in October. This should be followed by another in December and six more in 2025."
There were around 177,450 properties listed for sale at the end of August, up 18.8 per cent from a year earlier but more than 10 per cent below historical averages for this time of the year."It could be the case that potential buyers are waiting for rates to move even lower before jumping in, especially with the Bank of Canada's relatively transparent messaging that further rate cuts are on the way," Sondhi said in a note.
