One reason for the shift, she says, is that some baby boomers who spend their winter down south are now back in town and preparing to sell their large family homes in favour of smaller houses and condos.“I think you’re going to see a lot of new listings in May,” she says. “The snowbirds are back.”

The sales rebound in April, plus the rise in benchmark prices for a second month, suggest that the market is recovering from a dismal February hammered by winter storms.

Great shot
