5th Straight Fall In Home Sales, Sellers May Wait For Rate Cuts

CANADA DATA
  • Canadian Real Estate Association says Nov sales -0.9% MOM, smallest decrease since July.
  • Sales-to-new listings ratio +49.8%, up slightly from prior +49.4%, a 10-year low.
  • New listings -1.8% MOM.
  • CREA economist Shaun Cathcart: "Not getting offers they were willing to accept, it’s looking like many of them are also now resigned to hunker down until next year. It’s probably a good move given that recent expectations around interest rate cuts suggest it might be a somewhat more active spring market."
  • Average resale price +2% YOY; price index +0.6% YOY.
  • Affordability is close to surpassing the lowest levels in a generation.
