Market Trends For October 2022
By: Ryan Urban
October Market Trends
After yet another half point interest rate increase by the Bank of Canada on October 26th, the local real estate market continues its shift to much more balanced conditions. Sales volume has decreased, and inventory has crept up from record lows; despite these trends, we are still seeing great opportunities for those who may not have otherwise been able to enter the market.
Average pricing is still well above pre-pandemic levels by about +40% but has decreased by about -5% vs October of last year. The average days on the market to sell is now approximately 29 days.
