Welcome to August!
Who can believe we are halfway through the summer already?
July Recap
Inventory levels increased slightly in July. However, they remained very low keeping inventory levels the lowest ever recorded for July. It is still very much a seller's market. As such we have seen our benchmark price increase for 7 consecutive months, now sitting at $567,700.
We are hoping to see new inventory hit the market in coming months but until then we can expect prices to continue to rise. As always if you are looking to buy or sell a home give me a call and I would be happy to help you!
Rising rates had little impact on sales this month as the 2,647 sales represented a year-over-year gain of 18 per cent, reflecting the strongest July levels reported on record. The record-setting pace has been driven mainly by significant gains in the relatively affordable apartment condominium sector. Despite recent gains, year-to-date sales have declined by 19 per cent over last year.
In line with seasonal expectations, sales and new listings trended down compared to last month. However, this had minimal impact on inventory levels, which remained near the July record low set in 2006. With a sales-to-new-listings ratio of 82 per cent and a months of supply of 1.3 months, conditions continue to favour the seller.
