Welcome to July!
I hope you're enjoying the wonderful weather after a fairly rainy June.
Here's a brief recap of June: We experienced a slight decline in sales due to low inventory. However, sales of higher-end properties (above $700k) saw a slight increase. The benchmark home price also rose by 8.5% year-over-year to $608,000.
As we move into the second half of 2024, I remain optimistic about continued improvements. However, we should anticipate a slower pace through the summer as people are vacationing and enjoying the beautiful weather.
Have a great rest of your July, and I will see you again in August.
Sales in June reached 2,738, marking a 13 per cent decline from last year’s record high. Although sales improved for homes priced above $700,000, it was not enough to offset the declines reported in the lower price ranges. Despite the easing in June sales, they remain over 17 per cent higher than long-term trends.
“The pullback in sales reflects supply challenges in the lower price ranges, ultimately limiting sales activity,” said Ann-Marie Lurie, Chief Economist at CREB®. “Inventory in the lower price ranges of each property type continue to fall, providing limited choices for potential purchasers looking for more affordable product. It also continues to be a competitive market for some buyers with over 40 per cent of the homes sold selling over list price.”
