What to expect in the upcoming months of 2019?
February has been a strong month, and with year-to-date unit sales 8% higher in both the condo and residential categories, it is looking very favourable for the spring market. Days on market continue to decline, and inventory has fallen to its lowest level in many years. If you are thinking about selling, don’t wait – get a jump on the spring market!
The Bank of Canada’s has not increasing their interest rate of 1.75% on March 7th 2019, which is also good news for buyers.
