Market Observations & Comparisons to Last Week
• Sales volume remains flat and subdued, with no meaningful acceleration
• Conditional sales tied to the buyer’s own property sale continue to rise — a clear behavioural signal
• Inventory levels remain elevated, especially in rural and detached segments • Buyers are cautious, deliberate, and increasingly risk-managed in their decision-making.
Summary & Outlook
The data reinforces what we have been seeing since early January: the market is not stalled, but it is careful.
Buyers are active, informed, and engaged, yet many are unwilling to move forward without firm sale commitments. Sellers who are priced aspirationally or unprepared for longer timelines may face increased friction, particularly in higher inventory segments.
Homes that are well positioned, realistically priced, and thoughtfully presented continue to attract attention, but patience, flexibility, and strategy are essential in today’s market.
