OTTAWA – November 15, 2011 – According to statistics[1] released today by The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), national resale housing activity picked up a little further in October 2011 following the uptick in September.
Highlights:
- Sales activity rose in October, marking the highest level since January.
- Actual (not seasonally adjusted) national sales activity in October stayed in line with the 10-year average for the month, as it has most months this year.
- Year-to-date sales are also even with the 10-year average.
- The number of newly listed homes remained little changed from levels in the previous three months.
- While the combination of stronger sales and stable new listings resulted in a slightly tighter balance of supply and demand, the national housing market remains firmly rooted in balanced territory.
- The national average price posted a 5.5 per cent year-over-year gain in October, the smallest increase since January.
