With vaccinations now well underway, we are starting to experience the real estate market settling down from the spring frenzy. As the economy and immigration start to open, we are getting asked what will real estate look like in our neighbourhoods.
We expect a considerable amount of uncertainty as we try and forecast the balance of 2021 into 2022. Demand is still high as are prices - and inventories are still at record lows.
As we move into summer, we are seeing evidence of Buyer fatigue and frustration. Current trends as per CREA suggest that the fundamentals of the housing market should return to more balanced levels for the rest of the year which is preferred.
