New listings were down in more than half of all local markets, led by Calgary, Edmonton and Greater Vancouver (GVA). Fewer new listings in these markets more than offset an increase in new supply in the GTA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the 15 housing markets tracked by CREA, eight recorded price increases from a year ago, with little changed in two markets and down in the remainder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the Prairies, benchmark home prices remained down on a year-over-year basis in Calgary (-1.7 percent), Edmonton (-1.3 percent), Regina (-4.8 percent) and Saskatoon (-2.1 percent).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theprovince.com\/life\/homes\/new-mortgage-stress-test-continues-to-hamper-home-sales\/wcm\/342da0d2-eb14-4980-9131-f410c2eb8a4c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Mortgage Stress Test Continues to Hamper Canadian Home Sales<\/a> by Myke Thomas | The Province<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New listings were down in more than half of all local markets, led by Calgary, Edmonton and Greater Vancouver Actual sales (not seasonally adjusted) on Canadian MLS Systems were down &hellip;
