However, June transactions still set a record, with the number of transactions up 13.6 percent year-over-year, a new high for the month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although market activity remains robust in many communities, CREA\u2019s chair Cliff Stevenson explained that conditions have \u201cnoticeably calmed down\u201d during the past few months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThere remains a shortage of supply in many parts of the country, but at least there isn\u2019t the same level of competition among buyers we were seeing a few months ago,\u201d said Stevenson in the news release that accompanied the June report.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The number of new properties that hit the market dropped 0.7 percent in June compared to the previous month. The national sales-to-new listings ratio was 69.2 percent last month, the lowest reading since August 2020, CREA reported. The long-term average for the national sales-to-new listings ratio was reported at 54.6 percent, and has been steadily moderating since peaking at 90.8 percent in January.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By the end of June, there was a 2.3-month supply of available inventory nationwide, a slight increase over May\u2019s 2.1 months of supply and the record-low of 1.8 months that was set in March.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With little change recorded on the national level for new home supply during June, CREA noted that about half of local markets saw gains, which is \u201cwelcome news for frustrated buyers.\u201d When comparing sales-to-new listings ratio with long-term averages, more than half of local markets were also reported to be in balanced territory last month \u2014 a shake up from the past year when a larger portion of communities were in seller\u2019s market territory, CREA said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt feels like maybe the theme of this summer is \u2018slowly getting back to normal,\u2019 in our own lives and for many housing markets across Canada as well,\u201d said Shaun Cathcart, CREA\u2019s Senior Economist, in the report.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThat said, it\u2019s a long road to get back to normal, and for many housing markets the main issue is that supply shortages are as acute as ever,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cathcart pointed out that the break we\u2019ve seen in terms of population growth is likely coming to an end. While the \u201cfrenzy and emotion\u201d of the earlier points of the pandemic have passed, Cathcart explained that the makings of a seller\u2019s market are still in place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Last month, the aggregate composite MLS Home Price Index (HPI) increased by 0.9 percent monthly, while the non-seasonally adjusted aggregate composite MLS HPI was up 24.4 percent annually.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The actual \u2014 not seasonally adjusted \u2014 average price of a home at the national level was a little over $679,000 in June, 25.9 percent higher than the same month in 2020. CREA noted that the average national home price is heavily influenced by Canada\u2019s two most expensive markets, Greater Vancouver and the Greater Toronto Area. Factoring out these two regions would reduce the national average price by about $135,000, said CREA.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/2021\/07\/market-step-towards-normalcy-canadian-home-sales-fall-june-crea.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CREA : Market Takes Another Step Towards Normalcy as Canadian Home Sales Fall Again in June<\/a> by Michelle McNally | Livabl<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a record-breaking spring for Canadian home sales, buying and selling activity across the country has continued to trend downward during the early summer months.
