Similarly, inventory fell to 4.1 months \u2013 a nearly 5% decrease from January. This is a full month below the long-term average, however, with the spring market nearing conditions could shift. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhile we\u2019re not seeing it in the sales or data just yet, I would expect homeowners are getting properties ready for the market and prospective buyers are getting mortgage pre-approvals,\u201d explained Jill Oudil, Chair of CREA. If the market is following February 2019\u2019s pattern, then we can expect buyer demand to uptick in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"786\" height=\"1088\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/zoocasa-1-786x1088.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/zoocasa-1-786x1088.jpg 786w, https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/zoocasa-1-208x288.jpg 208w, https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/zoocasa-1-768x1063.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/zoocasa-1-1110x1536.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/zoocasa-1.jpg 1364w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 786px) 100vw, 786px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Majority of Markets See Sales and Price Gains<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With a month-over-month increase of 2.3%, from 32,858 in January to 33,621 this month, home sales are climbing upwards across the country.

Other regions are also inching upwards, including Newfoundland &amp; Labrador, Regina, Calgary, Saskatoon and Niagara Region.
