Building on gains recorded over the previous three months, transactions are now up a cumulative 11.2% since March.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The July increase in home sales was again led overwhelmingly by the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), where transactions, while still historically low, have now rebounded a cumulative 35.5% since March.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWith sales posting a fourth consecutive increase in July, and almost 4% at that, the long-anticipated post-inflation crisis pickup in housing seems to have finally arrived,\u201d said Shaun Cathcart, CREA\u2019s Senior Economist. \u201cLooking ahead a little bit, it will be interesting to see how buyers react to the burst of new supply that typically shows up in the first half of September.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>July Highlights :<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>\u2022 National home sales were up 3.8% month-over-month.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u2022 Actual (not seasonally adjusted) monthly activity came in 6.6% above July 2024.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u2022 The number of newly listed properties was unchanged (+0.1%) on a month-over-month basis.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u2022 The MLS\u00ae Home Price Index (HPI) was unchanged month-over-month and was down 3.4% on a year-over-year basis.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>\u2022 The actual (not seasonally adjusted) national average sale price edged up 0.6% on a year-over-year basis.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">New supply was little changed (+0.1%) month-over-month in July. Combined with the notable increase in sales, the national sales-to-new listings ratio rose to 52%, up from 50.1% in June and 47.4% in May. The long-term average for the national sales-to-new listings ratio is 54.9%, with readings roughly between 45% and 65% generally consistent with balanced housing market conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There were 202,500 properties listed for sale on all Canadian MLS\u00ae Systems at the end of July 2025, up 10.1% from a year earlier and in line with the long-term average for that time of the year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cActivity continues to pick up through the transition from the spring to the summer market, which is the opposite of a normal year, but this has not been a normal year,\u201d said Val\u00e9rie Paquin, CREA Chair. \u201cTypically, we see a burst of new listings right at the beginning of September to kick off the fall market, but it seems like buyers are increasingly returning to the market. If you\u2019re looking to buy or sell a property this fall, you should get in touch with a REALTOR\u00ae in your area today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There were 4.4 months of inventory on a national basis at the end of July 2025, dropping further below the long-term average of five months of inventory as sales continue to pick up. Based on one standard deviation above and below that long-term average, a seller\u2019s market would be below 3.6 months and a buyer\u2019s market would be above 6.4 months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The National Composite MLS\u00ae Home Price Index (HPI) was unchanged between June and July 2025. Following declines in the first quarter of the year, the national benchmark price has remained mostly stable since May.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The non-seasonally adjusted National Composite MLS\u00ae HPI was down 3.4% compared to July 2024. This was a smaller decrease than the one recorded in June.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Based on the extent to which prices fell off in the second half of 2024, look for year-over-year declines to continue to shrink in the months ahead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The non-seasonally adjusted national average home price was $672,784 in July 2025, edging up 0.6% from July 2024.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/stats.crea.ca\/en-CA\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canadian Home Sales Continue to Climb in July, National Benchmark Price Remains Steady<\/a> by CREA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ottawa, ON August 15, 2025 \u2013 The number of home sales recorded over Canadian MLS\u00ae Systems climbed 3.8% on a month-over-month basis in July 2025.
