Canada's housing markets split along regional lines in August
August brought some interesting shifts across Canada’s housing markets, highlighting how each city has its own story to tell. Toronto experienced a 1.3% dip in sales and saw prices soften a bit, while Vancouver’s sales activity jumped 8.5%—even as prices edged down. Ottawa, on the other hand, saw a slight uptick in prices, and Montreal’s listings climbed by 7.1%. Calgary stood out with a 9% drop in sales and prices falling 8%. As someone who works closely with buyers, sellers, and property owners in both Calgary and Winnipeg, I always keep an eye on how these regional trends shape opportunities for my clients. Whether you’re looking to navigate a shifting market, manage your property, or explore your next move, it’s all about having the right local perspective.
