Canadian home sales rise for fourth straight month in July
CREA said sales rose 0.5% from June as the national benchmark price reached $658,000, with new listings falling for a third straight month.
- On Tuesday, the Canadian Real Estate Association reported that national home sales rose 0.5% in July, marking a fourth consecutive monthly increase while benchmark prices posted their first monthly gain since November 2024.
- New listings fell 1.6% in July, marking the third consecutive monthly decline that tightened supply as fewer properties came to market. The national sales-to-new-listing ratio climbed to 51.3% from 50.2% in June.
- The national benchmark home price reached $658,000, reflecting a 0.1% increase from June, though it remains 3.2% lower year-over-year. The national average sale price was $674,819.
- Regional market dynamics diverged sharply across Canada. Several areas in the Prairies, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada shifted toward higher supply, while Ontario and Toronto saw sales-to-new-listing ratios rise to 45.0% and 37.2%, respectively.
- Despite gains, actual home sales totalled 43,578, remaining 5.3% below July 2025 levels. CREA senior economist Shaun Cathcart notes that markets across Canada are generally moving back toward balance.
