We’re into September with a market that’s showing steady signs of balance. According to the latest TRREB data, sales were up 2% year-over-year, while new listings rose 9%, giving buyers more choice and easing some of the pressure we’ve seen in past years. Prices remain down, with a 5% dip from same time last year, mainly driven by market uncertainty due to politics, and a slow condo market.
