In order to make a truly informed decision, it\u2019s important to know what\u2019s happening on a local level \u2013 something an aggregate snapshot can\u2019t provide. For example, while CREA\u2019s latest numbers hint at a recovery, much of that improvement is skewed by conditions in the Toronto and Greater Golden Horseshoe regions, in sharp contrast to slower activity in Vancouver and much of the Atlantic provinces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/buyers-and-sellers-markets-in-toronto-by-neighbourhood-infographic\/\">These Toronto Neighbourhoods are Now Buyers\u2019 Markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Buyers\u2019 and Sellers\u2019 Markets Across Canada<\/h2>\n<p>Instead, activity at a local level can be more effectively measured using the sales-to-new-listings ratio: calculated by dividing the number of sales by the number of new listings over a specific time frame, this metric reveals what percentage of newly-listed homes are being snapped up, or are languishing on the market. This helps provide buyers and sellers insight to the level of competition they\u2019ll face when entering the market.<\/p>\n<p>According to CREA, a ratio between 40 \u2013 60 per cent indicates a balanced market, while above and below that threshold indicate sellers\u2019 and buyers\u2019 conditions, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Canada as a whole remains in balanced territory, with a ratio of 56 per cent. That\u2019s skewed slightly more toward a sellers\u2019 market than the 55 per cent recorded in July 2017.<\/p>\n<p>However, this differs widely in the 26 main markets\u00a0tracked by CREA, as factors such as incomes, housing supply, and local economies underpin demand for real estate; a seller in Newfoundland faces a very different reality than one in Victoria, for example. So, from sea to shining sea, which are the best markets in Canada to be a buyer or seller \u2013 and which have changed dramatically over the past year?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/canada-buyers-sellers-market-july-2018-canada.png\"><img \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15731 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/canada-buyers-sellers-market-july-2018-canada.png\" alt=\"canada-buyers-sellers-market-july-2018-canada\" width=\"1301\" height=\"3883\" data-id=\"15731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/canada-buyers-sellers-market-july-2018-canada.png 1301w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/canada-buyers-sellers-market-july-2018-canada-101x300.png 101w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/canada-buyers-sellers-market-july-2018-canada-768x2292.png 768w, https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/canada-buyers-sellers-market-july-2018-canada-343x1024.png 343w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1301px) 100vw, 1301px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>The Top 5 Markets for Buyers<\/h2>\n<p>While the following Census Market Areas may not be the most affordable in Canada, they do boast the lowest sales-to-new-listings ratios throughout the nation, indicating the lowest level of buyer competition. Those looking to ascend the property ladder in these cities will encounter fewer competitive hurdles such as bidding wars, as the number of sales are too few to outweigh new inventory. Sales activity ranges from roughly flat to steep declines, from the -0.8 per cent recorded in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/edmonton-ab-real-estate\">Edmonton real estate<\/a>\u00a0market, to the -33.4-per-cent drop in BC&#8217;s Fraser Valley.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Newfoundland and Labrador: 35%<\/li>\n<li>Greater Vancouver: 43%<\/li>\n<li>Fraser Valley: 45%<\/li>\n<li>Edmonton: 48%<\/li>\n<li>Quebec CMA: 49%<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>The Top 5 Markets for Sellers<\/h2>\n<p>Good news for those looking to list in these CMAs; in these strong sellers\u2019 markets, your home likely won\u2019t linger for long, and is more likely to draw in multiple offers, as strong buyer demand outstrips the number of homes available for sale. Some regions, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoocasa.com\/ottawa-on-real-estate\">Ottawa real estate<\/a>\u00a0market, are becoming especially popular for their supply of affordable single-family homes, drawing a steady stream of buyers from more expensive neighbouring municipalities.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>London and St. Thomas: 78%<\/li>\n<li>Montreal: 73%<\/li>\n<li>Ottawa: 72% and\u00a0Trois Rivieres: 72%<\/li>\n<li>Windsor-Essex: 71%<\/li>\n<li>Saguenay CMA: 70%<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Markets with the Greatest Year-Over-Year Declines<\/h2>\n<p>The last couple of years have been tumultuous in real estate markets across Canada, as a new mortgage stress test has further crimped affordability for borrowers of new mortgages. British Columbia, in particular, has weathered considerable challenges, as tougher mortgage hurdles compound with foreign buyer and speculation taxes, making steep affordability even more acute, and dampening home buyer demand. The following markets have seen the greatest year-over-year declines in their sales-to-new-listings ratios, indicating faster rates of cooling competition.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Fraser Valley: y-o-y change of -15%<\/li>\n<li>Greater Vancouver: y-o-y change of -13%<\/li>\n<li>Victoria: y-o-y change of -11%<\/li>\n<li>Winnipeg: y-o-y change of -8%<\/li>\n<li>Niagara Region: y-o-y change of -4%<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Markets with the Greatest Year-Over-Year Increases<\/h2>\n<p>The ratios in these markets reflect heating conditions, with a healthy uptick in sales, well offsetting any new product placed on the market. These are housing markets to watch for, as positive underlying fundamentals support growing popularity.
