I have bought and sold many times over the years and I have to say working with you is by far the best experience ever! 


Your professionalism, mentorship, knowledge, honesty, and hard work ethic are much respected and appreciated! . 


You kept me informed every step of the way and got things rolling and completed without me being in town. 


You worked your magic and I could not be happier.  


Thank you Hafez for making this a fun and memorable experience for me.

February home sales rise as buyers scoop up first of the 2022 spring listings

Statistics  released today by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) show national home sales were up in February 2022 as buyers jumped on the first batch of spring listings.


Highlights:


  • National home sales rose 4.6% on a month-over-month basis in February.
  • Actual (not seasonally adjusted) monthly activity came in 8.2% below the record February in 2021.
  • The number of newly listed properties bounced back by 23.7% month-over-month.
  • The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) rose a record 3.5% month-over-month and was up a record 29.2% year-over-year.
  • The actual (not seasonally adjusted) national average sale price posted a 20.6% year-over-year gain in February

Home sales recorded over Canadian MLS® Systems climbed 4.6% between January and February 2022. The monthly increase in activity was likely the result of a rebound in new listings in February following big a decline in January. As such, stronger activity may persist as late-February new listings continue to sell in March.

Sales were up in about 60% of local markets in February, led by some big jumps in Calgary and Edmonton, as well as a gain ahead of the national increase in the GTA.


The actual (not seasonally adjusted) number of transactions in February 2022 came in 8.2% below the monthly record set in 2021. That said, as was the case in January and throughout the second half of 2021, it was still the second-highest level on record for that month.


“As expected, after a bit of a lull in January, we saw the first batch of spring 2022 listings come to market in February, and they were quickly scooped up by buyers” said Cliff Stevenson, Chair of CREA. “It’s unclear if this is the beginning of a re-emergence of some of the many would-be sellers who have been dormant for the last two years, or if the supply will fade towards the summer like it did in 2021. Either way, your best bet is to contact your local REALTOR®, who has the information and guidance you’ll need if you are planning on entering the market in 2022,” continued Stevenson.


“New supply bounced way up in February, which is similar to what we saw play out in 2020 and again in 2021,” said Shaun Cathcart, CREA’s Senior Economist. “The real question is what comes next? In the short term, expect at least one more month of stronger sales as the majority of those new listings came onto the market near the end of the month so many of the associated sales likely won’t happen until early March. Ideally, listings will continue to come out in big numbers in the months ahead. Combined with higher interest rates and higher prices, we could be at a turning point where price growth begins to slow down and inventories finally begin to recover after seven years of declines. Still, in order to turn this market back towards balance long-term, building more new homes across the spectrum remains the key.”


The number of newly listed homes rebounded by 23.7% on a month-over-month basis in February following a 10.8% drop in January. The monthly increase was led by large gains in the GTA, Calgary and the Fraser Valley.


With sales up by quite a bit less than new listings in February, the sales-to-new listings ratio fell back to 75.3% after having briefly shot to 89% in January. The February reading puts the measure roughly back in line with where it has been since the summer of 2020. The long-term average for the national sales-to-new listings ratio is 55.1%.


About two-thirds of local markets were seller’s markets based on the sales-to-new listings ratio being more than one standard deviation above its long-term mean in February 2022. The other third of local markets were in balanced market territory.


There were just 1.6 months of inventory on a national basis at the end of February 2022 — tied with January 2022 and December 2021 for the lowest level ever recorded. The long-term average for this measure is a little over 5 months.


In line with some of the tightest market conditions ever recorded, the Aggregate Composite MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) was up a record 3.5% on a month-overmonth basis in February 2022.



The non-seasonally adjusted Aggregate Composite MLS® HPI was up by a record 29.2% on a year-over-year basis in February.


This month, Nova Scotia and WindsorEssex join the MLS® HPI. With these latest additions, the MLS® HPI now covers all major Canadian cities in all provinces. The MLS® HPI provides the best way to gauge price trends because averages are strongly distorted by changes in the mix of sales activity from one month to the next.


Compared to the national year-over-year increase, gains remain about on par in British Columbia, lower in the Prairies and Newfoundland & Labrador, a little lower in Quebec and Prince Edward Island, and a little higher in Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The regional differences under the surface of those provincial numbers can be seen in the table below.


The actual (not seasonally adjusted) national average home price was a record $816,720 in February 2022, up 20.6% from the same month last year. The national average price is heavily influenced by sales in Greater Vancouver and the GTA, two of Canada’s most active and expensive housing markets. Excluding these two markets from the calculation in February 2022 cuts almost $178,000 from the national average price.

Sales Activity Remains Strong Heading into Spring

The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) reports that a total of 8,902 residential unit sales were recorded by the Multiple Listing Service ® (MLS® ) in February 2022, a decrease of 18.8 per cent from February 2021. The average MLS® residential price in BC was $1.109 million, a 24.9 per cent increase from $887,866 recorded in February 2021. Total sales dollar volume was $9.9 billion, a 1.5 per cent increase from the same time last year.


“While sales are not keeping pace with the unprecedented level of activity we saw this time last year, demand continues to be quite strong,” said BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson. “There are some encouraging signs that listings are recovering from historical lows, but there is a very long way to go before markets achieve balance.”


Provincial active listings were 19 per cent lower than this time last year with the total inventory of homes for sale in the province at just 16,000 units. That level of inventory is well below the roughly 40,000 listings needed for a balanced market.
