Month-over-month declines in sales activity were broad-based, with sales moderating in around 80% of all local markets.
"While there is still a lot of activity in many housing markets across Canada, things have noticeably calmed down in the last few months," said Cliff Stevenson, Chair of CREA. "There remains a shortage of supply in many parts of the country, but at least there isn't the same level of competition among buyers we were seeing a few months ago."
