1 The Canadian Real Estate Association News Release Canadian home sales fall back in October Ottawa, ON, November 15, 2013 According to statistics 1 released today by The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), national home sales declined in. Highlights: National home sales declined by 3.2% from September to October. Actual (not seasonally adjusted) activity came in 8.3% above levels in October The number of newly listed homes declined by 0.8% from September to October. The Canadian housing market remains in balanced territory. The national average sale price rose 8.5% on a basis in October. The MLS Home Price Index (HPI) rose 3.5% in October. The number of home sales processed through the MLS Systems of Canadian real estate Boards and Associations and other co-operative listing systems fell 3.2 per cent on a month-over-month basis in. The decline returned activity back to near where it stood last June and July. October s lower activity provides early evidence confirming that sales in the later summer and early fall were boosted by homebuyers with pre-approved mortgages at lower than current interest rates jumping into the market before their preapprovals expired, said Gregory Klump, CREA s Chief Economist. Now that interest rates appear to be going nowhere fast, sales activity in the near term may be held in check by homebuyers who are in less of a hurry to purchase. While the Finance Minister will no doubt continue to keep a close eye on Canadian housing markets for signs of overheating as interest rates remain low, October sales results may provide him with reassurance that tightened mortgage regulations and lending guidelines are working as intended. Sales were down in a little over half of all local markets, including Greater Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Greater Toronto, Hamilton- Burlington, and Montreal. The decline in activity among these markets offset increased activity in a handful of less active major urban centres. Chart A October s seasonally adjusted sales figure stood slightly above (0.9 per cent) the average for sales over the past 10 years (Chart A). Actual (not seasonally adjusted) activity posted an 8.3 per cent gain in October. Sales were up on a basis in just over half of all local markets, once again led by gains in Greater Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and Greater Toronto. On an actual (not seasonally adjusted) basis, a total of 402,299 homes have traded hands across the country so far this year. That stands just 0.2 per cent below levels recorded in the first 10 months of Data table available to media upon request, for purposes of reprinting only. 1 All figures in this release, unless otherwise noted, are seasonally adjusted to remove normal seasonal variation.

2 The Canadian Real Estate Association News Release Chart B Despite considerable sales volatility in recent years, annual sales remain remarkably stable. With just two lower volume months left to go this year, sales for the year-to-date in October stand broadly in line with activity over the same period in each of the past five years and well off the peak reached in 2007 (Chart B). The number of newly listed homes declined by 0.8 per cent on a month-over-month basis in October, with a fairly even split between the number of markets where new supply fell and the number where it remained stable or increased. Data table available to media upon request, for purposes of reprinting only. With the decline in sales having outstripped the dip in new listings, the national sales-to-new listings ratio fell to 54.6 per cent in October compared to 55.9 per cent in September. This remains well within balanced market territory, which has been the case since early Based on a sales-to-new listings ratio of between 40 to 60 per cent, about two thirds of all local markets were in balanced market territory in October. A majority of local markets across the country are still seeing a healthy balance between buyers and sellers coupled with modest price growth, said CREA President Laura Leyser. Even so, there are some markets in the Prairies and in parts of southwestern Ontario where competition among buyers has increased, while parts of Quebec and some areas in the Maritimes have been seeing increasing competition among sellers. Because all real estate is local, your REALTOR remains your best resource for understanding how the housing market is shaping up where you live or might like to. The number of months of inventory is another important measure of balance between housing supply and demand. It represents the number of months it would take to completely liquidate current inventories at the current rate of sales activity. Chart C There were 6.0 months of inventory at the national level at the end of October, up from 5.9 months one month earlier, which was the first increase since February. However, as with the sales-to-new listings ratio, the current level for months of inventory indicates that the Canadian housing market remains well balanced. The actual (not seasonally adjusted) national average price for homes sold in was $391,820, an increase of 8.5 per cent from the same month last year.

3 The Canadian Real Estate Association News Release average price gains continues to reflect the decline in sales activity last year in some of Canada s larger and more expensive markets which caused the national average price to drop at that time. If Greater Toronto, Greater Vancouver, and Calgary are removed from national average price calculations, the year-overyear increase shrinks to 4.9 per cent. The MLS Home Price Index (MLS HPI) provides a better gauge of price trends, since it is not affected by s in the mix of sales activity the way that average price is. The Aggregate Composite MLS HPI (Chart C) rose 3.52 per cent compared to October Year-over-year price growth picked up among all property types tracked by the index, led by one-storey single family homes (+4.19 per cent). This was followed by two-storey single family homes (+3.88 per cent), townhouse/row units (+3.28 per cent) and apartment units (+2.05 per cent). Year-over-year price growth in the MLS HPI was mixed across housing markets tracked by the index, led by Calgary (+8.17 per cent) and Greater Toronto (+4.54 per cent). Although the prices remained below year-ago levels in Greater Vancouver, Victoria, Vancouver Island, and Regina, October marked the smallest decline in 2013 (Table 1).
