1 The Canadian Real Estate Association News Release Canadian home sales ease back in September Ottawa, ON, October 15, 2014 According to statistics 1 released today by The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), national home sales activity in was down from the previous month. Highlights: National home sales fell 1.4% from August to September. Actual (not seasonally adjusted) activity stood 10.6% above September 2013 levels. The number of newly listed homes declined by 1.6% from August to September. The Canadian housing market remains balanced. The MLS Home Price Index (HPI) rose 5.3% in September. The national average sale price rose 5.9% on a basis in September. The number of home sales processed through the MLS Systems of Canadian real estate Boards and Associations fell by 1.4 per cent on a month-over-month basis in, marking the first decline since January of this year (Chart A). Chart A Activity was down in about 60 per cent of all local housing markets in September, led by declines in Calgary, Edmonton, Central Toronto, Kitchener-Waterloo, London & St. Thomas, Windsor-Essex, and Ottawa. Home sales rose on a month-over-month basis in Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island, the Okanagan region, Mississauga, Durham and York regions of the Greater Toronto Area, Sherbrooke, and the Northern region of Nova Scotia. Affordably priced single family homes are in short supply in some of Canada s hottest housing markets, which contributed to the Data table available to media upon request, for purposes of reprinting only. decline in national sales activity in September, said CREA President Beth Crosbie. That said, there are other markets with ample supply but sellers there are holding firm on price. There is a lot of variation in housing market trends depending on the type of housing, neighbourhood and price segment. All real estate is local and your REALTOR is your best source for information about how the housing market is shaping up where you currently live or might like to in the future. Actual (not seasonally adjusted) activity in September stood 10.6 per cent above levels reported in the same month last year. September sales were up from year-ago levels in about 80 per cent of all local markets, led by Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, the Okanagan region, Calgary, Greater Toronto and Montreal. The increase reflects activity in September 2013 that was handicapped by the occurrence of five Sundays, since that day is the lowest volume trading day for home sales. 1 All figures in this release except price measures are seasonally adjusted unless otherwise noted.

2 The Canadian Real Estate Association News Release Sales activity for the year-to-date in September was five per cent above where it stood in the first nine months of 2013, and remains broadly in line (+1.6 per cent) with the 10-year average for the period. The number of newly listed homes declined by 1.6 per cent in September compared to August. New supply was down in just over half of all local markets, led by Calgary, Edmonton, Greater Toronto, Kingston and Ottawa. The national sales-to-new listings ratio was 55.7 per cent in September. With sales and new listings having fallen in tandem, it was little d from its reading of 55.6 per cent the previous month. A sales-to-new listings ratio between 40 and 60 per cent is usually described as a balanced market. Just over half of all local markets posted a sales-to-new listings ratio in this range in September. Two-thirds of the remainder posted readings above the 60 per cent threshold that marks the border between balanced and seller s market territory, almost all of which are located in British Columbia, Alberta and Southern Ontario. The number of months of inventory is another important measure of the 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. There were 5.9 months of inventory nationally at the end of, up slightly from 5.8 months in August and slightly below the 6.0 months reported in May, June and July. Both the sales-to-new listings ratio and the number of months of inventory remain well within balanced market territory while pointing to a national market that has tightened since the beginning of the year. The MLS Home Price Index (MLS HPI) provides a better gauge of price trends than is possible using averages because it is not affected by s in the mix of sales activity the way that average price is. Greater Moncton joins the MLS HPI this month, bringing the total number of markets covered by the index to 11, representing more than half of sales activity across Canada. The Aggregate Composite MLS HPI rose by 5.28 per cent on a basis in September. Price growth has been steady at about five to five-and-a-half per cent since the beginning of the year. (Chart B) Year-over-year price growth accelerated slightly for two-storey single family homes and slowed further for apartment units. Price gains for one-storey single family homes and townhouse/row units were little d compared to August. Chart B Two-storey single family homes continue to post the biggest price gains (+6.52 per cent), followed closely by townhouse/row units (+5.51 per cent) and one-storey single family homes (+5.07 per cent). Price growth for apartment units remains comparatively more modest (+3.05 per cent). Data table available to media upon request, for purposes of reprinting only.

3 The Canadian Real Estate Association News Release Price growth varied among housing markets tracked by the index. As in recent months, the biggest gains were posted by Calgary ( per cent), Greater Toronto (+7.82 per cent), and Greater Vancouver (+5.26 per cent). Price gains were fairly flat elsewhere, with only Vancouver Island having posted gains greater than consumer price inflation (Table 1). The actual (not seasonally adjusted) national average price for homes sold in was $408,795, up 5.9 per cent from the same month last year. The national average price continues to be skewed upward by sales activity in Greater Vancouver and Greater Toronto, which are among Canada s most active and expensive housing markets. Excluding these two markets from the calculation, the average price is a relatively more modest $325,406 and the increase shrinks to 4.5 per cent. Sales activity and prices in the third quarter were up compared to the second quarter, although momentum going into the fourth quarter is showing tentative signs of waning, said Gregory Klump, CREA s Chief Economist. The continuation of extraordinarily low mortgage rates has been and will continue to be the key support for home sales activity amid continuing price increases in some of Canada s most active and expensive urban centres.
