The Unexpected Surge in Canadian Home Sales in Q4 2023

As we moved into the year 2024, the Canadian real estate market closed out the previous year with an unexpected surge in home sales. According to the statistics released by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), national home sales experienced a significant jump of 8.7% month-over-month in December 2023. This rise in activity marks a promising start for those considering a move in 2024.

Despite a decline of 11.1% from 2022, home sales totalled an impressive 443,511 units in 2023. Such numbers demonstrate resilience and continuity, even when compared to levels recorded following the 2008 financial crisis or after the implementation of the uninsured stress test in 2018.

However, while these figures offer optimism, they also reveal a tightening market with newly listed properties dropping by 5.1% month-over-month in December. This decrease brought new listings to their lowest level since June. With sales increasing and new listings dropping, the national sales-to-new listings ratio tightened to 57.8%, above the long-term average of 55%.
