What it means for you

If you are selling: prices are rising, but fewer homes are changing hands, so buyers compare more. A realistic price from day one, based on what similar homes nearby have actually sold for, helps you avoid months on the market.

If you are buying: registered prices in the province have risen every quarter this year, and mortgages are slightly dearer. Get your budget and financing clear before you start viewing, so you can move quickly when the right home appears.
