Buying a house in Burlington, Oakville, Milton or Halton Hills? Watch this real estate market update for Halton before buying anything.
The real estate market is very slow right now. Part of it is seasonal but the frenzy people were expecting after the Bank of Canada rate cuts has just not happened.
There is a huge supply of homes on the mls that are just sitting there. Not much sales activity. Home sales are down but active listings are up. Each city in Halton is in a buyer's market right now. Home sellers have to price their homes according to today's prices but the spring real estate market of 2023 is not coming back.
Oakville is suffering the most with over 5 months of inventory and other cities like Burlington and Milton are around 4 months of inventory.
So home buyers now have the upper hand.
