According to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), national home sales dipped 2.7% month-over-month, contributing to an overall 1.9% decrease in transactions compared to 2024, totaling 470,314 units. The MLS Home Price Index also saw a yearly decline of 4%, with the national average home price settling at $673,335.
