“Sales activity continues to decline and has fallen below average levels for this time of year, a trend that began to pick up steam a few months ago,” said Julie Heitbohmer, President of the Huron Perth Association of REALTORS®. “New listings recorded an unexpectedly large increase in June, shooting up to the highest level for this month in history. With demand tapering out and supply on the rise, the market has shifted gears out of seller’s territory and into a more balanced position. This has been accompanied by more modest benchmark price gains, with benchmark price levels appearing to have topped out.”
