“Although home sales jumped on a monthly basis, levels were largely unchanged on a year-over-year basis despite the second highest June for new listings in history,” said Derek McEwen, President of the Cornwall and District Real Estate Board. “Sellers are obviously motivated and still trying to entice buyers, but the response on the buyer side has been tepid as of late. As a result, overall inventories have risen sharpy over the past several months. Our market is still in balanced territory for the time being but it is inching closer to being tilted in favour of buyers as supply continues to outpace demand.”
