Key Points:

Larry Anderson, President of the Board, said, While weve seen a solid increase in new listings compared to August, market conditions continue to be challenging for buyers.
Considering the demand across the region, the increase is simply not enough to bolster the inventory required to create greater balance in the market.
In September, the Board received 2,342 new listings, a decrease of 33.4 per cent compared to last year, and an increase of 11.2 per cent compared to August 2021.
