Burlington Ontario Residential Homes Market Update

urlington Market update! Here’s what happened in December:

Month-over-Month (November to December):

Sales dropped by 58%
New listings plummeted by 98%
Average price fell 14%
Days on market increased by 13%
Year-over-Year (2023 to 2024):

Sales were similar to last year but still below long-term trends.

New listings increased throughout the year, pushing inventory higher.

Burlington avoided oversupply seen in other areas, keeping prices stable overall.

Semi-detached and row homes saw modest sales growth and stayed in demand with less than 2 months of supply.

Apartments had the highest months of supply (nearly 4 months) and were the only property type to see prices dip.

What does this mean for 2025?

With rising inventory and seasonal slowdowns, buyers might have more options, while sellers need a sharp pricing and marketing strategy to stand out. The spring market will likely bring more activity, so now’s the time to prepare!

Canada's annual inflation rate ticked down to 1.9 per cent in November.

Canada's annual inflation rate ticked down to 1.9 per cent in November, with the slowdown in price growth mostly driven by lower mortgage interest costs and cheaper travel tours, Statistics Canada said on Tuesday.

Inflation largely came down across the board. The price of groceries slowed 2.6 per cent compared to the same time a year ago. But those costs are still high, having risen 19.6 per cent since November 2021, the agency said.

While the headline inflation rate hit the Bank of Canada's two per cent target in September, its preferred core measures of inflation are still trending well above that magic number, with CPI-median at 2.6 per cent and CPI-trim at 2.7 per cent in November.

"This report reinforces the point that the Bank will now turn to a more gradual path for rate cuts as we head into 2025," wrote BMO chief economist Douglas Porter in a note to clients. 

While BMO expects another cut at the central bank's Jan. 29 meeting, "another meaty set of core readings next month will prompt some chattering about a pause, especially with the [U.S. Federal Reserve] seemingly headed that way in January and the loonie on the ropes," Porter wrote.

Mortgage interest costs slow, but rent prices still growing

On the housing front, shelter prices grew at a slower pace of 4.6 per cent year-over-year in November.

Mortgage interest costs slowed for the 15th consecutive month. But rental prices grew at a faster yearly rate in November (7.7 per cent) compared with October (7.3 per cent), with Ontario, Manitoba and Nova Scotia hit hardest.

Gas prices also fell in November to –0.5 per cent, but had a smaller year-over-year decline due to a base-year effect — the impact of comparing prices in a given month to the same month a year earlier. With gasoline excluded, overall inflation rose two per cent last month.

Black Friday deals contributed to lower prices last month, especially in household operations, furnishing and equipment (lower prices for cell services came in at –6.1 per cent), and in clothing and footwear, according to StatsCan. 

The monthly decline for children's clothing is the largest one ever recorded in November, the agency said.

Burlington November Housing Market Update

Market Update: Burlington Real Estate Insights 🏡

Over the past three months, sales have picked up, but they haven’t fully made up for earlier slowdowns. Here’s what’s happening:

•Sales Trends: Sales are nearly 1% lower than this time last year and remain 35% below long-term averages.
•Listings & Inventory: New listings are increasing, but we’re still not seeing as many as in previous years.
•Supply Levels: The months of supply (how long it would take to sell all homes if no new ones were listed) is under three months—lower than last year’s three-month average.

Prices:
◦ Detached home prices have been steady, with an average year-to-date increase of nearly 1%.
◦ Apartment-style homes have seen higher inventory, more supply, and slight price declines.

As we head in to the holiday season we have started to see a slow down and typically will continue as we head into December. In the meantime here is a quick look at our activity from October to November.

• Sales: Month-over-month, sales are down 15%, reflecting the seasonal slowdown.
• New Listings: New listings have dropped 47%, meaning there are fewer options for buyers right now.
• Days on Market: Homes are taking longer to sell, with the average days on market increasing to 39 days (up 10 days from October).
