WHAT MANITOBA’S HOUSING MARKET LOOKS LIKE
Julie Friesen, president of the MREA, said houses in the province continue to sell rapidly and the average price of a home has increased.
“We have noticed month over month the numbers have decreased and this can a result in the change of interest rates and a bit of buyer fatigue out there, due to low inventory. There simply is more buyers than homes,” said Friesen.
Despite the decrease, she said the average home price has gone up 13 per cent, which she links to a supply shortage.
“We are encouraging people to broaden their horizons. Don’t rule anything out. If condos or some rural communities weren’t an option before, we encourage people to look at all options.”
Looking at May projections, Friesen expects a bit of a cool down on the market as supply continues to not be as available compared to the number of ready buyers.
“While inventory has not been able to recover, we are hopeful more properties may come to the market. Again, that might boil down to the weather improving as well. We have noticed that with the flood, some parts of the province, those were some limiting factors. So I believe that is only going to get better.”
