After the rush of new listings in January, home sales and new listings in February were closer to historical averages, which has positioned the overall market in balanced conditions.
With the Bank of Canada's rate cut on March 12th, homebuyers will see improved borrowing conditions while benefiting from the largest selection of homes available since pre-covid times.
