Key Points
- Canada's housing market may have reached a turning point with increased home resales in major cities, driven by the Bank of Canada's rate cuts.
- The surge in inventory has provided more options for buyers, but demand still outpaces new listings, shifting bargaining power towards sellers in cities like Toronto and Vancouver.
- While recent interest rate cuts have sparked market activity, affordability remains a significant concern, particularly in high-demand areas like Toronto.
