Key Points
- Home sales in the Greater Toronto Area have been declining despite recent drops in interest rates, with July marking the second-lowest sales month this year.
- The London and St. Thomas area saw a slight dip in both home sales and prices in July, but the region remains balanced with stable new listings.
- Fixed mortgage rates are expected to decrease further due to falling bond yields, making it an opportune time for buyers and those looking to renew their mortgages to secure lower rates.
