The Canadian Real Estate Association has revised its home sales forecast for 2025, estimating total sales to reach 469,503, a three percent decrease from 2024. June saw a 3.5 percent increase in home sales compared to last year and a 2.8 percent rise from May. The national average home price is projected to fall 1.7 percent to $677,368 due to trade war-related uncertainties. CREA's senior economist stated that while a recovery may have been delayed, markets appear to be entering a long-anticipated rebound.
