The increase puts home sales about 15% above the six-year low reached in February 2019 but still more than 10% below the highs reached in 2016 and 2017. Activity advanced in about 60% of all local markets. Actual (not seasonally adjusted) sales activity stood 12.6% above July 2018, with sales up in most of Canada’s largest markets.
