Oakville May 2021

Despite the warm weather, the housing market is showing no signs of cooling. The real estate market has undoubtedly evolved over the last year, with changes in both buyer and seller behaviour. In this time when people are weighing their options and weighing up their future needs, we have seen a surge in lifestyle purchases. Let's take a look back at what has happened in the Oakville local property market, and what this may mean for the future.

‍

For the month of May, home sales have remained strong across Canada despite COVID-19 restrictions. We saw a significant increase in the number of newly listed properties during the month with homes selling quickly. The infusion of new listings combined with the strength in demand set the stage for the average price to increase across all styles of homes in Oakville.

‍

The year-over-year statistics indicate an upward trend, with the average price of a detached home in Oakville now $1,829,841- up 27.7% from May 2020.

Home builders will be under intense pressure to boost the available inventory on the market to meet buyer demand with such a limited supply of existing homes. However, increasing material and labour costs, along with supply chain challenges, have contributed to significantly higher construction costs, with builders passing these costs on to homebuyers. The rising temperatures, rising sales prices, and the reopening of the economy may encourage more sellers to the market in the coming months, but historically low levels of homes for sale are likely to continue for some time.
