The doom and gloom is the actual number of sales. For all types of properties, condo's, semi's, THs... there were approximately 400 sales compared to about a 1000 in 2018. Detached 2-storey homes dropped to 181 sales from 522. That is significant.
Buyer's have more choice but still have to deal with tight lending rules and high prices which makes acquiring a property difficult.
It's difficult to forecast the remainder of the year so we will just have to wait and see.
