Yes, the market slowed down. But here’s the flip side: it could be your best chance to buy in years.

The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) recently downgraded its sales forecast for 2025. While that might sound like a setback, it’s actually great news if you’re thinking about buying.

Sales dropped 9.3% year-over-year in March, and prices fell by $30,000 below what experts predicted back in January. Less competition, more inventory, and softer prices? Sounds like a buyer’s market to us.

The national average sale price fell to $678,331 in March-a 3.7% year-over-year drop. CREA also revised its national price forecast to $687,898, just 0.3% below 2024 but far from the rebound many expected at the start of the year.

What’s behind the cooldown? Uncertainty around tariffs and the economy has left many buyers sitting on the sidelines. But if you’re ready, this quieter market could give you the upper hand.
