Canadian Real Estate Market Stats for December 2022

In this article we’ll learn about the Canadian real estate market statistics and the Burlington real estate statistics. Recently both the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) and the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), released their statistics for December 2022. There were a total of 98 sales of residential properties within the Burlington real estate market area, a decrease of 23.3 per cent compared to the same time last year. There were a total of 2,522 sales in 2022, which was a decline of 27 per cent compared to 2021. 

“Burlington did see some gains in sales throughout the pandemic, but levels never achieved the same highs as activity reported in 2015. While new listings have also been lower since 2015, 2022 did see a pickup in new listings and a return to more balanced conditions.”

RAHB reported that in Burlington there were a total of 117 new listings, this was an increase of 7.3 per cent year-over-year. The average price of a residential property within the Burlington real estate market was $1,039,940, a decrease of 14 per cent compared to the same time last year. 

The residential property sales within the Canadian real estate market saw a slight increase in both November and December 2022. This isn’t something that is commonly seen at the end of the year. According to CREA, the real estate market tends to slows down in response to uncertainty in the economy.

It’s important to take note that there were some decreases in the sales volume in both 2009 and 2020 within the Canadian real estate market. These were both years where there were some periods of uncertainty in the economy. With that being said, CREA does expect to see the sales volume improve going forward in 2024. 

The Canadian Housing Market Sales Volume 

According to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), the sales volume saw a decrease of almost 40 per cent in December 2022, compared to the same time last year. There was also an increase of 1.3 per cent when it came to the sales volume in November. This remained fairly consistent after there was a significant drop in 2022, it’s common to see this sort of drop at the end of the year.

Since there was a break from the more common annual trend, the market is now indicating that there’s a lot to look forward to in 2023. This is most likely due to the fact that a lot of buyers were pushed out of the market because of increased property prices. Now these potential buyers have the opportunity to enter the real estate market once again.

Another factor that will help buyers re-enter the real estate market is that the real estate market doesn’t have the same sense of urgency it once had. Now that the real estate market is slower and more stable, there’s more focus on being affordable. These are all factors that make it easier for potential buyers to take advantage. 

Affordability Within The Canadian Housing Market 

During the height of the pandemic the average residential property prices increased. This then created a situation where potential buyers were simply priced out. Causing a lot of stress and uncertainty, this didn’t slow down for a while. There are three factors that contributed to the affordability issue. 

Affordability is measured by three factors, house prices, interest rates and income. It was reported by the National Bank’s Q3 Housing Affordability Monitor that affordability had reached levels not seen since 1981 and 1989. In both of those circumstances, the high peaks were then followed by a more balanced market. The Bank of Canada was able to create more vacancies in the job market in order to reduce inflation. Because of that it meant there needed to be a decrease in the interest rate, so that the market can be more affordable.

The residential property prices have had the largest decline year-over-year since 2009. While the average price of a residential property in the entire Canadian real estate market had a 12 per cent decrease in December 2022. Many real estate market areas across the country had an increase in the average price during the height of the pandemic and have now seen that price decrease. 

Burlington’s Real Estate Market for December 2022

Continuing to focus on the housing prices and property sales, it was reported by RAHB that sales eased in the Burlington real estate market area in December 2022. It was also reported that new listings improved, while the inventory remained low. 

The Burlington real estate market is broken down into different areas and each one assigned a number. The most sought after area is Millcroft, located in area 35. This area had the greatest number of residential property sales with a total of 25 in December 2022. This was a decrease of 16.7 per cent compared to the same time last year. There were 30 new listings, which was a slight decrease of 7.1 per cent. The average price of a residential property was $970,986, this was a 13.2 per cent decrease compared to December 2021. 

Another area of significance is area 31, this area had the second greatest number of sales in December 2022. With a total of 20 sales and 20 new listings, sales had a 33.3 per cent decrease. While new listings only had a 16.7 per cent decrease. The average price of a residential property in this area was $834,245. This was a decline of 19.8 per cent compared to the same time last year. 

“The pandemic, combined with historically low interest rates, created an exponential surge in housing demand. Supply could not keep pace, resulting in price growth that far exceeded expectations over a two-year period, 2022 saw conditions start to shift back to a more balanced market. Improved supply is an important component to stabilizing both sales and home prices. If higher lending rates continue, they will weigh on home sales in 2023, however; the dip in prices coupled with better supply choice could start to support a more stable market for the foreseeable future.” — Lou Piriano, RAHB President.

While fewer new properties are being listed below $800,000, there are more opportunities for buyers looking to move up in the market. The danger for both buyers and sellers can be trying to time the market. With conditions sometimes turning quickly or silently, it is important to talk to a professional RAHB REALTOR® who is plugged into the local market.” — Lou Piriano, President of RAHB.

Next we’ll review the final chart the Burlington Residential Table. 

Burlington Residential Table

Burlington Real Estate Statistics

The final chart that we’ll review in this article is the Burlington Residential Table. This table gives us the chance to see a more detailed look at the August real estate market in Burlington. RAHB reported that there were a total of 360 new listings which was an increase of 11.7 per cent compared to August 2021. 

When we look at the number of sales in August 2022 we can see that there were a total of 209 sales. This was a decrease of 10.3 percent when compared to the same time last year.

The median price was $939,900 and was a very small decrease when compared to the same time last year. There are a lot of numbers to review and compared in this chart, helping us to better understand the Burlington real estate market. There are three different types of properties that RAHB reports on and below is a break down of each of these property types. 

Detached, Townhouse and Apartment-Style Properties

It was reported by RAHB that there were a total of 562 sales of detached properties in August 2022. This was a decrease of 23.7 per cent when compared to the same time last year. There were a reported 1,077 new listings of this type of property, which was an increase of 20.2 per cent compared to August 2021. The average price of a detached property within the RAHB market area was $963,565. This was an increase of 1.4 percent compared to August 2021. 

Townhouse properties had a total of 178 sales within the entire RAHB market area. This was an 11.9 per cent increase when compared to the pervious month. However, it was a decrease of 24.9 per cent when compared to the same time last year. 

There were 256 new townhouse listings, this was an increase of 16.4 per cent compared to August 2021. When it came to the average price of this type of property, it was reported to have been $749,344. Which was a very small increase of only 0.4 per cent compared to the previous year. 

The final property type we’ll review is the apartment-style property, which had a total of 108 sales in August 2022. This was a 31.6 per cent decrease when compared to August 2021. There were 221 new listings of apartment-style properties in August 2022, an increase of 22.1 per cent compared to the same time last year. The average price of this type of property was reported to have been $570,666. This was an 8.7 per cent increase compared to the same time last year. 

REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington August 2022 Statistics

The REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) reported a total of 906 sales of residential properties within the entire RAHB market area in August 2022. This was a 24.2 per cent decrease when compared to August 2022. 

There were a reported 1,641 new listings within the entire RAHB real estate market area in August 2022. This was a 20 per cent increase when compared to the same time last year.  

The average price of a residential property within the entire real estate market was reported to have been $858,405. This was a small increase of only two per cent when we compare it to the previous year. 

“RAHB witnessed a rare occurrence for August 2022 as the number of sales increased and the number of new listings to market dropped from July 2022. As this is not a typical pattern for August, this may suggest that sales activity may have bottomed out in July. Meanwhile, RAHB is again seeing certain areas and property categories performing better than others. For example, Haldimand County experienced an overall residential average sale price increase of 3.9 per cent, and the townhouse segment in Burlington saw an average sale price bump of 5.6 per cent. With these variations in mind, contacting a RAHB REALTOR® before you buy or sell remains a key element to help you navigate the local market.” — RAHB President Lou Piriano.
