Interesting times as the market changes.
transactions are down significantly as cooling rate have an impact.

RBC Economics - Canadian Housing:

• Fewer—and more budget-constrained—active buyers in the market are taking steam out of prices.
• The national composite MLS HPI is now down 7.4% since February’s peak.
• We see that trend continuing in the near term with the Bank of Canada poised to stay in tightening mode until the end of this year.
