ONTARIO - The number of home sales processed through the MLS®Systems of Canadian real estate Boards and Associations rose 2.3per cent in April 2015 compared to March. This marks the third con-secutive month-over-month increase and raises national activity backto where it was during most of the second half of last year.April sales were up from the previous month in two-thirds of all localmarkets, led by the Greater Toronto Area, the surrounding GoldenHorseshoe region, and Montreal. "As expected, low mor tgage inter-est rates and the onset of spring ushered many homebuyers off thesidelines, par ticularly in regions where winter was long and bitter,"said CREA President Pauline Aunger. "All real estate is local andREALTORS® remain your best source of information about sales andlistings where you live or might like to in the future.""In recent years, the seasonal pattern for home sales and listings hasbecome amplified in places where listings are in shor t supply rela-tive to demand," said Gregory Klump, CREA's Chief Economist. "Thispar ticularly stands out in and around Toronto. Sellers there have in-creasingly delayed listing their home until spring. Once listed, it sellsfairly quickly. Sales over the year as a whole in Southern Ontario are

likely being constrained to some degree by a shor t supply of singlefamily homes. However, the busy spring home buying and sellingseason has become that much busier as a result of sellers waitinguntil winter has faded before listing."Actual (not seasonally adjusted) activity in April stood 10.0 per centabove levels repor ted in April 2014. This marks just the third timeever that sales during the month of April topped 50,000 transactions.Sales were up on a year-over-year basis in about 70 per cent of alllocal markets, led by activity in the Lower Mainland of British Colum-bia, Greater Toronto, and Montreal. Of the 18 local markets that setnew records for the month of April, all but two are in Southern Ontario.The number of newly listed homes was vir tually unchanged (+0.1per cent) in April compared to March. Below the surface, new supplyrose in almost two thirds of all local markets, led by a big rebound inHalifax-Dar tmouth following a sharp drop in March. This was offsetby declines in Greater Vancouver, Victoria, and the Okanagan Region,as well as by a continuing pullback in new supply in Calgary. Newlistings in Calgary have dropped by one-third from their multi-yearhigh at the end of last year to their current multi-year low.

Average homes price sold in April was $448,862,up 9.5 per cent on a year-over-year basis
