Chris, Tara, and Matthew wrote guest blogs? To be quite honest, I was thinking about pre-writing three blogs, or, as is often the case, writing blogs while I’m away on vacation. That always seems easy in advance (“I write three blogs per week, I’m sure I can carve out the time while I’m away!”) You don’t say! To me, 2.6%

To absolutely nobody’s surprise, I saw her listing hit MLS today with an agent I had never heard of from a brokerage I had never heard of. Sure, we’re down from May of 2023, but year-over-year, we’re not seeing a decline. And by ever, I mean since 2002 when this specific set of TRREB data began.

What I find quite odd is the 6% year-over-year drop in May. From 3,256 new listings in May of 2020 down to 3,050 this past month. It’s not like new condo lease listings skyrocketed in May of last year. So why the decline in May? In May, however, the trend turns in the other direction. Any idea why ?
