Six consecutive months of record monthly sales have pushed year-to-date sales over 15,000 for the first time. November sales of 1,193 were up 32% over the same month in 2019.
Recovery in sales since June has turned into a strong resurgence in MLS® market activity with August registering 1,845 sales, the third straight month of 1,800 plus sales.
“May market activity was clearly impacted by COVID-19 at the outset of May with MLS® sales down similar to the 30% drop off in April sales by mid-month,” said Catherine Schellenberg, president of WinnipegREALTORS®
Following the best first-quarter market results in WinnipegREALTORS® history, COVID-19 put the brakes on the market as a number of prospective sellers and buyers took a wait and see approach to what usually is a big jump in activity to kick off the spring market.
March finished off a strong first quarter of sales activity with 1,089 sales, an 8 % increase over March 2019. First quarter MLS® sales rose 12% over the same period in 2019.
MLS® sales activity in February replicated January’s 15% increase resulting in 837 sales. The extra day helped as the only other year to see sales rise above 800 in February was in the 2016 leap year.
