The report found an increase in second-quarter home sales across 40 per cent of Greater Toronto Area neighbourhoods and 31 per cent of Greater Vancouver communities compared to the first three months of the year.

The benchmark price of a detached home in the city of Toronto was $1,515,763 in July, compared to $2,073,989 in February, according to the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board.The price decreases have been less pronounced in Vancouver. The benchmark home price of a single-family home was $2,000,600 in July, compared to $2,139,200 in April.Some realtors have seen sellers chose to de-list their home amid the downturn in prices, leading to a crunch in inventory in certain regions.
