Many homeowners have been waiting for months to put their house on the market because they don’t think people are buying homes right now. If that’s you, know that even though the housing market has slowed compared to the frenzy of a couple of years ago, it isn’t at a standstill. Contrary to what you may believe, buyers are still active and plenty of homes are selling right now.
According to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), based on the pace of sales right now, just over 473,616 homes will sell this year. With some simple math let’s break down what that really means for you:
473,616 divided by 365 days in a year = 1297.57 houses sell each day
1297.57 divided by 24 hours in a day = 54 houses sell per hour
54 divided by 60 minutes in an hour = about 1 house sells each minute
So, on average, about 1297 homes sell each day in this country.
