The Winnipeg housing market has slowed somewhat from it's height of activity in the spring and early summer.
As evidence of this, we can see that currently there are over 1200 homes listed "For Sale" in the city, with another 245 Condos in addition to that number.
Compare this to the spring time when there were under 600 homes and under 175 condos at any one time.
Reasons for the 'blip' in activity: it could be a number of things, such as pre-occupation with the federal election, or worries about the economy and the stock market fluctuation ("let's wait and see what happens" type of thinking).
No matter what the reasons, buyers have more choices right now than they have ever had during the year. So NOW may be the best time to find a house and only have to compete against 1 or 2 other buyers. But don't wait too long.....
