The seasonal monthly pullback in new listings was not enough to prevent November levels from reaching a record high. While sales also remained relatively strong for November, it was not high enough to cause a more significant monthly pullback in inventories, which have not been this high in November since 2018. Some of the gains in new listings were due to a larger share of new homes being listed on the resale market. While recent gains in supply have caused some adjustments in price, prices continue to remain higher than levels reported last year. Year-to-date detached benchmark prices are nearly two per cent higher than levels reported last year.
