Recent improvements in new listings helped to support the rise in sales this month. Year to date, there have been 700 sales and 1,190 new listings, similar to last year’s levels. In April, both the sales-to-new-listings ratio and months of supply remained at the lower end of the balanced range. Conditions supported further monthly price growth, as the unadjusted benchmark price reached $690,000. Gains over the past three months have brought prices to levels only slightly lower than those reported last April. As in the detached sector, conditions vary by location. In April, prices trended up over March in all districts except the North East and East, which are also reporting higher months of supply. Tighter conditions in other areas supported monthly price gains. Year to date, benchmark prices improved over last year’s levels in the City Centre, North West and West districts.
