Winnipeg Housing Market Report - Updated & Current

Housing and Condo Sales for May 2023

Winnipeg REALTORS have just released the sales and listing stats for houses and condos for May 2023, and some interesting factors are emerging.  After a slower start, sales are starting to pick up,

Let's see how the overall, total MLS stats compare between May '23 and May '22

Winnipeg Housing Market Report - Real Estate Market Winnipeg Housing Market

As we can see, overall listings are up 48% compared to last year, while sales are down 12%.  Remember that these stats are for ALL Winnipeg REALTORS market areas, which include the entire southeast corner of the Province.

Let's now take a look at the 3 separate categories of detached homes, attached homes and condominiums.

Detached Home Listings and Sales 

These are the main segment of the market.  Stand-along residential homes of all styles and sizes.

Winnipeg Housing Market Report - Real Estate Market Winnipeg Housing Market

Here, during May, 2,042 active listings were recorded, which is a 48% increase from May 2022.  More choices for buyers means a more buyer-friendly environment. 

Compared against the 5-year average, we are actually on par with the number of listings, although the sales are still lagging about 10% behind the 5-yr avg, and 12% behind last year.

The average detached house sold for nearly $408,000, which is also down 10% year over year, but UP 7% over the 5-yr average.

So inventory is UP, sales and prices are down when compared to 2022.  A good time to buy?

In Winnipeg, on June1st, we had 1,214 houses available ON THAT DATE, as compared to only 910 the same date a year earlier.

Winnipeg Housing Market Report - Real Estate Market Winnipeg Housing MarketAttached Home Sales and Listings

This category includes side by sides and townhomes. Here we see that inventory is also up 40% when compared to last year, and still 25% higher than the 5-yr average.

Prices are also down slightly, 7% from last year and  are UP 10% from the 5 yr average.

Winnipeg Housing Market Report - Real Estate Market Winnipeg Housing Market

These side by sides and very often townhouse style residences offer a lower priced alternative to stand alone homes, and can save a buyer ten's of thousands of dollars.  The trade-off for owning attached home are explained in this article.

Condominium Listings and Sales

Condominium listings include apartment style, townhouse style and even detached homes.

Winnipeg Housing Market Report - Real Estate Market Winnipeg Housing Market

As we can see, 525 listings during May '23 represents a 31% increase over last year, but a 19% DE-crease over the 5-yr average.  Sales are down 13% compared to May '22, but pretty much on par with the 5-yr average.  And unlike housing, condos have held their pricing, increasing 2% from last year, and 6% over the 5-yr average.

On June 1st, in Winnipeg, we had had 391 Condos available, compared to just 312 the same day in 2022.

What about interest rates?

While all those numbers point to a more buyer-friendly environment, some folks point to the higher interest rates as a deterrent.  Here is another way to look at this

“Interest rates will go up and down, but the purchase price is forever.”

Unless you're lucky (or wealthy enough) to pay your mortgage off in 5 yrs, you will most likely have to re-new it a few times.  Each time you will be subject to the current interest rates of the day.

Your mortgage payment will, of course, be based on your current outstanding debt.  And right now, you can buy a house for around 10% less than last year.  PLUS have more homes to choose from, AND fewer bidding wars than last year.

All of this adds up to an encouraging sign for home buyers.

If you're interested in exploring your options, and see how much home your current pre-approval will buy for you, call me to set up a free buyer consultation.

Is spring 2023 turning into a great ‘Buyers Market'?

When comparing listings and sales, year over year, there is no doubt that numbers are looking favorable for home and condo buyers in Winnipeg.  Let's take a look at the stats of the month of April 22 and April 23.

Winnipeg Housing Market Report - Real Estate Market Winnipeg Housing Market

As we can see from the ‘ALL MLS' graph, active available listings (all types of houses and condos) are up 70% over last year, same time. They are actually right in line with the 5-yr average of available listings (3,548)

At the same time, property sales are down by 24% from last year……  as well as being down 17% from the 5 yr average.

Detached Homes in Winnipeg

The numbers for stand-along houses (detached homes) is even more telling.  The active listings for the Winnipeg Real Estate Board area are 1,761, which is nearly double (+84%) of the active listings in April 2022, which were 956.

At the same time, sales are off by 25% when compared to last year.  So these numbers alone would suggest a nod towards a buyers market.  Since there are MORE HOMES for sale, and FEWER sales happening, buyers overall face less competition, more choices and fewer bidding wars.  But the story does not end there.  Take a look at the average prices:

Last year the average detached home sold for $447,295 while this year its $409,286,  a drop of 9%.  A third sign of a buyers market.

  • Increased Inventory
  • Lower buyer activity
  • Lower home prices

Winnipeg Housing Market Report - Real Estate Market Winnipeg Housing Market

Attached Homes in Winnipeg

How about the so-called attached homes.  These are side-by-sides and townhomes.  Home builders have been constructing these as an alternative for first time buyers.  Since they use less land, and less building material, they are quite a bit cheaper to build.  Let's see how those are faring:

Winnipeg Housing Market Report - Real Estate Market Winnipeg Housing Market

Here active listings are actually more than double, going from 122 in 2022 to 252 this year.  Sales are off 28%,  from 109 last year to 79 in April 2023.  And prices are also down 28%, to an average of $326,995.

So the story is very much the same as it is with detached homes…….more availability, less competition among buyers and lower prices to boot.

Condominiums in Winnipeg

Does the story repeat for condos in Winnipeg as well? Yes, but not the same extreme.

Winnipeg Housing Market Report - Real Estate Market Winnipeg Housing Market

The 484 available condominiums are a 42% increase over last year, which sales are off by 24%.  Last April we sold 224 condos, whereas this year we only sold 171.  However prices have remained fairly stable, dropping just 1% for the average sale, from $261,802 last year to $258,571 this year.

Transcript of August WInnipeg Real Estate Report

[00:00:00] Bo Kauffmann: Wait till you hear what's going on in the Winnipeg real estate market. That's coming up next on Winnipeg's real estate podcast.

[00:00:09] You're listening to the Bo knows real estate podcast tips and advice for home buyers, sellers, and owners with award winning Remax agent Bo Kaufman.

[00:00:25] Hello, this is Bo Kaufman Remax performance Realty in Winnipeg. And what a difference a couple of months makes we've gone from a super, super insanely strong seller's market, which was happening in April and may. June started to slow down and July saw further slow downs. And right now it's turned into an almost too strong a buyer's market.

[00:00:44] It's completely swung the other way.. There are reports of listings going up and getting one showing in the first week on the market. I'm not talking about offers. I'm talking to just one showing. So why is this happening? I think rising interest rates have one or one reason. Second reason might be that buyers are just fatigued.

[00:01:03] They've been getting beaten in April and may and parts of June. And they've just taken a break. And the third reason is that August traditionally is a slower time. People that want to get into a house before the school starts have already done their buying and August is actually a big moving month.

[00:01:19] So August is super busy for lawyers and moving companies. So one of the most common questions I get is when it's a great time to buy a house while it's right now. So actually I've got buyers that I work with throughout April and may we kept. We kept getting hosed. We kept getting beaten by 10, 12, 15 offers going a hundred thousand over asking.

[00:01:38] And they basically gave up around June. They had to renew their lease, which was up in July and they just emailed me and saying, Hey, we just, we had to renew our lease. We're gonna go one more year and we're gonna come back into it. Next spring. Guess what? So I told them exactly what I'm gonna tell you now, traditionally, and I'm going back over the last 17 years.

[00:01:56] Cause that's all the history that I know. Cause I've been doing this for 17 years now. Spring is the singularly worst time to buy a house. That's because everybody else is doing it. There's a famous saying that says that if everybody else is buying, sell. Another way to look at it is if everybody else is buying, don't buy it that time.

[00:02:14] There's super competition. It's just a natural thing in Winnipeg. We hibernate through December, January, February, and then spring comes out and all the buyers come out and that's when you start getting these crazy Bing worse, this year was absolutely insane. But even in past years, April and May have been really busy, very competitive.

[00:02:34] So that's probably the worst time to buy. You should be looking at buying right now are a lot of listings on the market and some of them aren't getting any showings, let alone multiple offers. So let's look at some of the numbers of how many listings there are and compare that to spring. On August 1st, we actually had 1,263 houses for sale on the market.

[00:02:57] 1263. Compare that to 426 in April and 568 in may. It's almost triple the amount of listings available. So breaking that down houses under a quarter million dollars, we have 288 in April. We had a hundred. So now we have nearly 300 throughout the month of July. We sold about 108 of these houses.

[00:03:19] Compare that to last year, same time, 151. So that's like a 35% less than last year houses between two 50 and 500,000. We have 561 homes on the market. In February we had 116. Now we have about five times as many homes available as we did in February. We've sold throughout the month of July 482 of them, 482 compared. 583 in may.

[00:03:49] Next price range up the 500 to 1 million. We have 355 homes on the market. We had 80 in February. So now we have 355. We've sold 190 in the month of July. And compare that to three 50 in the month of may. So nearly half as many sales in this price category as we had in may, just two months ago and the million dollar plus homes, we have 59 on the market.

[00:04:17] Compared to nine in February. So 59 that's, six times as many. And we've sold five in the month of July compared to 18 in the month of may. So you can see buyer activity is way down. Listings are up. This is the time to to buy a house. Yes, interest rates have gone up. You can still get a pretty good.

[00:04:37] Traditionally speaking, if you're paying 4% or 5%, that's actually a very good rate. My father-in-law. I remember him telling me he bought his house in 1967 and his in-laws told him he was nuts because he paid 6% interest, which was to them was really high. But traditionally five and 6% are really low rates compared to the 18% that we had 30, 40 years.

[00:05:02] No, you can't get 1.9 % anymore, but you also don't have to pay a hundred grand over asking anymore. So who's looking for a house right now. Gimme a shout and let's look at condos next because we're gonna see a very similar picture.

[00:05:17] This episode of Winnipeg's real estate podcast is sponsored by Urban Topcoat, paint and design, bringing quality fine finishes to your home. Whether you're planning to sell, have just settled in or looking for a robust color refresh Urban Topcoat, paint and design has your home covered. There's quality in their hands and they leave it in their work call Rob white today at two oh four seven nine one eight oh two.

[00:05:41] Currently we have 365 condos available in all of Winnipeg. That is up from three 12 in June two 40 in may. So 365 available right now, lots of choices out there in the month of July, we've sold 160 condos. It's a little bit more than what we did in in April and March condos under a quarter million dollars.

[00:06:04] We've sold about 80 of them in. Compared to 113 in may. So those sales are down as well and condos over a quarter million, that's all the way up to whatever the infinity is. I believe there's still a million dollar condo mil, a few million dollar plus condos out there. We have available 168. We've sold.

[00:06:23] 82 in the month of July. And that's in line with what we did last year, where we sold 76 last year in the month of July. But in may, this year, we sold over a hundred, same with June. So those sales now they're 82, they're down 20% or so as well. Again. Just like houses. It's a good time to buy a condo right now as well.

Winnipeg Real Estate Market Update February 2022

Welcome to the real estate quickie for Feb 2022

First, let's look at the HOUSING market.

On Feb 1st we have 306 houses for sale in Winnipeg. Let's put that into context.  Last year, which as you may recall, was a super hot sellers market, but we actually had 481 Houses available,  or about 60% MORE than today.  And 2 years ago, that number was over 1100….nearly 4 times what it is right now.

What are the real world effects of this type of market?  House went up for sale in St James last week, at 370K, got 19 offers and sold for over 100K more….

Over the month of January, which is normally a pretty slow month, we sold 273 houses, with another 55 showing as pending,  for a total potential sale of 328….   That means that, at this pace, if NO further listings came to market, everything would be sold in the next 29 days…..  that is a super low inventory level.

But how about condos?  Traditionally, they have a history of being more affordable and available.

Well, there are 227 Condos of all prices available in Winnipeg right now.  One year ago that number was 402…..  and 2 yrs ago it was 561

In January, we sold 69 condos, with another 40 showing as pending, for a total potential sale of 109 condos.  This inventory level sits at 65 days….   While that's double the level of houses, in the condo-market this is super fast.

So even condos are now selling with multiple offers, there is simply no escaping it.

If you're a buyer, hold off if you can.  And if you're a seller, RIGHT NOW is a great time to list your home.

If you have to do both, there are strategies available to maximize your results….call me to discuss that may be best for your unique and distinct situation.
