The lower number of houses and huge demand has created a gap that’s going to continue impacting Oakville Real Estate in 2021. Then there are low-interest rates that Oakville Real Estate agents feel are going to stay steady in the upcoming year thus, keeping the buyer demand high. The RE/MAX outlook for Oakville Real Estate is expected to see an increase of 5% in the average prices in 2021. If this Canadian Housing Market Outlook report holds to the estimated numbers, the average house pricing will climb to $974,015 by the end of next year.
Christopher Alexander, RE/MAX executive vice-president for Ontario and Atlantic Canada, while detailing out the report mentioned, “People are really looking at their living situations. They are forced to buy and make decisions out of necessity. Wants are out the window. It’s all about what I need to live comfortably, to be able to work and be with the children.
Alexander further added that the Oakville Condo market that faced a drop in sales in 2020 will resurface as a good investment option with more and more people immigrating to Canada, boosting the flow again.
