Sullivan McMullan Real Estate Law is pleased to share insights on the recent developments in the real estate market and how they affect you in Winnipeg and around Manitoba. Drawing from my extensive experience as a Managing Partner at Sullivan McMullan Real Estate Law firm, specializing in real estate law for over 27 years, I offer a unique perspective on these changes.
Understanding the Impact of Rising Mortgage Interest Rates
2023 has been a year of significant shifts in the real estate market, most notably the rise in mortgage interest rates. As a seasoned real estate lawyer, I've seen how these changes impact both buyers and sellers. The increase in rates, reaching up to 8% by mid-October, has affected affordability, especially for first-time buyers. This has led to a noticeable decrease in home sales, making it more challenging for individuals to enter the market.
Navigating Low Inventory in the Winnipeg Market
Another critical development has been the persistently low inventory of homes. While slight improvements have been noted since April 2023, the availability of homes remains significantly lower than pre-COVID levels. This scarcity presents both challenges and opportunities. For buyers, the competition is fierce, and decisions must be made swiftly. For sellers, this means less competition and potentially higher offers for desirable properties.
