Inventory is improving and according to TREB report the number of new listings rose from 85 (in January 2014) to 113 in January 2015.

"The January results represented good news on multiple fronts. First, strong sales growth suggests home buyers continue to see housing as a quality long-term investment, despite the recent period of economic uncertainty. Second, the fact that new listings grew at a faster pace than sales suggests that it has become easier for some people to find a home that meets their needs,"

said Mr. Etherington.
