However, I can see clearly from my monthly survey of real estate agents undertaken with REINZ that there are more people getting out and investigating what the market has to offer, motivated by changes in quite a few things.
On average since the middle of 2020 a net 7% of real estate agents responding in my survey have said that they are seeing fewer people showing up at open homes. The latest reading is a net 42% saying that they are seeing more people. This is up from 32% late in May and just 3% in April. Physical property perusals have markedly picked up in a short period of time.
