"February sales were markedly lower than 2022, both in terms of average price and sales volume," says OMDREB President Hunter Obee.
"However, we saw an uptick in prices from January, indicating that buyers may be stepping back into the market as the interest rate tightening cycle nears it's end. It's still too early to say that we've reached a bottom on pricing, but signs are looking positive for a relatively strong first half of the year," continues Obee.
