Spring real estate market shows 'tempered enthusiasm' as buyers slowly return

Canada's spring real estate market has failed to deliver the robust bloom that experts predicted at the start of the year. While some regions have seen modest rebounds from last year's sluggish spring—when tariffs dampened economic sentiment—many buyers remain on the sidelines. According to Vancouver-based agents, the appetite for real estate remains muted: "People just aren't as excited right now about real estate," suggesting a slower recovery than hoped as affordability and interest rate concerns persist.
