Here is what The Woodstock-Ingersoll Realestate board is saying. Woodstock & District home sales and new listings slow sharply in February Residential sales activity recorded through the Ontario Collective MLS® system for the Woodstock-Ingersoll & District area numbered 73 units in February 2018. This was down 51.3% from the record setting February a year earlier, but and somewhat below average for this time of year. On a year-to-date basis home sales totaled 149 units over the first two months of the year. This was a decrease of 40.9% from the same period in 2017. “While there is no doubt activity has slowed to start the year, it is important to recognize that the large year-over-year decline is less a story about sales right now and far more about how unprecedented February 2017 was,” said William Cattle, President of the Woodstock-Ingersoll & District Real Estate Board. “With so little supply on the market and so little new product coming on so far this year, it is an open question as to whether the current slowdown in sales is coming from the demand or the supply side, or both.
