Is it just me, or has it been incredibly hard to sell? In my opinion, and I've been in real estate for the past 15 years, harder than it's ever been before. There are the obvious reasons, but even in other dark times shadowed by similar reasons, I don't think the market was this dull. What do you think it is?

Even compared to previous downturns, the current market is uniquely challenging: inventory is up, homes are sitting longer, but affordability is still out of reach for many buyers due to persistently high mortgage rates and economic uncertainty. We’ve got more listings than we’ve seen in years, but demand just isn’t keeping pace—buyers are cautious, and many are simply priced out or waiting on the sidelines. In past slowdowns, either rates dropped or pent-up demand kicked in, but this time both buyers and sellers seem stuck, leading to a market that feels more stagnant than ever

I am looking to buy my first property soon - preferably new constructions (anything except condos) anywhere in Ontario/Canada. Any suggestions where I can turn to find new construction projects? I understand I need an agent. Until I find a good one, I am looking at the houses myself. Any suggestions where I can get information about new projects happening in the province?
