Last year at this time the sales to new listings ratio was at 30%, so we're not far off last year. I was expecting to see more sales this week, simply because things seem busier out there (more showings, more offers etc). One thing that could be slowing things up a bit are conditions - it is harder to get a mortgage these days, so the condition dates are being written for a longer period of time. Sales are not reported until all conditions are removed so the start to the year could be slower because of longer condition periods.
