However, the 8.25% increase in the average sale price in April 2020 in comparison to April 2019 indicates that overall home prices have not been negatively impacted at this point. Demand for real estate in Oakville is high. We anticipate continued upward pressure on prices in the months to come as demand continues to outpace supply.
