November 2024 Winnipeg housing market update
On November 15, 2024, the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) released the latest Winnipeg housing market figures for the month of October 2024. The data shows robust activity, with 1,239 residential properties sold, representing an 18.8% increase compared to the same month last year.
A total of 1,494 homes were newly listed in October, down -10.2% year-over-year, indicating a tightening supply in the market. The average home price in Winnipeg reached $393,768 in October, marking a 7.9% increase from the previous year.
Buying conditions have tightened significantly compared to the previous month. The sales-to-new-listings ratio (SNLR) climbed to 82.9%, which is up 20.2% year-over-year and 19.5% higher than September's figure of 63.4%. According to CREA, an SNLR between 45% and 65% indicates a balanced market, while ratios above 65% signal a seller’s market and below 45% a buyer’s market. The elevated SNLR suggests that Winnipeg's housing market is currently favouring sellers, with strong demand and limited supply.

Winnipeg closing costs
When applying for a mortgage in Winnipeg, you'll need to factor in the closing costs that will accompany your property purchase. Most of these will need to be paid in cash, up front, in addition to your down payment, though some of them can be added to your mortgage.
- Manitoba Land Transfer Tax: Manitoba has a province-wide land transfer tax that will need to be paid when you purchase the property. Manitoba land transfer tax rates vary based on the purchase price, ranging from 0% to 2%. You can learn more on our dedicated Manitoba land transfer tax page.
- Mortgage default insurance: If your down payment is less than 20%, you'll have to pay for mortgage default insurance coverage (often known as CMHC insurance) on top of your mortgage. This is typically rolled into your mortgage, but it's important to consider it.
- Sales tax (PST) on CMHC premiums: Manitoba used to charge PST on CMHC premiums. It scrapped the tax in 2020, as part of its response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
These are just some of the closing costs you’ll have to pay in Winnipeg. Learn more on our closing costs education centre page.
Winnipeg first-time home buyer rebates
Some Canadian provinces and cities offer a refund of the land transfer tax for first-time home buyers, in an attempt to make it easier for first-time home buyers to get into the real estate market.
Unfortunately, Manitoba does not offer such a rebate. However, Winnipeg's first-time home buyers are still able to access many of the other first-time home buyer programs in Canada.
