Spring Didn’t Sprout: Record Listings and Market Confidence | The Last Honest Realtor

In this episode of The Last Honest Realtor, host David Fleming unpacks the April 2025 TRREB data and asks the question that’s on every seller’s mind: Why hasn’t spring sprung? Despite record-high listings and multiple Bank of Canada rate cuts, buyer activity remains muted. David dives into the growing confidence gap between buyers and sellers, and what this standoff means for the summer and fall markets. What starts with market stats quickly evolves into a sharp, story-driven look at buyer psychology, seller rigidity, and the misfires that happen when agents don’t set proper expectations. If you’re wondering why listings are piling up and offer nights keep falling flat, this episode delivers the data — and the diagnosis.
