The Central Lakes Association of REALTORS® (CLAR) President Vicki Sweeney, reported the latest real estate statistics for CLAR’s regional area.

“February saw an increase in average sale prices across all our regions compared to January 2025, while average days on market declined in most areas. However, growing economic uncertainty—particularly regarding the impact of tariffs on Canadians—may cause some buyers to delay their home purchases in the coming months. That said, we remain encouraged by the continued support of low interest rates,” stated CLAR President, Vicki Sweeney.
