Yet, despite the falling prices, CREB president Ron Stanners said city home prices are still higher now than they were last year at this time.

"The market place is very good right now, but it has slowed down over the last three or four months," said Stanners. "It's beginning to move more towards a buyers' market but even still, sellers are still getting much more today than they were this time last year."

The pattern was identical in the condominium market, where more supply and fewer sales also resulted in more affordable prices.
