The aggregate price for all sectors and major regions in Canada gained in April 2013 to $461,000, reaching a new all time high.

Inventory increased slightly to 6.6 months from 6.5 in March 2013, and sales to new listing ratio remained marginally unchanged.

Indicating continued downward pressure in prices could be expected.
