Hello everyone, sharing with you the latest Candian Home Sales figures for August 2014.
So, how do our North Vancouver micro markets compare? While the overall Canadian market sits in balanced territory, sales of our single family detached homes sit firmly in a Seller's market - at 37.6% of listed homes selling. We've been performing this way for all of 2014, and there is every indication this isn't going to change this fall. With active listing inventory below last year, now is a great time to sell a house on the North Shore.
(For reference a balanced market is 15%-20% of active listings selling, a Seller's >20%, and a buyer's market <15%)
Here are some of the Canadian highlights:
