The Real Estate Board of Metro Vancouver reports:
"Apartment and townhome activity is outpacing the detached home market across Metro Vancouver*. This activity helped push total residentail sales above the historical averages for September 2017. Last month we saw a 25.2% increase in sales over September 2016, and sales 13.1% above the 10-year September average. Detached sales made up 30% of all sales in September and represented 62% of all homes listed for sale on the MLS. This dynamic for detached homes has slowed the pace of upward pressure that we've seen on detached home prices over the last few years. Generally, analysts say that downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below the 12% mark for a sustained period, currently we sit at 14.5% for detached homes in Metro Vancouver."
The key to success in any market is to be well prepared, and getting you ready for all market conditions is my top priority. If you are planning a change in lifestyle, let's work together to make it happen. I look forward to working for you. Regards, Dodi 604.644.3634
