The Real Estate Board of Metro Vancouver reports:
Buyer caution, high prices, new tax announcements, rising interest rates and stricter mortgage requirements are among the factors affecting home buyer and seller activity today. March 2018's residential sales were 23% below the 10-year March average. Despite that, even with lower demand, upward pressure on prices will continue as long as the supply of homes for sale remains low. Last month was the quietest March for home listings since 2009, and the total inventory, particularly in the condo and townhome segments, of homes for sale, remains well below historical norms."
The key to success in any market is to be well prepared. My top priority is to help you navigate these changes in all types of market conditions. 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
