The Real Estate Board of Metro Vancouver reports “That home buyer activity returned to near record levels across Metro Vancouver in May. And, while sales are inching closer to the record-breaking pace of 2016, the market itself looks different. Sales last year were driven by demand for single-family homes; this year, it’s clear that townhomes and condominiums are leading the way. The sales-to-active listing ratio In Metro Vancouver for single family homes is 31%, 46.6% for condos and 76.1% for townhomes."
With such strong condiitons for Seller's, the key to success in any market is to be well prepared, and getting you ready for all market conditions is my top priority in 2017! 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
