The Real Estate Board of Metro Vancouver reports:

While the supply of homes for sale has increased across Metro Vancouver, home buyer demand has remained below typical levels for this time of year. Last month’s Metro Vancouver sales were 36.1% below the 10-year September average. Since spring 2018, home listings have risen to levels we haven’t seen in over four years. Despite better choice, one of the reasons buyer demand has moved away from the fast pace of 2015 to 2017 can be attributed to the new mortgage stress test rules. Prices have not adjusted, and buyer’s are now left with less buying power. It is important for both home buyers and sellers to understand what these trends mean to them and what strategies they can deploy in this market

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

The Real Estate Board of Metro Vancouver reports:

The Federal Government’s B20 stress test continues to impact buyer's in our residential market, and has eroded buying power by approximately 20%. These changes have had strong impact on first time home buyers, people renewing their mortgages and buyer’s looking to move up the property ladder. The reality of lower buying power can clearly be seen in last month’s sales, which were 25.2% below the 10-year August sales average in Metro Vancouver, and are mainly the result of slow detached sales. Over the last 3 months we have seen less frenetic housing demand, more balanced conditions in many regions, fewer multiple offers and more choice for buyers. Metro Vancouver currently sits in a buyer’s market for detached houses and a seller’s market for condos and townhomes.

The Real Estate Board of Metro Vancouver reports:

"Summer is traditionally a quieter time of year in real estate, this is particularly true this year. With increased mortgage rates and stricter lending requirements, buyers are opting to take a wait-and-see approach for the time being, and with fewer buyer’s active in today’s market, we’re seeing less upward pressure on home prices across the region. Last month’s sales were 29.3% below the 10-year July sales average. Overall Metro Vancouver sits in a balanced market at 17% of properties sold with opportunities for both buyer’s and seller’s. If we break it down by category: sales of detached homes sit in a buyer’s market at 9.7%, condo sales sit in a seller’s market at 27.2% and townhomes sit in a seller's market at 22%.

The market has begun to absorb and adjust to the new realities. We expect to an uptick in sals volumes and in some prices during the second half of 2018."

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."
