Market Updates
During the process of buying or selling a home, countless questions are bound to surface regardless of how "seasoned" you are in Real Estate. Some questions are easily answered, however others may require a bit of research and study. I understand how difficult it can be to sift through the mountain of information out there in order to find answers that are relevant and meaningful to you.
As a firm believer in "knowledge is power," I do my best to educate and inform my Buyers and Sellers about the current market conditions and the process involved once you have made the decision to move.

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

The Real Estate Board of Metro Vancouver reports
"Home buyer activity returned to more typical summer levels in Metro Vancouver* in July, with sales 0.7% above the 10-year average for the month. Housing demand is inconsistent across the region right now, with pockets of the market still receiving multiple offers while others are not. This varying market-by-market demand is due to a combination of price, property type and location. With a normal summer slow down in buyer activity, we saw the selection of homes for sale in the region edge above 9,000 properties for the first time in 2017.

The Real Estate Board of Metro Vancouver reports
“The imbalance between supply and demand in the condominium market is creating home buyer competition across Metro Vancouver. Two distinct markets have emerged this summer. The detached home market has seen demand ease back to more typical levels while competition for condominiums is creating multiple offer scenarios and putting upward pressure on prices for that property type. Home buyers have more selection to choose from in the detached market today while condominium listings are near an all-time low on MLS®. Detached listings have increased every month this year, while the number of condominiums for sale has decreased each month since February"

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."
