This represents a 3.5 per cent decrease compared to the 3,881 homes listed in August 2018 and an 18.8 per cent decrease compared to July 2019 when 4,613 homes were listed.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The total number of homes currently listed for sale on the MLS&reg; system in Metro Vancouver is 13,396, a 13.3 per cent increase compared to August 2018 (11,824) and a 5.9 per cent decrease compared to July 2019 (14,240).</p> <p><br></p> <p>For all property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for August 2019 is 16.7 per cent. By property type, the ratio is 12 per cent for detached homes, 18.4 per cent for townhomes, and 21.2 per cent for apartments.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Generally, analysts say downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below 12 per cent for a sustained period, while home prices often experience upward pressure when it surpasses 20 per cent over several months.</p> <p><br></p> <p>&ldquo;With more demand from home buyers, the supply of homes listed for sale isn&rsquo;t accumulating like earlier in the year. These changes are creating more balanced market conditions,&rdquo; Smith said.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The MLS&reg; Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $993,300. This represents an 8.3 per cent decrease over August 2018 and a 0.2 per cent decrease compared to July 2019.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Sales of detached homes in August 2019 reached 706, a 24.5 per cent increase from the 567 detached sales recorded in August 2018. The benchmark price for detached homes is $1,406,700. This represents a 9.8 per cent decrease from August 2018 and a 0.7 per cent decrease compared to July 2019.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Sales of apartment homes reached 1,116 in August 2019, an 8.9 per cent increase compared to the 1,025 sales in August 2018. The benchmark price of an apartment property is $771,000. This represents a 7.4 per cent decrease from August 2018 and a 0.1 per cent increase compared to July 2019.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Attached home sales in August 2019 totalled 409, a 21.4 per cent increase compared to the 337 sales in August 2018. The benchmark price of an attached unit is $654,000. This represents a 7.8 per cent decrease from August 2018, a 0.2 per cent increase compared to July 2019.</p> <p><br></p> <p><span><a href="http://link.rebgv.org/c/4/?T=MTk0NzQyODg%3AMDItYjE5MjQ3LTk0MWUzZjFkNGMyMjQ3ZDlhYTA1YzU0ODQ0OWY2YmNl%3AYW5nZWxlc2VsbHNAZ21haWwuY29t%3AY29udGFjdC0zZjc2ZGI4NTBhNzdlODExYTk1YjAwMGQzYWY0OTIxMS00ZDZiODM1MDU4YWU0NmMzYTk5ZjQxZDc0Y2MyMDMwOQ%3AZmFsc2U%3AMA%3A%3AaHR0cDovL21lbWJlcnMucmViZ3Yub3JnL25ld3MvUkVCR1YtU3RhdHMtUGtnLUF1Z3VzdC0yMDE5LnBkZj9fY2xkZWU9WVc1blpXeGxjMlZzYkhOQVoyMWhhV3d1WTI5dCZyZWNpcGllbnRpZD1jb250YWN0LTNmNzZkYjg1MGE3N2U4MTFhOTViMDAwZDNhZjQ5MjExLTRkNmI4MzUwNThhZTQ2YzNhOTlmNDFkNzRjYzIwMzA5JmVzaWQ9ZmNjY2ZjZWQtYTZjZS1lOTExLWE4MTItMDAwZDNhZjQ2NDg5&amp;K=lxIfPxUbbzE4fdAZyTUsBw" target="_blank">Download the August 2019 stats package.</a></span></p> Wed, 04 Sep 2019 15:24:13 GMT https://angelelabbe.com/blog.html/metro-vancouver-housing-market-sees-summer-uptick-in-sales-6771455 2019-09-04T15:24:13Z https://angelelabbe.com/blog.html/open-house-open-house-on-saturday-august-31-2019-230pm---400pm-6756051 <div class='listing-blog-post listing-region-GV listing-reb-FV-REB listing-type-openhouse'><div class='listing-banner listing-banner-OPEN-HOUSE' style='background-color: #1f993b' data-banner='OPEN HOUSE' ></div> <div style="margin-top: 10px"> Please visit our Open House at 309 2520 MANITOBA ST in Vancouver. <div class="listing-details-link-section"> <a href="https://angelelabbe.com/309-2520-MANITOBA-Street-Vancouver-mylistings-90191676.property">See details here</a> </div> </div> <div> <div class="listing-open-house-text-section"> Open House on Saturday, August 31, 2019 2:30PM - 4:00PM </div> </div> <div> <div class="listing-description-section"> 2 Bedroom + Flex at VUE in Mount Pleasant!
