Market Snapshot

 

Westside, 10 year average sales are down 6% for detached homes and 19% for apartments while townhomes are up 19% from the 10 year average.

Westside supply is higher across all segments, up 5% for detached, 14% for apartments, and 59% for townhomes.

 

Year over year, Westside detached sales increased to 74 (up 10%), apartments declined to 269 (down 4%), and attached homes increased slightly to 70 (up 1.4%).

Attached homes average $1.745M, down 7% from the 2024 peak.

Apartments average $951K, down 21% from the 2018 peak.

 

Market Balance

The sales to active listings ratio shows:

  •  Detached at 10% (buyers’ market)
  •  Attached at 14.4% (balanced market)
  • Apartments at 15.2% (balanced market)

 

 The Sales to Active Listings ratio (SALR) is a key indicator of market balance and it helps determine whether the market favours Buyers or Sellers. The range between 12% and 20% is considered a balanced market and prices are sustained.

 

Downward pressure on home prices occurs when the SAL ratio dips below 12% for a period of time. Upward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio trends up and particularly when it surpasses 20% over several months.

 

Currently the SAL ratio for westside detached homes is 10% allowing prices to decline. The SAL ratio for attached homes is rising at 14%, barely sustaining prices and the SAL ratio for apartments is level at 15%, balanced market territory, which is allowing prices to recover slightly.

 

Outlook

Westside detached homes continue to offer solid value. Buyers are competing for updated homes in move in condition. Demand is flat in June while prices remain low, suggesting good value and an opportunity for buyers.

 

Apartment supply is down, but demand is down as well, keeping prices from running up. Fewer new strata projects are coming to market as incentives favour rental construction. This should increase rental supply, though rents may need to adjust to attract tenants. Limited for sale inventory is helping support pricing on lower sales volumes.

 

Westside Townhouse supply is up 10% over last year and 30% over June 2024 but demand is up as well which is keeping prices steady. Many attractive half duplex and Multi development units are now on the market giving buyers more options.

 

Affordability remains a key driver. Buyers are focused on well priced homes that offer real value, with less emphasis on speculation. Builders are buying land value properties for conversion to new multi, duplex and single family homes with suites & laneway homes. Sellers who need to move are adjusting pricing to meet the market and selling within 3 weeks.


Buyer Takeaways

  • This is still a buyers' market and a good opportunity to get into the market or to move up. We expect the market to remain steady and to possibly slow a bit into the summer.


Seller Takeaways

  • Be the best value in your category
  • Price strategically from the start
  • Prepare the home properly: address repairs, declutter and clean, clean, clean!
