The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales in the region increased 6.3% to 3,326 this July from 3,128 sales in July 2020. This is a 11.6% decrease from the 3762 homes sold in June 2021.

The total number of properties currently offered on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 9,850 down 18.5% from 12,083 in July 2020 and down 9.1% from 10,839 last month.

For all property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for July 2021 is 33.8%.
Downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below the 12% mark for a sustained period, while upward pressure occurs when it surpasses 20% over several months.

Supply peaked in June and demand has slowed every month since March so prices have softened, however unique & sharply priced homes are still receiving multiple offers with prices over the ask.

There remains a high level of optimism regarding real estate but the westside remains under supplied and current prices are good value.

Be kind and be careful 💝🍬🍫 !

Enjoy the rest of the summer! 😎🎎🎏
