Vancouver Housing Market Analysis for October 2008
November 6th, 2008 Categories: Vancouver Housing Market, Vancouver Real Estate
The REBGV reports that Greater Vancouver housing price reductions across Greater Vancouver over the last six months have eliminated price gains witnessed in the first quarter of 2008. October was the slowest month of the year for sales. Active listings were down and the median price is down from September 2008 . Active listings 1% higher in October, over a year ago. Average price for October versus September 2008 went UP (+04%).
Residential benchmark prices, as calculated by the MLSLink Housing Price Index, declined 8.8% between May and October 2008, resulting in a 3.9% year to date price reduction for detached, attached and apartment properties in Greater Vancouver between October 2007 and 2008. In May 2008 the overall residential benchmark price was $568,411, compared to $518,668 in October 2008.
”Home sales are not keeping pace with the positive economic conditions in BC”, said REBGV president Dave Watt.” That’s a direct result of a loss of consumer confidence in the overall market. Accordingly, today’s housing market is characterized by moderating home prices and wide selection. It’s definitely a buyer’s market.
Residential property sales in Greater Vancouver declined 55% in October’08 to 1,364 from 3,028 sales recorded in October’07. Read the rest of this entry »
