Vancouver’s Downtown real estate analysis in May saw listings up again and higher than any month since Jan 2008 and double what they were a year ago! Sales were less than in April but higher than May’09 and the second worst month of this year after February. The hottest price range was $300,000-$400,000 and the slowest was between $700k & $1M. A big jump in the listings over $1M. Average days on the market steady at 33, and average $psf down to $617 and the second lowest for the year, after February and equal to Sept’09 and Feb’08. Sale price to list price ratio steady at 98%. Supply up to 6.5 months and the highest since Jan’09. Now a good buyer’s market.
