Kits condos in June saw listings down, sales down, average $psf, average sold price, sale price to list price ratio all down. Days on market increased from 19 to 27 which is still good. One bedrooms selling the best and 65% of sales under $500,000.  68% of sales under $500k, up from 60% in April and 50% in March.  Supply up to 4.4 months from 1.6 months in dec’09. Average sold price now equal to July’09. Sept’09 was the record highest average sold price. Only 3 months in 2009 had fewer sales than June’10. 12% of the listings expired.

Vancouver reflections – there is too high an inventory and insufficient buyers, even if your property is priced sharply it may not sell. Sellers are now having to make the tough decisions – what to do? Reduce the price, delist the property and if so, is it rentable. The inventory will eventually decrease but its going to take awhile. The market is still quite healthy but squishy.

Listings- 160 - 12 listed under $300,000, 42 listed between $300,000 and $400,000.  44 listings between $400,000 and $500,000 (down from 66 last month) 29 listings between $500,000 and $600,000 and 17 listed between  $600,000 & $700,000, 17 between $700,000 and $1M and 3 listed over $1M.
