    Sales up 16% From This Time Last Year

    August is typically a slow month for real estate with people (and their realtors) away on holidays and families getting ready for school. That in mind, it's not surprising that overall sales were down 12.7% from July. What was surprising to some was that sales were up 15.7% from where they were the same month last year. The ratio of sales-to-active listings is also looking stronger at 16.7 per cent for all property types (12% for detached homes, 18.4% for townhomes and 21.2

    The Latest Real Estate Statistics - March 2019

    As you may have heard, this March was the slowest in terms of sales in three decades. That said, March did have some good news for first time home buyers thanks to newly released incentives in the federal budget. The hope is that these changes, in combination with decreasing mortgage rates, will enable more people to afford a home and perhaps bolster the stalled market. Below is the market summary provided by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver covering the sales activ

    September's Vancouver Real Estate Trends

    The latest real estate statistics are out for September. As most buyers and sellers are aware, housing demand is decreasing and overall prices are softening with this.
