  • Vancouver Condo Prices Continue Climbing in July/17

    Author: Anoop Majithia Date: August 1, 2017

    As per the recently released REBGV report:

    The benchmark price of an apartment property is now $616,600. This represents an 18.5% increase from July 2016 and a 2.7% increase compared to June 2017.

    Sales of apartment properties reached 1,468 in July 2017, a decrease of 8.4% compared to the 1,602 sales in July 2016.

    For all property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for July 2017 is 32.2%. By property type, the ratio is 16.9% for detached homes, 44.9% for townhomes, and 62% for condominiums.

    Generally, analysts say that downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below the 12% mark for a sustained period, while home prices often experience upward pressure when it surpasses 20% over several months.

    "Housing demand is inconsistent across the region right now. Pockets of the market are still receiving multiple offers and others are not. It depends on price, property type, and location,” Jill Oudil, REBGV president said. "For example, it’s taking twice as long, on average, for a detached home to sell compared to both townhomes and condominiums.”
