East Vancouver Detached House Market Update for October 2015
The East Vancouver house market had a very slight increase in listings and an 18% decrease in sales over August. Compared to 2014, this September had 17% fewer listings and 16% fewer sales. The sales to active ratio was around 30%, which is still a Seller’s market, but far from the 55% sales to active that we were seeing a few months ago. Of the detached house sales in September, only a small handful of them were newer builds, which shows that small scale Developer’s have their eye on building multi-unit complexes rather than single family houses. The $1-million to $1.25-million price bracket had a 53% sales to active ratio which was by far the most active price point in the East Vancouver detached house market.
This market is still the most active real estate market in Vancouver. If you’re looking for a detached home, you have to stay on top of the new listings, see them at the previews on Thursday, or at the weekend open houses and be ready to write an offer soon after. If you’re not already working with an agent – contact us! You need strong representation in this market.
