EAST VANCOUVER TOWNHOME AND HALF DUPLEX MARKET UPDATE
The East Van townhouse and half duplex market had a 32% sales to active ratio with lots of activity at the $300k to $600k level and the $700k to $800k level.
Prices in the townhouse and half duplex market have increased as well – currently the median sits at $792,500 while the average is $746,963, which are a 19% and 13.5% increase over last year. Some of the increase is the influx of newer and larger half duplexes bringing up the price point, while the other aspect of the increase is the rising market thanks to Vancouver’s shortage of family sized homes and detached properties getting further and further out of reach for many people. Take a look at this graph showing the trend in average prices over the last few years, with the biggest increase happening this year.
