Downtown Vancouver Attached Property Market Update : June 14 - June 21

We have compiled sales and listings statistics for the period running from June 14th through June 21st, and released them in this easy to read format! If you have any further questions or require more detail please get in touch with us.

New attached listing activity remained relatively consistent this past week with 242 new attached listings across Vancouver West; which is within the normal range we've come to expect through the first half of 2010 with an average new listing range of between 230-270 new attached listings per week.  The downtown neighbourhoods accounted for a slightly larger share of new listing volume with 134 new attached listings or roughly 55% of all new attached listing supply across Vancouver West.  Among the downtown neighbourhoods the ratios also stayed quite stable with the downtown core neighbourhoods continuing to post around 50% of listing activity with 67 new attached listings;  the West End was the next busiest listing area with 30 new attached listings, well False Creek North and Coal Harbour were less prevalent with 17 and 20 new attached listings respectively. 

Confirmed sales also maintained a fairly consistent rate this past week with 127 confirmed attached sales across Vancouver West; well the downtown neighbourhoods continue to post higher-average listing numbers they also continue to under-perform on the sales side with 60 confirmed attached sales or roughly 47% of all Vancouver West sales activity. The downtown core neighbourhoods continues to perform at a sales to listing ratio of below 0.5 with 28 confirmed sales : 67 new attached listings.  The West End, Coal Harbour, and False Creek North all posted slightly better sales to listing numbers, but all downtown neighbourhoods remained below full saturation rate (a 1:1 sales to listing ratio). 

In more general economic news Conservative Finance Minister Jim Flaherty continued to bang the 'positive bell' today citing responsible fiscal policies and leading growth rates as solid under-pinnings for a strong long-term Canadian dollar.  Interest rates seem poised to remain stable over the short-term though the rising dollar and possible inflation increases may cause the Fed to look at future hikes in the coming months; contact us for more info!

New listing supply returned to more median levels this past week after jumping slightly in the previous period; we saw 302 new attached listings across Vancouver West (compared to 368 new attached listings in the previous week).  The downtown neighbourhoods accounted for 155 new attached listings or roughly 51% of all new attached listing supply in Vancouver West.  The downtown areas accounted for slighly less-the-average proportions of the new listing supply this past week; falling from the 55% posted in the previous period. Coal Harbour fell back after posting seasonal highs, with 18 new attached listings this past week (compared to 33 attached listings in the previous period). 

Confirmed sales volume also trended downwards this past week after rebounding in the previous period; we saw 145 confirmed attached sales across Vancouver West (down from 173 confirmed attached sales the previous week). The downtown markets accounted for 79 new attached listings or roughly 54% of all Vancouver West attached supply; this number was up from only 49% of all confirmed sales in the previous week, indicating the fall in sales volume was more evident in the Westside markets as downtown took a larger market share of sales volume despite posting lower total numbers.

In other news; interest rates continued to rise with news of additional rate increases in the coming weeks.  Major lenders are targeting shorter-term fixed rate mortgages for interest hikes, but many mortgage brokers have the opportunity to lock clients into lower then average rates for a short period; contact us for more info!
