Downtown Vancouver Attached Property Market Update : June 28 - July 5

We have compiled sales and listings statistics for the period running from June 28th through July 5th, 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.

Attached listing activity trended downwards in the downtown markets after posting aggressive numbers for much of the second quarter 2010; we saw 104 new attached listings downtown (compared to an average of 130-150 new attached listings in the previous month).  False Creek North and Coal Harbour posted the lowest supply numbers with 7 and 11 new attached listings in each neighbourhood well the downtown core continued to remain relatively stable with 65 new attached listings.  The downtown neighbourhoods accounted for 104 of 176 new attached listings across Vancouver West or roughly 59% of total new attached supply.

Confirmed sales remained quite stable this past week as we moved closer towards demand and supply equilibrium (though the Westside remains a more competitive attached market); we saw 63 confirmed attached sales downtown this weekend (within the mean range we've seen over the past month from 60-75 sales). Coal Harbour posted the lowest sales activity with just 1 confirmed attached sale well the downtown core had the greatest inconsistency between listing and sales activity with just 34 confirmed sales to 65 new attached listings or a 52% saturation rate.

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!
