Downtown Vancouver Attached Property Market Update : July 12 - July 19

We have compiled sales and listings statistics for the period running from July 12th through July 19th, 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.

Supply conditions continued to tighten in the downtown markets with 89 new attached listings this past week (compared to 118 attached listings downtown in the previous period).  As a whole Vancouver West attached supply trended downwards after posting a slight recovery in the previous week with 172 new attached listings (down from 209 new attached listings in the previous week).  Entry level downtown conditions remained very tight as sub-$500,000 properties continued to move with regularity and relatively low days on the market numbers.  The luxury markets continued to provide potential buyers with more options as supply conditions remained relatively loose as we saw 14 new attached listings in Coal Harbour to 6 confirmed sales in the neighbourhood.

Confirmed sales volume remained stable this past week; giving sellers a little breathing room with dropping supply numbers.  Across Vancouver West we saw 108 confirmed attached sales (down marginally from the 118 confirmed sales we saw in the previous week); the downtown markets accounted for only a small percentage of the decrease with 68 confirmed attached sales this past week (down very slightly from the 70 confirmed sales in the previous period).  The downtown core remained the busiest market (due to density) with 29 confirmed sales; though False Creek North also continued to post strong numbers with 18 confirmed attached transactionsCoal Harbour continued to struggle on the sales side with just 6 confirmed attached sales this past week.

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!
