Market Statistics -     June 2018

 

The sales for June of 2018 continued the slowing trend of the last few months. Especially hard hit have been single family homes (detached) which experienced sales 28.7% lower than the 10-year-average in Greater Vancouver. We haven't seen sales levels this low since 2012. 

Detached homes have entered "buyer market" territory as the sales-to-active ratio has fallen below 12%. The worst hit areas are West Vancouver (-2.5% since May 2018) and Burnaby North (-2.3% since May 2018). The prices of attached homes (townhouses and condos) are still rising in many areas but the rise is definitely slowing month over month.

The Fraser Valley is no longer experiencing price appreciation in every subarea as in recent months. About 1/3 of the subareas in the condo and townhouse market are seeing percentage drops over last month. 

Here are a few tables to better show what the most recent market statistics are doing.

Note that most of the numbers are going down (red): total sales, % of sales over asking, and percent of asking price. As well, the average days on the market are growing in most categories. (Numbers in blue)

As an example of reading the statistics below:  for one bedroom units in Metro Vancouver, 39 of the 71 sales (55%) were at or above the asking price (100.8% of the asking price, on average) and were on the market for an average of 16 days in the last week of June.

Red numbers means the number is lower than the previous month.
Blue numbers mean that the number is higher than the previous month.
Green numbers mean that the number is the same as last month.

From the REBGV's June Stats: (I've added the text within the brackets)

For all property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for June 2018 is 20.3% (May was 25.1%, April was 26.3%, and March was 30.0%, so the trend is towards a buyer's market). By property type, the ratio is 11.7% for detached homes (May was 14.7%, April was 14.1%, and March was 14.2%), 24.9% for townhomes (May was 30.8%, April was 36.1%, and March was 39.9%), and 33.4% for condominiums (May was 41.7%, April was 46.7%, and March was 61.6%).

Generally, analysts say that downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below the 12 per cent mark for a sustained period, while home prices often experience upward pressure when it surpasses 20 per cent over several months.

Just like last month, June's sales-to-active ratios are all heading the right direction if you are a buyer.
