Metro Vancouver\u2019s housing market sees fewer home buyers and <\/strong>sellers in August<\/strong><\/p>\n

VANCOUVER, BC \u2013 September 2, 2022 \u2013 Metro Vancouver\u2019s* housing market is experiencing a quieter summer season marked by reduced sale and listing activity.<\/p>\n

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential home sales in the region totalled 1,870 in August 2022, a 40.7% decrease from the 3,152 sales recorded in August 2021, and a 0.9% decrease from the 1,887 homes sold in July 2022.<\/p>\n

Last month\u2019s sales were 29.2% below the 10-year August sales average. \u201cWith inflationary pressure and interest rates on the rise, home buyer and seller activity shifted below our long-term seasonal averages this summer,\u201d Andrew Lis, REBGV\u2019s director, economics and data analytics said. \u201cThis shift in market conditions caused prices to edge down over the past four months.\u201d<\/p>\n

There were 3,328 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service\u00ae (MLS\u00ae) in Metro Vancouver in August 2022. This represents a 17.5% decrease compared to the 4,032 homes listed in August 2021 and a 16% decrease compared to July 2022 when 3,960 homes were listed.<\/p>\n

The total number of homes currently listed for sale on the MLS\u00ae system in Metro Vancouver is 9,662, a 7.3% increase compared to August 2021 (9,005) and a 6.1% decrease compared to July 2022 (10,288).<\/p>\n

\u201cHome buyers and sellers are taking more time to assess what this changing landscape means for their housing needs,\u201d Lis said. \u201cPreparation is critical in today\u2019s market. Work with your Realtor to assess what today\u2019s home prices, financing options, and other considerations mean for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

For all property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for August 2022 is 19.4%. By property type, the ratio is 12.2% for detached homes, 25.3% for townhomes, and 24.8% for apartments.<\/p>\n

Generally, analysts say downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below 12% for a sustained period, while home prices often experience upward pressure when it surpasses 20% over several months.<\/p>\n

The MLS\u00ae Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,180,500. This represents a 7.4% increase over August 2021 and a 2.2% decrease compared to July 2022.<\/p>\n

Sales of detached homes in August 2022 reached 517, a 45.3% decrease from the 945 detached sales recorded in August 2021. The benchmark price for a detached home is $1,954,100. This represents a 7.9% increase from August 2021 and a 2.3% decrease compared to July 2022.<\/p>\n

Sales of apartment homes reached 998 in August 2022, a 38.8% decrease compared to the 1,631 sales in August 2021. The benchmark price of an apartment home is $740,100. This represents an 8.7% increase from August 2021 and a two% decrease compared to July 2022.<\/p>\n

Attached home sales in August 2022 totalled 355, a 38.4% decrease compared to the 576 sales in August 2021. The benchmark price of an attached home is $1,069,100. This represents a 12.7& increase from August 2021 and a 2.5% decrease compared to July 2022.<\/p>\n
