Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver Reports Month over Month Gains
Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver
Detached Market
The detached market is up approximately $266,000 since the January lows. After such a short period of time, it is a bit surprising as buyers are back in full force.
Over the past 2 months, a few places jumped quite a bit that caused the average sale price to soar. Two areas that saw significant growth were Bowen Island and Pitt Meadows
- Bowen Island up 54.9% – not sustainable but plays into the average sale prices
- Pitt meadows increase over $300,000 month over month ( not sustainable)
Only 6% off the market peak from April 2022, the detached market is coming back. Certainly a rebound is what we are seeing but will it be a long term trend. Of the 20 markets in the Greater Vancouver area, 12 increased month over month and large surge occurred in a few places
Inventory – still a limited supply, great time for Sellers to list.
List to Sell Ratio- 23% – Sellers Market

CONDO Market
Overall inventory is doing better than detached market. Out of the 19 areas sales increased in all 19 from March from February. The overall list to sell ratio is 36%. According to the REBGV when the list to sell ratio is above 20% it is considered a sellers market.
Demand is there as buyer continue to try and get into the market. Investors have also started to come into play purchasing properties with good ‘return on investment (ROI). It is a bit of a mystery with higher interest rates we continue to see demand rising.
