We would like to present ‘Westside Detached Stat Package’ for the week of June 15th – June 22nd.

The Westside detached market continued to perform fairly statically through the first quarter of 2009; with quite a flat supply and demand dynamic.  New listings moved from 70 new detached active listings in the Vancouver West Region to 76 – sales transactions tailed off slightly with 51 detached sales.  We expect a further seasonal slowdown during the mid-Summer months prior to a resurgence in Quarter 4 2009.   Buyer competition remains active in these areas, and thus it may be a solid time to consider listing your home if you have been thinking about proceeding with a sale.   The demand is especially acute in Kitsilano where supply has definitely tailed off – especially in the Kits Point areas, and other sectors north of W 4th Ave.

Please note if your neighbourhood is not included in the weekly list it indicates there were zero (0) new listings in your area for that period.

The 76 new detached active listings on the Westside were distributed as follows:

Arbutus (AR) : 4
Cambie (CA) : 4
Dunbar (DU) : 12
Kerrisdale (KE) : 5
Kitsilano (KT) : 4

76 total new detached listings on the Westside from June 15th – June 22nd.

This past week there were 51 detached sold listings (down slight from the 60 sold listings the previous week) in the Vancouver West Region. Please note if your neighbourhood is not included in the weekly list it indicates there were zero (0) sales in your area for that period.

The Westside has slowed down marginally over the past couple of weeks as well-priced product has moved with little in the way of new supply to counter-act the sales volume.  In addition, the mid-to-late Summer months tend to be particularly low-periods for the detached markets due to social factors (ie / summer vacation, etc.) and thus we anticipate a further flattening of the market over July and August prior to a resurgence in the early-Fall which should carry us through Quarter 4 2009 and the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.

We would like to present our  ‘Westside Attached Stat Package‘, for the week of  June 15th – 22nd.  New listing numbers peaked slightly this past week as we witnessed a marginal decline in new listing activity.  We saw 80 new attached listings on the Westside this period; down very slightly from the 86 new attached listings the previous week.  Sales transactions, conversely; showed renewed strength with 110  attached sales on the Westside (up from 75 the previous week).  Supply of attached product has continued to tighten on the Westside, following the detached market where the supply-side has seen historic lows since around mid-March.  We have witnessed a return of the international buyer with a number of individuals from the USA and Asia looking to take advantage of the pre-Olympic lull in pricing, and competitive financing options.  As per usual we expect a slight seasonal lull through the late-Summer months as people begin to take vacations, and enjoy the weather!

This past week there were 191 new active attached listings in the Vancouver West Region with 80 falling in the Westside neighbourhoods. Please note if your neighbourhood is not included in the weekly list it indicates there were zero (0) new listings in your area for that period.

We have compiled sales and listings statistics for the period running from June 15th to June 22nd, 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.  This past week (and the month of May in general) was marked by an increase in market activity (both listings and sales) as well as a further demonstration of market stability and equilibrium; with 191 new listings (down slightly from 207 new listings the previous week), and 217 attached sales. US and foreign buyer activity has been increasing recently as we have been working with numerous buyers out of California, Florida, and China with more coming in daily interested in Canada’s insulated banking system, competitive financing options, and relatively low Vancouver prices.  Many lenders and mortgage specialists have been predicting (quite rightly) a forthcoming increase in lending rates as our economy begins its recovery.  As expected we will most likely see the typical seasonal lull that occurs through July and August prior to the market picking itself up again in the early fall months.

Listing versus Sales update for June 15th – June 22nd

191 new listings in the Vancouver West Region with 111 (58%) falling in the downtown areas (including: West End, Downtown, Coal Harbour, and False Creek North sub-areas).

New Listings Per Sub-Area:

• Downtown Core: 55 (49%)
• Coal Harbour: 15 (14%)
• West End: 23 (21%)
• False Creek North: 18 (16%)

TOTAL : 111

217 total sales in the Vancouver West Region with 107 (49%) falling in the downtown areas.

Sales Per Sub-Area:

• Downtown Core: 58 (54%)
• West End: 23 (22%)
• Coal Harbour: 13 (12%)
• False Creek North: 13 (12%)

TOTAL : 107

Sales volume showed renewed vigor and stability this past week, moving from 157 sales to 217. In contrast we saw a slight dip in regards to attached supply; though this was more acute on the Westside then in the downtown markets. We expect stronger sales movement to continue through early-Summer prior to some light seasonal lulls.  As stated previously there has been an influx of buyer activity over the past two months, as more individuals seem to be looking at price depreciation and favorable mortgage conditions. The sales to listing ratio also remained strong this past week sitting at [217 : 191] ‘sales to listings’ or 114% saturation – stronger market fundamentals, a return to supply / demand equilibrium, and an influx of buyer activity has been leading our recovery period!
