Westside Vancouver Detached Property Market Update : July 20th – July 27th

Market Reports, Susan's Blog, Westside / No Comments

We would like to present ‘Westside Detached Stat Package’ for the week of July 20th – July 27th.

The Westside detached market continued to demonstrate a fairly static market dynamic this past week, as new listing and sales figures remained quite close to what we have to come identify as ‘norms’ over the first two quarters of 2009; new listings moved from 66 new detached active listings in the Vancouver West Region to 77 (a return to the level we’ve come to expect through the second quarter) – sales transactions saw a bit of a bump this past week with 60 detached sales (to 43 the previous week).  Not surprisingly, performance should remain relatively static through third quarter 2009 prior to a pre-Olympic surge in the late fourth quarter flowing into Q1 2010.   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 77 new detached active listings on the Westside were distributed as follows:

Arbutus (AR) : 6
Cambie (CA) : 7
Dunbar (DU) : 7
Kerrisdale (KE) : 6
Kitsilano (KT) : 4
MacKenzie Heights (MH) : 1
Marpole (MR) : 4
Oakridge (OA) : 3
Point Grey (PG) : 5
Quilchena (QU) : 3
Shaughnessy (SH) : 9
South Cambie (SC) : 1
South Granville (SG) : 12
Southlands (SL) : 4
University (UL) : 5

77 total new detached listings on the Westside from July 20th – July 27th.

This past week there were 60 detached sold listings (static compared to the 43 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 60 detached sold listings on the Westside were distributed as follows:

Arbutus (AR) : 5
Cambie (CA) : 5
Dunbar (DU) : 13
Kerrisdale (KE) : 2
Kitsilano (KT) : 4
Mackenzie Heights (MH) : 3
Marpole (MR) : 2
Oakridge (OA) : 2
Point Grey (PG) : 3
Quilchena (QU) : 1

South Cambie (SC) : 1
South Granville (SG) : 9
Shaughnessy (SH) : 5
Southlands (SL) : 2
S.W. Marine (SW) : 1
University (UL) : 2

60 total detached sales on the Westside from July 20th – July 27th.

The Westside demonstated some moderate, unexpected growth on both the sales transaction and listing supply sides to end July.  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.

Westside Vancouver Attached Property Market Update : July 20th – July 27th

Posted by skeevil on July 30, 2009
Market Reports, Susan's Blog, Westside / No Comments

We would like to present our  ‘Westside Attached Stat Package‘, for the week of  July 20th – July 27th.  New listing numbers remained relatively flat; though quite steady, as we saw 86 new attached listings on the Westside this period;  up a bit from the 76 new attached listings the previous week (a second consecutive week of positive supply increases).  Sales transactions also continued to demonstrate short-run growth, with 86 attached sales on the Westside (up from 67 the previous week).  The second quarter in 2009 was marked by a return to stability in many of the Westside neighbourhoods, with a solid sales versus listing dynamic.  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 221 new active attached listings in the Vancouver West Region with 96 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.

The 96 new active attached listings on the Westside were distributed as follows:

Marpole (MR) : 2
Mount Pleasant (MP) : 1
Kitsilano (KT): 32
Kerrisdale (KE): 9
False Creek (FC) : 2
Fairview (FA) : 24
Cambie (CA) : 4
Arbutus (AR) : 1

The Westisde neighbourhoods accounted for 96 : 221 or 43% of overall Vancouver West attached new listings from July 20th – July 27th.

This past week there were 176 sold attached listings in the Vancouver West Region with 86 (up from 67 last week) falling in the Westside neighbourhoods. 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.

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

Arbutus (AR) : 8
Cambie (CA) : 3

This past week there were 43 detached sold listings (static compared to the 48 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.

University (UL) : 5

43 total detached sales on the Westside from July 13th – July 20th.

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  July 13th – July 20th.  New listing numbers remained below seasonal norms; though quite steady, as we saw 76 new attached listings on the Westside this period;  up a bit from the 63 new attached listings the previous week (this marks a break in the downward trend we had seen over the previous 3 weeks).  Sales transactions also finally stabilized after three straight negative weeks, with 67 attached sales on the Westside (up from 61 the previous week).  Supply of attached product has continued to tighten on the Westside, following the detached market where the supply-side has seen 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!

Downtown Vancouver Attached Property Market Update : July 6th – July 13th

We have compiled sales and listings statistics for the period running from July 6th to July 13th, 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 we continued to relative decline into the mid and late summer market, as both transaction volume and new listing supply was down for the second consecutive week; with 188 new listings (down from 193 new listings the previous week), and 139 attached sales (down slightly from the 176 sales the previous week). The supply-side remains tight in many downtown markets, especially for mid-grade property in the $350,000 – $550,000 range; with a focus on 2-bedrooms valued at under the $600,000 mark.

Listing versus Sales update for June 6th to July 13th

188
new listings in the Vancouver West Region with 63 (34%) falling in the downtown areas (including: West End, Downtown, Coal Harbour, and False Creek North sub-areas).

New Listings Per Sub-Area:

TOTAL : 125

139 total sales in the Vancouver West Region with 78 (56%) falling in the downtown areas.

Sales Per Sub-Area:

TOTAL : 78

Sales volume fell for the third straight week, moving from 176 sales to 139 attached sales. The downtown core neighbourhoods witnessed the most drastic decrease in transactions as we ease into the mid-Summer months; a period where Vancouver tends to experience 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 relatively stable this past week sitting at [139 : 188] ’sales to listings’ or 74% saturation – interest rates looks to remain stable through the next quarter, and economic conditions appear to have a hit a bit of a flat-line after a commodity based surge in late June.

If you have any questions about specific figures or activity in your neighbourhood please do not hesitate to give us a call! And remember to visit www.vancouverrealtyonline.com for up to date statistics, new listings, and all relevant real estate news!
