We would like to present ‘Westside Detached Stat Package’ for the week of July 13th – July 20th.

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 76 new detached active listings in the Vancouver West Region to 66 (a slight decrease to offset our gains over the previous week) – sales transactions also remained steady with 43 detached sales (to 48 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.

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

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.
