We would like to present ‘Westside Detached Stat Package’ for the week of September 21st – September 28th.

The Westside Detached market saw a continual firming up of sales conditions as confirmed sales volume demonstrated positive growth for the second straight period after three weeks of below average performance to end August and begin September.  Supply numbers improved slightly, moving to 90 new detached active listings in the Vancouver West Region;  up from 80 the previous week. We saw 58 detached sales (up from the 50 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 especially active in Kitsilano, Dunbar, and Point Grey.  As such, it may be a solid time to consider listing your home if you have been thinking about proceeding with a sale.   Supply conditions in Kitsilano, Dunbar, and South Granville was quite active this past week as market stability returns.

New listing supply ended on a relatively strong note, well sales transactions trended upwards after struggling through early September.  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 relatively stable market through October prior to a resurgence in the Fall which should carry us through Quarter 4 2009 and the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
