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

The Westside Detached market posted low-to-average listing and sales figures for the second consecutive week after posting gains during the first two weeks of October.  Supply numbers continued to trend downwards, moving to 52 new detached active listings in the Vancouver West Region;  down from 55 the previous week. Confirmed sales transactions maintained their Quarter 4 2009 average pace; we saw 46 detached sales (down from the 47 the previous week).  Not surprisingly, sales performance should remain stable 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.  Sharp pricing and the advice of a Realtor remains paramount, however; as over-priced listings tend to struggle in today’s market conditions, with well-priced product moving quite quickly.

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.

New listing supply fell back down to quarterly averages after posting higher-then-average gains through early-October, well sales transactions continued along what we’ve come to identify as ‘average’ through the early Fall periods.   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.
