Less than six months ago you would be hard pressed to believe that house prices would be up as much as they are. Yet here we are. It’s clear that competition is heating up between buyers, setting the stage for a busy summer. This is due to the fact that there are more buyers in comparison to the number of willing sellers in the market. So, while inventory still appears low relative to historical data, sales and price are on the rise.
The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) has reported that residential home sales in the region totalled 3,411 in May 2023. This is a 15.7% increase from the 2,947 sales recorded in May 2022, and a 1.4% decline from the 10-year seasonal average (3,458).
