| Market Statistics for June 2012 |
|
I've used the same format to share stats for a year now, and feel it's time for something completely different. Plus, a number of you have been asking me for market trend info
(ask and ye shall receive!)
The two reports below show trends in average sale price, inventory (active listings), and units sold - by City and by housing type (detached or attached, aka apartments & townhomes). They also show inventory & sales by price band and by sub-areas within each City. Buyers want to know what areas have lots of inventory to choose from, and sellers are keen to know which areas are hot spots where listings sell, and sell fast.
For Vancouver (Downtown, Westside, Eastside), West Vancouver, North Vancouver, and Richmond, click here
For Burnaby, Coquitlam, New West, PoCo, Pitt Meadows, and Maple Ridge, click here
(Fraser Valley reports not available yet, so sorry)
You can still view the June stats packages from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board on my website at How's the Market? Both real estate boards indicate that we're trending to a buyer's market. |

I became a REALTOR® because I love working with people and helping them achieve their goals: If you know someone who is thinking of buying or selling, I'd be happy to meet with them & chat about how I could out. Even if they're just testing the waters. I promise to take good care of them.
Keep the sunscreen handy - the 14 day forecast looks promising!
