If you’re feeling like summer went ahead and flew by, you wouldn’t be the only one. As the season winds to a close, the Metro Vancouver residential market* follows along its typical seasonal pattern where we begin to see sales starting to slow.
Residential Home Sales
The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reported that residential home sales^ in the region totalled 2,296 last month, up 21.4% from the 1,892 sales recorded in the same month last year. Still, this figure sits 13.8% below the 10-year seasonal average of 2,663.
