Metro Vancouver real estate hasn\u2019t exactly started the new year like a house on fire.
\n“From a real estate perspective, it\u2019s a lukewarm start to the year compared to 2016,” said Dan Morrison, the president of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV).
\nThat\u2019s creating some opportunities for buyers who had decided to step aside from last spring\u2019s market madness<\/a>.
\nIn fact, prices for detached homes have declined about seven per cent since July<\/a>, said Morrison. \u201cConditions with the market vary depending on property type. The townhome and condominium markets are more active than the detached market at the moment.\u201d
\nThat\u2019s been our experience. Townhomes and condos are selling quickly. Some are commanding offers greater than their listed price. Detached houses are staying on the market longer.
\nTrue to form, sellers are waking from their usual December doldrums. New listings of detached homes, townhomes and condos increased 215.5 per cent over the end of 2016. There were 4,140 new listings in January, but only 1,312 in December.
\nOverall, there are 7,238 homes currently listed for sale in Metro Vancouver, 9.1 per cent more than a year ago.
\nSales of detached homes in January were down 57.6 per cent from a year ago. Condo sales dipped 24.7 per cent and townhouse sales went down 32.4 per cent.
\nThat\u2019s helped nudge the ratio of sales to active listings to 21 per cent, the lowest since January, 2015. Analysts say housing prices start to feel downward pressure when the ratio goes below 12 per cent for a sustained period.<\/p>\n
