September Market Update - Dirks Real Estate
Mike Dirks • October 5, 2022
Vancouver real estate continues to see historically slow sales but home prices are slow to respond.
Key Facts
- home sales in the region totalled 1,687 in September 2022, a 46.4 % decrease from the 3,149 sales recorded in September 2021
- There were 4,229 newly listed properties for sale in September 2022. This represents an 18.2 % decrease compared to the 5,171 homes listed in September 2021
- Sales-to-active listings ratio by property type is 12.4 % for detached homes, 18.4 % for townhomes, and 20.9 % for apartments.
- Detached home benchmark is $1,906,400. This represents a 3.8 % increase from September 2021 and a 2.4 % decrease compared to August 2022
- Condo benchmark is $728,500. This represents a 6.2% increase from September 2021 and a 1.6 % decrease compared to August 2022.
- Townhome benchmark is $1,048,900. This represents a 9.1 % increase from September 2021 and a 1.9 % decrease compared to August 2022.
Considerations
- End of Oct. Interest rate hike
- Affordability continues to worsen as lending becomes more expensive but the decline in home prices is stubbornly slow, widening the gap between buyers and sellers expectations
- Besides 2008, 2012, 2018, this September has the seen the least amount of sales for this month in 30 years.
- Moderate increase in listings provides more options for buyers which may increase sales slightly but only time will tell
