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
