Did Vancouver Real Estate really go up 20% in the last year? True or False?
I want show you the Real Market Change Facts.....
So when you hear Vancouver has gone up 20-30-50% in the last year .... that it is only certain markets segments.
Do checkout Homes, Condos and Townhome Markets that are showing very different market changes! Click Here
Here on the first Graph the Year to Date for the Top 50% Single Family Housing Market comparing all cities in both areas, Greater Vancouver with Vancouver Westside and West Vancouver consecutively setting highest price changes.
Meanwhile, in Fraser Valley area, East Surrey showed the most price increase and rest of the cities remains to be Seller's markets!
Yes, the Lower 50% of the SFD(Single Family Detached) Market in fact did go down on average price than the Top 50%.
But please notice that All cities are increasing mainly due to very low listing inventories. We have one of the lowest listing inventories since 2011. This is partially due to the covid infections/lockdowns resulting in many sellers putting plans on hold.
Average Graph :We just hate putting in an average price increase graph because it mixes the Top Cash Buyer Market with the Low End Job / Mortgage Market which are so dramatically different. Today we produce this least accurate market trend indicator because most consumers relate better to average market conditions. Please use the top50% or Lower 50% graphs for MUCH MUCH MORE accurate indications of market changes, trends and forecasts
The Condo Markets
Lets Look at the Top 50% of the Condo Market which for the 3rd time in years have increases exceeding Canada's Inflation Rate (~2%), where all cities showing all positive %% and increasing price changes. It's the second year now showing positive trend; the first one was last year, Dec 2019 to Dec 2020.
Check out that even on Lower 50% of the Condo Market, White Rock, Abbotsford, and Langley-Cloverdale
showed the most price increase on its own areas, Vancouver and Fraser Valley respectively.
The Condo Markethas recovered for the past 3 years because of the Demand but with less supply as only few high rises
currently being developed because of the pandemic.
Average Graph :We just hate putting in an average price increase graph because it mixes the Top Cash Buyer Market with the Low End Job / Mortgage Market which are so dramatically different. Today we produce this least accurate market trend indicator because most consumers relate better to average market conditions. Please use the top50% or Lower 50% graphs for MUCH MUCH MORE accurate indications of market changes, trends and forecasts
The Townhouse Markets
Average Graph :We just hate putting in an average price increase graph because it mixes the Top Cash Buyer Market with the Low End Job / Mortgage Market which are so dramatically different.
