The number of homes listed for sale on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver surged by almost 23% compared to the previous year, presenting increased opportunities for buyers in search of a new home this spring.
Detached Home Sales- In March 2024, sales of detached homes totaled 694, marking a 5.4% decline from the 734 detached sales recorded in March 2023. Concurrently, the benchmark price for a detached home stood at $2,007,900, reflecting a notable 7.4% upturn from March 2023 and a modest 1.8% increase compared to February 2024.
Apartment Home Sales- In March 2024, sales of apartment homes totaled 1,207, indicating a 7.9% decrease compared to the 1,311 sales recorded in March 2023. Meanwhile, the benchmark price of an apartment home stood at $777,500, reflecting a 5.7% increase from March 2023 and a marginal 0.9% rise compared to February 2024.
Attached Home Sales- In March 2024, sales of attached homes reached 495, marking a notable 6.2% increase compared to the 466 sales recorded in March 2023. Additionally, the benchmark price of a townhouse stood at $1,112,800, indicating a 5% escalation from March 2023 and a 1.7% increase compared to February 2024.
Even with the market showing signs of cooling compared to previous years, there are still modest month-over-month price gains ranging from one to two percent at the aggregate level. This trend is notable considering the persistently high borrowing costs. Despite expectations of one or two modest cuts to the Bank of Canada's policy rate in 2024, as indicated by the favorable direction of recent inflation numbers, these adjustments may not necessarily translate into significant improvements in affordability. Consequently, constrained borrowing power is anticipated to continue posing challenges as we transition into the summer months.
