In April, the number of homes actively listed for sale on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver surged by 42% compared to the previous year, surpassing the 12,000 mark. This level of inventory hasn't been observed in the region since the summer of 2020.

Detached Home Sales- In April 2024, sales of detached homes reached 814, marking a 0.7% increase from the 808 detached sales recorded in April 2023. The benchmark price for a detached home is $2,040,000.

Despite expectations of a rapid increase following the Bank of Canada's aggressive rate hikes, inventory has steadily climbed in recent data. The surprise for many has been the ongoing demand strength and the limited number of homeowners forced to sell despite the highest borrowing costs in over a decade.

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.

ABOUT ANNA LITVAK JOSEPH

Although Metro Vancouver home sellers displayed some caution in January, the market saw a notable increase in new listings with a 31% year-over-year rise in February. This influx brought a substantial number of recently listed properties to the market. 

Detached Home Sales: In February 2024, sales of detached homes totaled 560, marking an 8.3% increase from the 517 detached sales recorded in February 2023.The benchmark price for a detached home in this period stands at $1,972,400.

Apartment Home Sales: In February 2024, apartment home sales amounted to 1,092, reflecting a 17.7% increase compared to the 928 sales recorded in February 2023. The benchmark price for an apartment home during this period is $770,700.

Attached Home Sales: In February 2024, sales of attached homes reached 403, marking a 10.1% increase compared to the 366 sales recorded in February 2023. The benchmark price for a townhouse during this period stands at $1,094,700.

According to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV), even with the increase in new listings, the current inventory levels failed to keep up with the pace of sales, leading to continued price acceleration in February. Consequently, most segments of the market shifted into sellers' market. The competitive dynamics have resulted in moderate price growth across all market segments this month. However, it's worth noting that benchmark prices are still below the peak observed in the spring of 2022, before the market fully internalized the impact of the Bank of Canada's tightening cycle.

ABOUT ANNA LITVAK JOSEPH

The conclusion of 2023 witnessed Metro Vancouver's housing market maintaining balanced conditions. However, behind the year-end totals lies a narrative of unexpected resilience, overcoming the challenges posed by the highest borrowing costs experienced in over a decade.

In 2023, the total number of properties listed on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver amounted to 50,893, indicating a 7.5 percent decline compared to the 55,047 properties listed in 2022.

The sales of detached homes in December 2023 totaled 376, marking a 1.3% uptick from the 371 detached sales recorded in December 2022. The benchmark price for a detached home stands at $1,964,400, indicating a 7.7% rise from December 2022 and a 0.9% decline compared to November 2023.

The sales of apartments in December 2023 reached 719, reflecting a 2.4% increase compared to the 702 sales recorded in December 2022. The benchmark price for an apartment home is $751,300, marking a 5.6% increase from December 2022 and a 1.5% decrease compared to November 2023.

The sales of attached homes in December 2023 reached 238, indicating a 7.2% increase compared to the 222 sales in December 2022. The benchmark price for a townhouse is $1,072,700, reflecting a 6.4% increase from December 2022 and a 1.8% decrease compared to November 2023.

Reflecting on the year, one cannot help but ponder the potential outcome of closing out 2023 if mortgage rates had been a few percentage points lower. The prospect of gaining insights into this question seems promising for 2024, as bond markets and expert forecasters anticipate a likelihood of lower borrowing costs. Modest rate cuts are expected in the first half of the 2024.

This suggests that more properties became available for sale, potentially giving buyers more options.

In September 2023, a total of 5,446 properties, including detached homes, attached homes, and apartment properties, were newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®). This number represents a substantial 28.4 % increase in new listings compared to September 2022, when 4,243 homes were listed for sale.

Keller Williams Elite Realty, Port Coquitlam, B.C.

Here's the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval: during the mortgage application process, you will speak with a lender (or maybe several as you shop around for the best loan options). During your initial conversation, your lender is going to ask you a series of questions about your financial situation. During that conversation, they will let you know approximately how much mortgage they think that you'll qualify for and what the top of your price range should be during the house-hunting process. This is your pre-qualification, not pre-approval.

Your pre-approval will take place once your lender runs your credit score, checks bank statements, verifies employment and reviews proof of assets or investments (every situation is a little bit different). It is important to know the distinction because unless you have an official pre-approval letter signed by your lender in-hand, you are not pre-approved.

In this competitive market, it's crucial to submit a pre-approval letter with your offer and the last thing I would want is for you to miss out on your home because of a little confusion. If you are ready to get pre-qualified or pre-approved, just DM me and I'll refer you to one of my lender partners for initial conversation.
