August 2021 Market Update Price Decrease
August 2021 Market Update Price Decrease over the Summer across Metro Vancouver
From September 2, 2021, Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver
While home buyers have remained active in Metro Vancouver* throughout the summer, the supply of homes for sale has declined steadily since June.
The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential home sales in the region totalled 3,152 in August 2021, a 3.4 per cent increase from the 3,047 sales recorded in August 2020. A 5.2 per cent decrease from the 3,326 homes sold in July 2021.
Last month’s sales were 20.4 per cent above the 10-year August sales average.
“August was busier than expected, and listings activity isn’t keeping up with the pace of demand. This is leaving the market under supplied.” said Keith Stewart, REBGV economist. There were 4,032 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in August 2021. This represents a 30.6 per cent decrease compared to the 5,813 homes listed in August 2020 and a 7.9 per cent decrease compared to July 2021 when 4,377 homes were listed…..For the complete report got to REBGV-Stats-Pkg-August-2021
