Home prices across Metro Vancouver’s housing market showed modest increases in March, while new listings remained below long-term historical averages. March data also indicates home sales are making a stronger than expected spring showing so far, despite elevated borrowing costs.
 
 
Home sales totaled 2,535 that is a 43% decrease compared to March 2022 and  28% below the 10-year March sale average. 
 
If home sellers remain on the sidelines, monthly MLS® sales figures will continue to appear lower than historical averages as we move toward summer. But it’s important to recognize the chicken-and-egg nature of these statistics. The number of sales in any given month is partially determined by the number of homes that come to market that month, along with the inventory of unsold homes listed in previous months. With fewer homes coming on the market, home sales will remain lower than we’re accustomed to seeing at this point in the year.

New listing activity remains among the lowest in recent history and sales are struggling to hit typical levels for this point in the year.
 
 
Home sales totaled 1,808 that is a 47% decrease compared to February 2022 and a 77% increase compared to January 2023.

While we continue to expect home price trends to show year-over-year declines for a few more months, current data and market activity suggest pricing is firming up. In fact, some leading indicators suggest we may see modest price increases this spring, particularly if sales activity increases and mortgage rates hold steady.

Inventory remains low in Metro Vancouver while home sales dipped well below monthly historical averages in January.


Home sales totaled 1,022 that is a 55% decrease compared to January 2022 and a 21% decrease compared to December 2022.


Due to seasonality, market activity is quieter in January. With mortgage rates having risen so rapidly over the last year, we anticipated sales this month would be among the lowest in recent history. Looking forward, however, the Bank of Canada has said that it will pause further rate increases as long as the incoming economic data continues to support this policy stance. This should provide more certainty for home buyers and sellers in the market.
