Historically the summer is slower than usual in real estate activity. This past month we have experienced a higher volume than normal in residential sales.
The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential home sales in the region totalled 3,128 in July 2020, a 22.3 percent increase from the 2,443 sales recorded in July 2019, and a 9.4 percent above the 10-year July sales average.
The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,031,400, which represent 4.5% increase from July 2019.
As the market is very active our goal remains to keep the public safety top of mind during COVID-19. We have managed to address it by implementing showing protocols in place such as protective equipment & pre-qualify the viewings by providing a 3D matterport tour to ensure better exposure online.
Along with historically low mortgage rates and better consumers confidence we project a busy fall market to come.
