For sellers, it means your home may face more competition, from other listings, in the marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There were 4,873 detached, attached and apartment homes newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service\u00ae (MLS\u00ae) in Metro Vancouver in October 2018. This represents a 7.4% increase compared to the 4,539 homes listed in October 2017 and a 7.7% decrease compared to September 2018 when 5,279 homes were listed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The total number of homes currently listed for sale on the MLS\u00ae system in Metro Vancouver is 12,984, a 42.1% increase compared to October 2017 (9,137) and a 0.8% decrease compared to September 2018 (13,084).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For all property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for October 2018 is 15.1%. By property type, the ratio is 10.3% for detached homes, 17.3% for townhomes, and 20.6% for condominiums.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Generally, analysts say that downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below the 12% mark for a sustained period, while home prices often experience upward pressure when it surpasses 20% over several months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cHome prices have edged down between three and five per cent, depending on housing type, in our region since June,\u201d said Moore. \u201cThis is providing a little relief for those looking to buy compared to the all-time highs we\u2019ve experienced over the last year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The MLS\u00ae Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential homes in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,062,100. This represents a 1% increase over October 2017 and a 3.3% decrease over the last three months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sales of detached homes in October 2018 reached 637, a 32.2% decrease from the 940 detached sales recorded in October 2017. The benchmark price for detached properties is $1,524,000. This represents a 5.1% decrease from October 2017 and a 3.9% decrease over the last three months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sales of apartments reached 985 in October 2018, a 35.7% decrease compared to the 1,532 sales in October 2017. The benchmark price of an apartment property is $683,500. This represents a 5.8% increase from October 2017 and a 3.1% decrease over the last three months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Attached homes sales in October 2018 totalled 344, a 37.5% decrease compared to the 550 sales in October 2017. The benchmark price of an attached home is $829,200. This represents a 4.4% increase from October 2017 and a 2.8% decrease over the last three months.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rebgv.org\/sites\/default\/files\/REBGV-Stats-Pkg-October-2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to view the full stats package.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home sale activity across Metro Vancouver* remained below long-term historical averages in October.
