That is a 34.9% decrease from the 3,022 sales recorded in October 2017.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are now 12,984 homes listed for sale on the Multiple Listings Service (MLS) system in Metro Vancouver \u2013 a 42.1% increase compared to October 2017, when 9,137 homes were on the market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe supply of homes for sale today is beginning to return to levels that we haven\u2019t seen in our market in about four years,\u201d Moore said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cFor home buyers, this means you have more selection to choose from. For sellers, it means your home may face more competition, from other listings, in the marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The benchmark price for all homes in Metro Vancouver is $1,062,100. That price is up 1%, compared to a year ago, but down 3.3% compared to three months ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The benchmark price for detached properties is $1,524,000. This represents a 5.1% drop compared with a year ago and a 3.9% dip compared with a few months ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The benchmark price for an apartment is $683,500 \u2013 up 5.8% compared with a year ago but down 3.1% compared with a few months ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The benchmark price for an attached home is $829,200 \u2013 up 4.4% compared with a year ago but down 2.8% compared with a few months ago.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/biv.com\/article\/2018\/11\/slow-sales-and-lots-inventory-push-down-vancouver-home-prices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Slow Sales &amp;
