As of the end of September, home listings totalled 13,439, a 2.7% increase compared with September 2018 and a 0.3% rise from August this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For all home types combined, the sales-to-active listings ratio for September is 17.4%, which is a solidly balanced market (12%-20%). When broken out by property type, the ratio is 12.7% for detached homes (rising back into balanced territory from a buyer\u2019s market), 18.9% for townhomes, and 21.9% for condos (rising back into a seller\u2019s market).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis is a more comfortable market for people on both sides of a real estate transaction,\u201d added Smith. \u201cHome sale and listing activity were both at typical levels for our region in September.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As price trends lag sales trends, the benchmark price of a typical Metro Vancouver home continued to correct, now pegged at $990,600. This is a 7.3% decrease over September 2018 but just a 0.3% slip compared with August 2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sales and Prices by Property Type<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There were 745 sales of single-family homes in Metro Vancouver in September, which is up 46.7% from September last year, and 5.5% higher than August.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The price of a typical detached home in the region is now benchmarked at $1,406,200, which is 8.6% lower than one year ago but only $500 less than August\u2019s price.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sales of attached homes such as townhomes, row houses and duplexes leaped an impressive 53.5% year over year to 422 units, which is also 4.4% up from August.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The benchmark price of an attached Metro Vancouver home now stands at $767,500, which a 7.2% decrease from September 2018 and a 0.6% slip from August 2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A total of 1,166 Metro Vancouver condos exchanged hands in September 2019, which is a 43.6% jump over September 2018, and also 4.4% higher than August.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The price of a typical condo in the region is $651,500.
