By property type, the ratio is 17.3% for detached homes, 26.2% for townhomes, and 29% for apartments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Generally, analysts say downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below 12% 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;\">\u201cThe recent uptick in home sales is moving us into a more historically typical market,\u201d Smith said. \u201cBoth sale and listing activity is trending around our long-term averages in recent months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The MLS\u00ae Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $992,900.
