The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) reports that a total of 3,284 residential unit sales were recorded by the Multiple Listing Service\u00ae (MLS\u00ae) in April 2020, a decline of 50.8% from April 2019. The average MLS\u00ae residential price in BC was $737,834, a 7.8% increase from $684,430 recorded the previous year. Total sales dollar volume in March was $2.4 billion, a 46.9% decrease over 2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;We expected to see a sharp drop in sales for April as we confronted the COVID-19 pandemic,\u201d said BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson. \u201cHowever, buyers and sellers are adapting to a new normal, and activity should pick up as the economy gradually re-opens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While home sales were down by more than half compared to this time last year, the supply of homes for sale, which normally rises through the spring, was down close to 10% on a seasonally adjusted basis and down 23.7% year-over-year. That slide in total active listings means that prices remained firm despite the sharp fall in sales.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Year-to-date, BC residential sales dollar volume was up 9.6% to $15.3 billion, compared with the same period in 2019. Residential unit sales were down 1.7% to 20,164 units, while the average MLS\u00ae residential price was up 11.6% to $758,614.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/?attachment_id=15635\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-15635\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-15635\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BCREA-jj-288x216.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"533\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BCREA-jj-288x216.jpg 288w, https:\/\/www.roryc.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/BCREA-jj.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 533px) 100vw, 533px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcrea.bc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020-04.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a> for the complete news release, including detailed statistics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcrea.bc.ca\/economics\/housing-market-slows-but-resilient-in-response-to-pandemic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Housing Market Slows, but Resilient in Response to Pandemic<\/a> by Brendon Ogmundson | BCREA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vancouver, BC \u2013 May 13, 2020.
