The strength in the first quarter was enough to offset the modest overall sales decline the market experienced in the second quarter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The new condo segment fared worse than single-family homes. Altus Group reported new condo market activity posted its worst second quarter result since 2009, dropping 30 percent compared to a year ago. Meantime, new single-family home sales jumped 59 percent over 2019 levels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Altus Group Analytics Manager Ryan Wyse said that single-family homes have been outperforming condo sales in markets across the country since the pandemic recovery began in early summer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In a blog post accompanying the data release, he went on to caution that expectations for a string of new project launches to lift market activity further in the fall should not be taken as a given.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhile there were some positive signs of improved activity late in the quarter, there is still much uncertainty in the market,\u201d wrote Wyse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cA potential increase in the number of new projects launches in the third quarter could lead to increased sales in the second half of the year, but there are no guarantees that all the delayed launches will go ahead,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/2020\/09\/vancouver-new-home-sales-2020.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vancouver New Home Sales Up 5% in 2020&#8217;s First Half<\/a> by Sean MacKay | Livabl<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even with pandemic-induced shutdowns throwing a wrench into homebuilders\u2019 project launch plans this spring, sales for new construction homes in the Vancouver region were up five percent in the first &hellip;
