This represents a 31.6% increase compared to the 4,866 homes listed in September 2019 and a 10.1% increase compared to August 2020 when 5,813 homes were listed.<\/p>\n<p>The total number of homes currently listed for sale on the MLS\u00ae system in Metro Vancouver is 13,096, a 2.6% decrease compared to September 2019 (13,439) and a 2.3% increase compared to August 2020 (12,803).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While the pace of new MLS\u00ae listings entering the market is increasing, the heightened demand from home buyers is keeping overall supply levels down,&#8221; Gerber said. &#8220;This is creating upward pressure on home prices, which have been edging up since the spring.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For all property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for September 2020 is 27.8%. By property type, the ratio is 28.3% for detached homes, 36.1% for townhomes, and 24.8% for apartments.<\/p>\n<p>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>The MLS\u00ae Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,041,300. This represents a 5.8% increase over September 2019, and a 0.3% increase compared to August 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Sales of detached homes in September 2020 reached 1,317, a 76.8% increase from the 745 detached sales recorded in September 2019. The benchmark price for detached properties is $1,507,500. This represents a 7.8% increase from September 2019 and a 1.1% increase compared to August 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Sales of apartment homes reached 1,596 in September 2020, a 36.9% increase compared to the 1,166 sales in September 2019. The benchmark price of an apartment property is $683,500. This represents a 4.5% increase from September 2019 and a 0.3% decrease compared to August 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Attached home sales in September 2020 totalled 730, a 73% increase compared to the 422 sales in September 2019. The benchmark price of an attached unit is $809,900. This represents a 5.2% increase from September 2019 and a 0.4% increase compared to August 2020.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/members.rebgv.org\/news\/REBGV-Stats-Pkg-September-2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a> to view the September 2020 stats package.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rebgv.org\/market-watch\/monthly-market-report\/september-2020.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Metro Vancouver Home Sales and Listings Surge in September<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home sale and new listing activity reached record levels in Metro Vancouver in September.
