This was part of an unusual seasonal pattern the market followed last year, which can be attributed in large part to the pandemic,\u201d REBGV chairwoman Colette Gerber said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The latest gains were 57.7% above the 10-year December sales average.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the year, the region tallied a total of 30,944 home sales. That\u2019s up 22.1% from the 25,351 sales recorded in 2019 and represents a 25.7% increase compared with the 24,618 sales in 2018.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, the 2020 sales are still 2.8% below the 10-year sales average.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This decline comes after different levels of government began introducing measures to cool down white-hot markets in Vancouver and Toronto.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But the pandemic has brought on measures from the Bank of Canada to keep the economy chugging, including record-low interest rates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAfter adapting to the COVID-19 environment, local home buyer demand and seller supply returned at a steady pace throughout the summer, fall and winter seasons,&#8221; Gerber said. &#8220;Shifting housing needs and low interest rates were key drivers of this activity in 2020. Looking ahead, the supply of homes for sale will be a critical factor in determining home price trends in 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The benchmark price for all residential properties, including condos and detached homes, across Metro Vancouver reached $1,047,400 by the end of 2020.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That\u2019s up 5.4% from a year earlier.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/biv.com\/article\/2021\/01\/metro-vancouver-home-sales-surge-53-hitting-new-december-record\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Metro Vancouver Home Sales Surge 53%, Hitting New December Record<\/a> by Tyler Orton | BIV<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike many British Columbians, home sales did not take a break over the holidays in Metro Vancouver.
