Despite the slowdown from the busier late winter and early spring months, May\u2019s total still came in nearly 28 percent above the 10-year sales average for the month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The decline in sales did little to slow home price increases, with the MLS benchmark price for the Vancouver region climbing 14 percent annually to $1,172,800. The average sale price in May for a Vancouver detached home was $1,800,600, while the average condo went for $737,100. The figures were up 22.8 percent and 7.9 percent, respectively, on an annual basis. Both the condo and detached home segments also recorded monthly average price increases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">REBGV Economist Keith Stewart said market activity remains above long-term averages, but the intensity seen earlier in the year has come down by a few degrees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWith sales easing down from record peaks, a revised mortgage stress test that reduces the maximum borrowing amounts by approximately 4.5 percent, and the average five-year fixed mortgage rates climbing back over two per cent since the beginning of 2021, we\u2019ll pay close attention to these factors leading into the summer to understand what affect they\u2019ll have on the current market cycle,\u201d Stewart said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All three property types tracked individually by REBGV \u2014 detached homes, townhomes and condos \u2014 remained comfortably in seller\u2019s market territory in May, meaning prices will continue to rise as demand outpaces supply.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe seller\u2019s market conditions experienced throughout much of the pandemic highlight the need for increasing the volume and variety of housing supply across our region,\u201d Stewart said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cDoing this requires a more disciplined focus on planning, reducing building costs, understanding demographic changes, and expediting the building approval process,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/2021\/06\/vancouver-housing-market-dials-back-intensity-may.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vancouver Housing Market Dials Back Intensity in May After Record-Setting Streak<\/a> by Sean MacKay | Livabl<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The record-setting pace of home sales in the Vancouver market seen in the early months of the year died down in May, as 4,268 properties changed hands across the region. &hellip;
