Last year\u2019s sales total was 33.4% above the 10-year average.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWith low interest rates, increased household savings, more flexible work arrangements, and higher home prices than ever before, Metro Vancouverites, in record numbers, are assessing their housing needs and options,\u201d said REBGV economist Keith Stewart.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Reduced supply has created competitive conditions across Metro Vancouver, with the housing shortage pushing prices to all-time highs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver ended the year at $1,230,200, representing a year-over-year increase of 17.3%. The benchmark price of a detached home crept over $1.9 million, while the condo benchmark sits at $761,800.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cDetached house prices are now up 22% year-over-year, and condo prices are starting to catch up, rising 13%,\u201d said Vancouver realtor Steve Saretsky in a recent report. \u201cIt would not surprise me to see condos outperform detached houses in the year ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Metro Vancouver recorded 2,737 total housing sales in December, down 22% from the previous month due to reduced supply, with new home listings failing to keep up with surging demand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There were 1,945 properties listed for sale during December, a 50.9% decrease from the previous month and 19.3% drop year-over-year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIn Greater Vancouver we are currently sitting at 4,900 active listings for sale as of the end of December. This is the lowest count on record, ever,\u201d Saretsky said. \u201cIn other words, we are starting the new year from a record low inventory base. It will take many months, likely longer, to get inventory to healthy levels, let alone oversupplied.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Detached homes are in short supply across Metro Vancouver, with months of inventory currently sitting at 2.5, although the inventory gap widens significantly as prices increase.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Single-family houses priced under $2 million are currently seeing only 0.9 months of inventory for sale, compared to 8.2 months of inventory for houses listed over $3 million.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe number of qualified buyers begins to shrink when prices move north of $2 million so this could be a problem for the market moving forward, which is why I think price growth could be constrained this year,\u201d said Saretsky.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Condo listings fell 14% month-over-month in December, while the months of inventory for sale has plunged to 1.5, dipping to its lowest point since August 2017.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIf you\u2019re looking for a condo under $1 million then months of inventory falls even further, down to 1.1,\u201d Saretsky said. \u201cThe name of the game is affordability. Everyone is struggling with housing affordability and so most of the demand is concentrated at the entry levels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/2022\/01\/vancouver-supply-crunch-poised-push-prices-higher.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sales Up, Listings Down : Vancouver Supply Crunch Poised to Push Prices Higher in 2022<\/a> by Ryan Garner | Livabl<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following a record-setting year, the Metro Vancouver housing market should continue to see buyers compete for fewer listings at higher prices in 2022.
