While that represents a 114.4% increase from December 2021, it\u2019s also a 6.9% decrease year-over-year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A total of 5,663 homes are currently listed on the region\u2019s MLS system, up 8.2% from December but a 31.8% decrease compared to January 2021 (8,306).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOur listing inventory on MLS is less than half of what would be optimal to begin the year. As a result, hopeful home buyers have limited choice in the market today,\u201d Keith Stewart, REBGV economist said. \u201cThis trend is causing fierce competition for a scarce number of homes for sale, which, in turn, increases prices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver reached $1,255,200 in January, an 18.5% increase from January 2021 and a 2% bump month-over-month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Detached home prices keep hitting new heights, with a benchmark price of $1,953,000 representing a 2.2% from December and 22.7% rise year-over-year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Benchmark prices for attached homes and apartment properties saw month-over-month increases of 2.5% and 1.8%, respectively, hitting $1,029,500 and $775,7000.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWith home prices reaching new highs in recent months, the need has never been greater for government to collaborate with the building community to expedite the creation of housing supply and provide more choice for those struggling to buy a home today,\u201d Stewart said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Seller\u2019s market conditions prevail in Metro Vancouver, with the 40.3% sales-to-active listings ratio for all property types. The ratio is 28% for detached homes, 51.6% for townhomes, and 49.7% for apartments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAs we approach spring, we\u2019ll keep a close eye on the impact of rising interest rates on buyers\u2019 willingness to buy and on whether more home owners will opt to become sellers in what\u2019s traditionally the busiest season of the year,\u201d Stewart said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/2022\/02\/benchmark-detached-home-metro-vancouver-hit-1953000-january.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Benchmark for A Detached Home in Metro Vancouver Hit $1,953,000 in January<\/a> by Ryan Garner | Livabl<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Low housing inventory across Metro Vancouver resulted in decreased sales and increased prices during the first month of 2022.
