This year\u2019s activity, while still elevated, is happening at a calmer pace than we experienced 12 months ago,\u201d Daniel John, REBGV Chair said. \u201cHome buyers are keeping a close eye on rising interest rates, hoping to make a move before their locked-in rates expire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There were 6,673 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service\u00ae (MLS\u00ae) in Metro Vancouver in March 2022. This represents a 19.5% decrease compared to the 8,287 homes listed in March 2021 and a 22% increase compared to February 2022 when 5,471 homes were listed.<\/p>\n<p>The total number of homes currently listed for sale on the MLS\u00ae system in Metro Vancouver is 7,628, a 16.6% decrease compared to March 2021 (9,145) and a 13.1% increase compared to February 2022 (6,742).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe\u2019re still seeing upward pressure on prices across all housing categories in the region. Lack of supply is driving this pressure,\u201d John said. \u201cThe number of homes listed for sale on our MLS\u00ae system today is less than half of what\u2019s needed to shift the market into balanced territory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For all property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for March 2022 is 56.9%. By property type, the ratio is 38.8% for detached homes, 73.3% for townhomes, and 70.3% for apartments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">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 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The MLS\u00ae Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,360,500. This represents a 20.7% increase over March 2021 and a 3.6% increase compared to February 2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sales of detached homes in March 2022 reached 1,291, a 34.3% decrease from the 1,965 detached sales recorded in March 2021. The benchmark price for a detached home is $2,118,600. This represents a 23.4% increase from March 2021 and a 3.6% increase compared to February 2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sales of apartment homes reached 2,310 in March 2022, a 14.3% decrease compared to the 2,697 sales in March 2021. The benchmark price of an apartment home is $835,500. This represents a 16.8% increase from March 2021 and a 3.4% increase compared to February 2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Attached home sales in March 2022 totalled 743, a 29.0% decrease compared to the 1,046 sales in March 2021. The benchmark price of an attached home is $1,138,300. This represents a 4.4% increase from March 2021 and a 28.1% increase compared to February 2022.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/members.rebgv.org\/news\/REBGV-Stats-Pkg-March-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to view the March 2022 stats package.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rebgv.org\/content\/rebgv-org\/market-watch\/monthly-market-report\/march-2022.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Calmer Than Last Spring&#8217;s Record Pace, Metro Vancouver Home Buyer Demand Remains Elevated<\/a> by REBGV<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While down from last year\u2019s record numbers, home sale activity in Metro Vancouver\u2019s housing market remained elevated in March.
