This represents a 9.5% decrease compared to the 4,377 homes listed in July 2021 and a 24.7% decrease compared to June 2022 when 5,256 homes were listed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The total number of homes currently listed for sale on the MLS\u00ae system in Metro Vancouver is 10,288, a 4.4% increase compared to July 2021 (9,850) and a 1.3% decrease compared to June 2022 (10,425).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAfter two years of market conditions that favoured home sellers, home buyers now have more selection to choose from and more time to make their decision,\u201d John said. \u201cIn today\u2019s changing housing market, both home buyers and sellers should invest the time to understand what these changes mean for their personal circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For all property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for July 2022 is 18.3%. By property type, the ratio is 11.8% for detached homes, 20% for townhomes, and 24.5% 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 $1,207,400. This represents a 10.3% increase over July 2021 and a 2.3% decrease compared to June 2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sales of detached homes in July 2022 reached 523, a 50.2% decrease from the 1,050 detached sales recorded in July 2021. The benchmark price for a detached home is $2,000,600. This represents an 11% increase from July 2021 and a 2.8% decrease compared to June 2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sales of apartment homes reached 1,060 in July 2022, a 36.4% decrease compared to the 1,666 sales in July 2021. The benchmark price of an apartment home is $755,000. This represents an 11.4% increase from July 2021 and a 1.5% decrease compared to June 2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Attached home sales in July 2022 totalled 304, a 50.2% decrease compared to the 610 sales in July 2021. The benchmark price of an attached home is $1,096,500. This represents a 15.8% increase from July 2021 and a 1.7% decrease compared to June 2022.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/members.rebgv.org\/news\/REBGV-Stats-Pkg-July-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to view the July 2022 stats package.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rebgv.org\/market-watch\/monthly-market-report\/july-2022.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Home Buyer Demand Continues to Ease Across Metro Vancouver<\/a> by REBGV<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Metro Vancouver\u2019s housing market has entered a new cycle marked by quieter home buyer demand and a gradual rise in the supply of homes for sale.
