The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) reports that a total of 5,572 residential unit sales were recorded by the Multiple Listing Service\u00ae (MLS\u00ae) in July 2022, a decrease of 42.4% from July 2021. The average MLS\u00ae residential price in BC was $923,449, a 3.6% increase from $891,376 recorded in July 2021.

Provincial active listings rose 28% year-over-year, though from a very low level in July 2021. Inventories remain quite low, but the slow pace of sales has tipped some markets into balanced or even buyers\u2019 market territory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Year-to-date, BC residential sales dollar volume was down 20% from the same period in 2021 to $58.7 billion.
