This represents a 0.4% decrease compared to the 4,049 homes listed in October 2021 and a 4.6% decrease compared to September 2022 when 4,229 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 9,852, a 22.6% increase compared to October 2021 (8,034) and a 1.2% decrease compared to September 2022 (9,971).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cRecent years have been characterized by a frenetic pace of sales amplified by scarce listings on the market to choose from. Today\u2019s market cycle is a marked departure, with a slower pace of sales and more selection to choose from,\u201d Lis said. \u201cThis environment provides buyers and sellers more time to conduct home inspections, strata minute reviews, and other due diligence. With the possibly of yet another rate hike by the Bank of Canada this December, it has become even more important to secure financing as early in the process as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For all property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for October 2022 is 19.3%. By property type, the ratio is 14.3% for detached homes, 21.6% for townhomes, and 23.2% for apartments.<br \/>\nGenerally, 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 $1,148,900. This represents a 2.1% increase from October 2021, a 9.2% decrease over the last six months, and a 0.6%t decrease compared to September 2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sales of detached homes in October 2022 reached 575, a 47.2%t decrease from the 1,090 detached sales recorded in October 2021. The benchmark price for detached properties is $1,892,100. This represents a 1.6% increase from October 2021 and a 0.7% decrease compared to September 2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sales of apartment homes reached 995 in October 2022, a 44.8% decrease compared to the 1,801 sales in October 2021. The benchmark price of an apartment property is $727,100. This represents a 5.1% increase from October 2021 and a 0.2% decrease compared to September 2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Attached home sales in October 2022 totalled 333, a 44.8% decrease compared to the 603 sales in October 2021. The benchmark price of an attached unit is $1,043,600. This represents a 7.1% increase from October 2021 and a 0.5% decrease compared to September 2022.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/members.rebgv.org\/news\/REBGV-Stats-Pkg-Oct-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to view the October 2022 stats package.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rebgv.org\/market-watch\/monthly-market-report\/october-2022.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inflation, Rising Interest Rates Create Caution Across Metro Vancouver\u2019s Housing Market<\/a> by REBGV<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home sale activity across the Metro Vancouver housing market continued to trend well below historical averages in October.
