So, they&#8217;re coming off the sidelines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The timing of buyers returning to the market depends on whether long-awaited housing stock comes through, according to the April 19 report from Sotheby\u2019s. Vancouver\u2019s housing supply, for both luxury and conventional housing, is facing a deficit that is not enough to meet the intensifying demand. Sellers are also waiting until new listings are introduced before putting their home on the market, said Kottick.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAcross all the markets, and Vancouver included, low inventory is really the consistent message. Whether it&#8217;s Victoria, Vancouver, Toronto, Halifax, low inventory is definitely an issue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Luxury residential sales over $4 million, across all housing types, were down 53% in the first quarter of this year compared to 2022. Fifty-four properties over that price point were sold, with four of them being above $10 million between January 2023 and March 2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The condominium market in Vancouver saw muted activity with two sales over $4 million in the first quarter of this year. This represents an 88% decline from the first quarter of 2022. There was one condominium sold for more than $10 million in the first quarter of this year, compared to none during the same period last year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cCondominiums are always a destination for people when they can&#8217;t find single-family homes, so we are starting to see more activity in the luxury condo market,\u201d said Kottick.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Single-family home sales over $4 million also remained muted in the first quarter, falling 47% to 52 homes sold compared with the same period in 2022. Sales of homes under $1 million also fell by 47% to 343 sales in the first three months of 2023. During this period, there were three single-family homes sold for over $10 million, compared to five in 2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Detached homes coming in around $2.5 million are getting the most attention, said Kottick.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe&#8217;re not seeing the scenario where buyers are overpaying like they were a couple of years ago. They understand what they&#8217;re willing to bid but they&#8217;re not going to overbid,\u201d he said. \u201cIf they price right and they are in the market sweet spot of that particular property, it potentially will go into bidding if it\u2019s in a high-interest, high-demand area.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/biv.com\/article\/2023\/04\/pent-demand-vancouver-luxury-housing-intensifying-sothebys\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sotheby\u2019s : Pent-Up Demand for Vancouver Luxury Housing &#8220;Intensifying&#8221;<\/a> by Claire Wilson | BIV<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a calm first quarter for luxury real estate in Vancouver, demand is strengthening as buyers who have been waiting on the sidelines start to move into the market, according &hellip;
