The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reported that the benchmark price for all properties in May 2023 is $1,188,000 \u2013 a month-over-month increase of 1.3%. Despite this being a 5.6% decrease from last year\u2019s benchmark price, prices have been steadily increasing this year and the market remains hot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Low Inventory Creating Competitive Conditions Among Buyers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The number of newly listed homes rose by 31.4% compared to April, now at 5,661, however this number is still 4.3% below the 10-year seasonal average of 5,917.
