The news is mostly positive. Despite earlier forecasts of a gloomy market, Metro Vancouver experienced a six per cent increase during the first quarter of this year compared to Q4-2022. A total of 2,143 new homes were added to the area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">BC residents are riding a small but steady wave of optimism, driven by improved rental conditions and the possibility of future rate cuts. It\u2019s worth noting that the forecast remains cloudy on rate hikes in July. The current rate is at a 22-year-high of 4.75%, its last raise in early June.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Outer Metro Contributing to New Home Starts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Outer Metro accounted for 44% of all new home starts in Metro Vancouver. Building began on 6,670 new homes in Q1-2023, with a slight drop of 2.9% \u2014 or 197 units \u2014 from the previous quarter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">New home starts were broken down into three types : Townhomes, apartments, and single-family. There were 558 townhomes, 5,543 apartments, and 569 single-family new homes starting in the first quarter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Active Sales of Concrete Condos Holding Steady<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the end of the first quarter, 161 new concrete condominium projects were actively selling across Metro Vancouver. That\u2019s only one less compared to last quarter and one less year-over-year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The inner metro region accounted for most of the projects, with 54% (87 condos) actively selling. Within the City of Vancouver, 36% (58 projects) were active, while the Outer Metro had 16 products or 10%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">1,288 concrete condos were sold in the first quarter, an increase of 54% from Q4-2022, but still down 69% year-over-year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Townhomes Up Nearly 30% Since Q4-2022<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">320 townhome sales were recorded in the first quarter, a 29% increase from Q4-2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Outer Metro took up 60% of sales in Metro Vancouver, while the Inner Metro accounted for 31%. 9% of the sales took place in the City of Vancouver.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">1,000 new townhomes were released and unsold at the end of the quarter, marking an 8% decrease from the fourth quarter of 2022. The Outer and Inner Metros accounted for the majority of inventory, with 41% and 39% respectively.
