This uniquely positions the apartment segment relative to the attached and detached segments where sales remained below the ten-year seasonal averages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Over the course of the month, there were 5,348 homes of all types newly listed for sale, which is a 1.3% increase from the 5,278 homes newly listed in June 2022, and 3% below the 10-year seasonal average.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Currently, the total number of homes listed for sale within REBGV jurisdiction is 9,990 units, representing an 8% drop from June 2022\u2019s tally of 10,842, and 17.4% below the 10-year seasonal average.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The sales-to-active listings ratio for June 2023 also highlights the upward pressure in home prices, with the ratios currently hovering at 21% for detached homes, 38.5% for townhouses, and 39.4% for apartments. Generally, based on historical trajectories, home prices see upward pressure when this ratio is over 20% over an extended period of time, while there is downward pressure on prices when the ratio goes below 12% over a sustained period.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The benchmark price across all home types is now $1.203 million, which is a 2.4% drop from June 2022, and up by 1.3% compared to May 2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">REBGV\u2019s jurisdiction covers Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Richmond, Pitt Meadows, Sunshine Coast, Whistler, and all of the Tri-Cities and North Shore. Other areas such as Surrey, Langley, Delta, and White Rock are part of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">REBGV data for Vancouver\u2019s June 2023 performance shows benchmark prices for all home types in the Vancouver Westside reached $1.337 million, representing a 1.3% month-over-month increase and an 8.6% six-month increase, but a 0.3% drop from June 2022. For the Vancouver Eastside, benchmark prices reached $1.217 million, which is a 2% month-over-month increase and a 9.6% six-month increase, but also a 0.3% year-over-year decline.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Benchmark prices for detached houses are now $3.419 million in the Vancouver Westside and $1.88 million in the Vancouver Eastside, townhouses are now $1.497 million in the Vancouver Westside and $1.109 million in the Vancouver Eastside, and for apartments, they are now $856,000 in the Vancouver Westside and $714,000 in the Vancouver Eastside.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>REBGV : June 2023 home sales statistics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Detached homes<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 Number of units sold : 848 (-28.3% over June 2022)<br \/>\n\u2022 Active listings : 4,056<br \/>\n\u2022 Benchmark price : $1,991,300 (-3.2% over June 2022; +1.9% over May 2023)<br \/>\n\u2022 Average days on market : 25<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Apartment homes<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 Number of units sold : 1,573 (+18.6% over June 2022)<br \/>\n\u2022 Active listings : 3,991<br \/>\n\u2022 Benchmark price : $767,000 (+0.5% over June 2022; +0.8% over May 2023)<br \/>\n\u2022 Average days on the market : 22<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Townhomes<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 Number of units sold : 547 (+17.6% over June 2022)<br \/>\n\u2022 Active listings : 1,419<br \/>\n\u2022 Benchmark price : $1,098,900 (-1.0% over June 2022; +1.5% over May 2023)<br \/>\n\u2022 Average days on the market : 19<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyhive.com\/vancouver\/metro-vancouver-home-sales-statistics-june-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uptick in Demand Prompts Continued Rise in Metro Vancouver Home Prices<\/a> by Kenneth Chan | Urbanized<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Metro Vancouver home sales within the jurisdiction of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reached a total of 2,988 units over the month of June 2023.
