However, luxury market sales took a turn in the summer with an increase of 96% year-over-year between July 1 and Aug. 31.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhether it was Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, we saw strong a July and August and then somewhat of a pullback in September, but probably more pronounced in Vancouver than in any other market,\u201d said Don Kottick, president and CEO of Sotheby\u2019s International Realty Canada.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vancouver\u2019s more pronounced pullback is attributed to the impacts of inflation, higher mortgage rates and Vancouver\u2019s persistently low housing supply, he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Beyond just the luxury market, high borrowing costs are dampening sales in BC, with home sales trending at below average levels in September, according to an Oct. 12 market update from the BC Real Estate Association.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Luxury buyers in Vancouver have shifted their preference towards single-family homes, with this property type accounting for 89% of the 55 properties sold between July 1 and Aug. 31 at over $4 million, according to the Sotheby\u2019s report.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This represents a 145% annual increase over the summer months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There were four single-family homes sold for over $10 million during this period compared with two sold in the summer of 2022.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">September sales for properties over $4 million decreased by 26% annually to 14 homes sold.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cSingle-family homes are really driving the luxury market, specifically in the third quarter. What we&#8217;ve also seen is the gap between luxury condos and single-family homes has somewhat narrowed and the result of that is we&#8217;re starting to see the elevated prices of luxury condos,\u201d he said, adding that there are also increases in the costs of maintenance fees for condos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cPeople are saying, \u2018Well, listen, this is the amount of money I get for a luxury condo,\u2019 and then compare that to the benefits of a single-family home and that&#8217;s where we think there was kind of that pullback.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As luxury homebuyers navigate the market amid an uncertain economy, they are being more \u201cdiscerning\u201d in their decision-making, said Kottick.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cBuyers right now are taking their time. They&#8217;re making sure that they find the property that really meets their certain lifestyle. We&#8217;re seeing extended search times and when they get to an offer situation, we&#8217;re seeing that they&#8217;re involved in more detailed negotiations than we&#8217;ve seen in the recent past. We&#8217;re also seeing that if luxury buyers don&#8217;t get the terms and conditions that they want, they will then walk away from the deal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is predicted that these sentiments will continue in the fall and into the winter as buyers face multiple economic headwinds, he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cLuxury buyers, historically, have been very resilient. They&#8217;re very adaptable, but they&#8217;re also not bulletproof,\u201d said Kottick.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/biv.com\/article\/2023\/10\/vancouvers-luxury-real-estate-market-showing-signs-fading-says-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Report : Vancouver&#8217;s Luxury Real Estate Market Showing Signs of Fading<\/a> by Claire Wilson | BIV<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vancouver\u2019s luxury market is being reshaped by new buyer sentiments and economic factors like high housing prices and low supply.
