This total is 29.5% below the 10-year seasonal average (2,832) for October.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWith properties coming to market at a rate roughly 5% above the ten-year seasonal average, there seems to be a continuation of the renewed interest on the part of sellers to participate in the market that we\u2019ve been watching this fall,\u201d Andrew Lis, REBGV\u2019s director of economics and data analytics said. \u201cCounterbalancing this increase in supply, however, is the fact sales remain almost 30% below their ten-year seasonal average, which tells us demand is not as strong as we might expect this time of year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There were 4,664 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service\u00ae (MLS\u00ae) in Metro Vancouver in October 2023. This represents a 15.4% increase compared to the 4,043 properties listed in October 2022 and is 4.8% above the 10-year seasonal average (4,449) for the month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS\u00ae system in Metro Vancouver is 11,599, a 12.6% increase compared to October 2022 (10,305). This change is also 0.6% above the 10-year seasonal average (11,526).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Across all detached, attached and apartment property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for October 2023 is 17.9%. By property type, the ratio is 12.9% for detached homes, 20.9% for attached, and 21.5% for apartments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Analysis of the historical data suggests downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below 12% for a sustained period, while home prices often experience upward pressure when it surpasses 20% over several months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWith more supply in the form of resale inventory, and weaker demand in the form of slower sales, we\u2019ve seen market conditions overall adjust towards more balanced conditions. It\u2019s noteworthy that the multifamily segment remains more active than the detached segment at this time,\u201d Lis said. \u201cWhile the highest borrowing costs we\u2019ve seen in over a decade continue to constrain affordability, a silver lining for buyers is that price increases have abated with these more balanced market conditions, meaning purchasing power is holding steady for the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The MLS\u00ae Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,196,500. This represents a 4.4% increase over October 2022 and a 0.6% decrease compared to September 2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sales of detached homes in October 2023 reached 577, a 0.7% decrease from the 581 detached sales recorded in October 2022. The benchmark price for a detached home is $2,001,400. This represents a 5.8% increase from October 2022 and a 0.8% decrease compared to September 2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sales of apartment homes reached 1,044 in October 2023, a 4.9% increase compared to the 995 sales in October 2022. The benchmark price of an apartment home is $770,200. This represents a 6.4% increase from October 2022 and a 0.2% increase compared to September 2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Attached home sales in October 2023 totalled 356, a 6.6% increase compared to the 334 sales in October 2022. The benchmark price of a townhouse is $1,100,500. This represents a 6% increase from October 2022 and a 0.2% increase compared to September 2023.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/members.rebgv.org\/news\/REBGV-Stats-Pkg-Oct-2023.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to view the October 2023 stats package.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rebgv.org\/market-watch\/monthly-market-report\/october-2023.html.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Metro Vancouver Housing Market Holds Steady in October<\/a> by REBGV<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An increase in newly listed properties is providing more choice to home buyers across Metro Vancouver, but sales remain below long-term averages.
