That is up 1.2% compared to the 5,803 units listed in June 2015 but down 6.6% compared to May 2016 when 6,289 properties were listed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cSince March, we\u2019ve seen more homes listed for sale in our market than in any other four-month period this decade,\u201d Morrison said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The sales-to-active listings ratio for June 2016 is 56.3%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Conventional real estate wisdom is that a market is considered to be a buyer&#8217;s market when the sales-to-active-listings ratio is below 13%. A balanced market exists when the ratio is between 13% and about 21%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is then considered a seller&#8217;s market when the ratio is above 21% for at least a few months, REBGV officials have told Business in Vancouver in the past.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While the current 56.3% sales-to-active listings ratio is deep into being a seller\u2019s market, this is the lowest this measure has been since February.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The falling sales-to-active listings ratio in part reflects a slowing in the decline of total properties available to buy.<br \/>\nThe total number of properties currently listed for sale on the multiple listing service in Metro Vancouver is 7,812.\u00a0 That is 35.9% less than in June 2015 yet only 1.1% less than a month ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The steepest declines in sales volume in June were far and away in detached homes, where 1,562 homes sold. That is an 18.6% decrease compared with the 1,920 detached homes that sold in June 2015.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In contrast, the 2,108 apartment sales in June were 18.8% more than the same month a year ago. Attached properties, such as duplexes, also saw increased sales. A total of 730 attached homes sold in June, or 7.2% more than the 681 sales in the same month a year ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As for prices, the benchmark detached home now costs $1,561,500, which is up 38.7% compared with a year ago. The benchmark apartment now costs $501,100, or 25.3% more than a year ago. And, the benchmark attached property now costs $656,900, or 28.1% more than a year ago.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biv.com\/article\/2016\/7\/vancouver-home-sales-hit-third-consecutive-monthly\/\" target=\"_blank\">Vancouver Home Sales Hit Third Consecutive Monthly Decline<\/a> by Glen Korstrom | Business in Vancouver<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The benchmark Metro Vancouver home now costs $917,800, which is 32.1% more than June 2015 and is 3.2% higher than in May. \u201cWhile we&#8217;re starting to see more properties coming &hellip;
