Although this is a drop compared with a year ago, it represents a 59% increase over the number of units sold in January, which were 10% below the 10-year average for that month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cFebruary home sales were well below the record-breaking activity from one year ago and in line with our long-term historical average for the month,\u201d said REBGV president Dan Morrison.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cLimited supply and snowy weather were two factors hampering this activity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Morrison said that although sales are down overall compared with last year, low home seller supply is still unable to keep up with demand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis is why we\u2019ve seen little downward pressure on home prices, particularly in the condominium and townhome markets,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The benchmark price for all homes sold across the region was $906,700, which was 1.2% higher than a month ago. Single family home prices were flat in the month at $1,474,200, while prices for townhomes (up 1.3% to $675,500) and apartments (up 2.7% to $526,300).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">REBGV stats cover Whistler, the Sunshine Coast, Squamish, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge and South Delta.
