There were 9,466 homes (including detached, attached and condo) listed for sale in the region \u2014 a 1.2% increase compared to September 2016 and a 7.5% gain compared to August 2017.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">2. A total of 5,375 properties were newly listed for sale. This is a 12% increase compared to the 4,799 homes listed a year ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">3. A total of 852 detached properties sold, up roughly 28% from the 666 sales recorded a year ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">4. The benchmark price of a detached home reached $1,617,300, representing a 2.9% gain from September 2016.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">5. REBGV president Oudil says detached homes accounted for 30% of all sales and represented 62% of the total homes listed for sale. \u201cThis dynamic has slowed the pace of upward pressure that we\u2019ve seen on detached home prices in our market over the last few years,\u201d says Oudil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">6. Last month, condo sales totalled 1,451, up 19% from the 1,218 sales recorded a year ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">7. The benchmark price of a condo hit $635,800, soaring 21.7% from September 2016.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">8. In the attached segment, a total of 518 properties sold, representing a 40.4% increase compared to the 369 units sold in September 2016.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">9. The benchmark price of an attached home was $786,600, up 14.5% from a year ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">10. For all property types in the region, the sales-to-active listings ratio is 29.8%. REBGV says generally downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio falls below the 12% mark for a prolonged period. Conversely, home prices typically experience upward pressure when the ratio surpasses 20% over several months.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.buzzbuzzhome.com\/2017\/10\/10-facts-shed-light-greater-vancouvers-housing-market-september-2017.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">10 Key Facts That Shed Light on Greater Vancouver&#8217;s Housing Market in September 2017<\/a> by Kerrisa Wilson | Buzz Buzz Home<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overall sales activity continued to be driven by demand for condos and townhomes in September, while activity in the detached segment remained stable.
