So, when you have that kind of a mismatch you have a bit of a stalemate between the buyer and the seller,\u201d says Henderson.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The most significant decline in the city\u2019s luxury single-family home market last year was in the $4 million-plus segment where sales fell 35% from 2016.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.buzzbuzzhome.com\/2018\/01\/luxury-sales-vancouver-rise-2018.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Are Luxury Home Sales in Vancouver Set to Rise in 2018?<\/a> by Kerrisa Wilson | Buzz Buzz Home<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although luxury sales over $1 million dropped in 2017, top-tier sales are expected to improve this year, says Sotheby\u2019s International Realty Canada.
