This is allowing the supply of homes for sale to accumulate to levels we haven\u2019t seen in the last few years,\u201d says REBGV president Phil Moore, in a statement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cRising interest rates, high prices and more restrictive mortgage requirements are among the factors dampening home buyer activity today,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here are 9 more stats that explain where Metro Vancouver\u2019s housing market stands halfway through the year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">1. There were a total of 11,947 homes listed for sale in June, up 40% from 8,515 homes listed a year ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">2. There were 5,279 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale last month \u2014 a roughly 8% drop compared to the 5,721 homes listed a year ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">3. REBGV says June\u2019s listing total is the highest it has been since June 2015. \u201cWith reduced demand, detached homes are entering a buyers\u2019 market and price growth in our townhome and apartment markets is showing signs of decelerating,\u201d says Moore.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">4. For all property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for June was 20%. REBGV says downward pressure on home prices typically occurs when the ratio dips below the 12% mark over several months, while prices experience upward pressure when it surpasses 20% for a sustained period.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">5. By property type, the sales-to-active listings ratio was roughly 12% for detached homes, 25% for townhomes and 33% for condos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">6. The benchmark price of a home in Metro Vancouver hit $1,093,600 in June \u2014 a 9.5% increase from a year ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">7. In the detached segment, a total of 766 detached homes sold last month, dropping 42% from the 1,320 homes recorded in June 2017. The benchmark price of a detached home was $1,598,200 in June, up 0.7% from the same period last year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">8. A total of 1,240 condos sold in the region \u2014 a 35% drop compared to 1,905 condo sales in June 2017. The benchmark price of a condo hit $704,200 in June, up 17% from a year ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">9. In the attached segment, a total of 419 homes sold in June, down 37% compared to the 668 sales in June 2017. Last month, the benchmark price of an attached home was $859,800 \u2014 a 15% increase from a year ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/2018\/07\/9-facts-metro-vancouvers-market-6-months-stricter-mortgage-regulations.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">These 9 Facts Show Where Metro Vancouver&#8217;s Housing Market Stands After 6 Months of Stricter Mortgage Regulations<\/a> by Kerrisa Wilson | Livabl<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After six months of stricter mortgage regulations and higher interest rates, housing demand in Metro Vancouver continued to decline in June, while supply levels soared.
