Home buyer demand in Metro Vancouver* returned to <\/span>more historically typical levels in April. <\/span>The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential home sales in the <\/span>region totalled 3,232 in April 2022, a 34.1 per cent decrease from the 4,908 sales recorded in <\/span>April 2021, and a 25.6 per cent decrease from the 4,344 homes sold in March 2022.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


Last month’s sales were 1.5 per cent above the 10-year April sales average. <\/span>“So far this spring, we’ve seen home sales ease down from the record-breaking pace of the last <\/span>year,” Daniel John, REBGV Chair said. “While a small sample size, the return to a more <\/span>traditional pace of home sales that we’ve experienced over the last two months provides hopeful <\/span>home buyers more time to make decisions, secure financing and perform other due diligence <\/span>such as home inspections.”<\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There were 6,107 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the <\/span>Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in April 2022. This represents a 23.1 <\/span>per cent decrease compared to the 7,938 homes listed in April 2021 and an 8.5 per cent decrease <\/span>compared to March 2022 when 6,673 homes were listed. <\/span>The total number of homes currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is <\/span>8,796, a 14.1 per cent decrease compared to April 2021 (10,245) and a 15.3 per cent increase <\/span>compared to March 2022 (7,628).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


“With interest rates climbing and the total inventory of homes for sale inching higher, it’s <\/span>important to work with your local Realtor to understand how these factors could affect your <\/span>home buying or selling situation<\/span>,<\/span>” John said. <\/span>For all property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for April 2022 is 36.7 per cent. By<\/span>
property type, the ratio is 25.3 per cent for detached homes, 47.1 per cent for townhomes, and 45 <\/span>per cent for apartments<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
