B.C.'s housing market is showing signs of stabilizing, despite slower-than-normal activity, a provincial real estate association says.

B.C. Real Estate Association released its latest report Tuesday, showing home sales dropped by 40 per cent last month compared to August 2021.

“Housing activity across the province remains well below normal but is showing signs of stabilizing,” said BREA's chief economist, Brendon Ogmundson, in a news release.

“While inventory is up over last year, active listings have somewhat stalled at relatively low levels in most major markets and as a result we are seeing a healthier balance compared to last year.”

The average price for homes in B.C. in August was a little over $918,000, BCREA's data showed. That marked a 2.1 per cent increase from August 2021's average of just over $899,000.
