Metro Vancouver – Market Adjustments Continue as Sales Ratios Decline
Metro Vancouver’s real estate market continued adjusting in January, with sales activity slowing compared to the previous year. The overall sales ratios stood at 9.2% for detached homes, 18.5% for townhomes, and 16.5% for condos. North Vancouver and West Vancouver both outperformed Metro Vancouver’s averages, with North Vancouver condos having the strongest sales ratio.
While townhouses continued to see stronger price growth compared to detached homes and condos, the market remains sensitive to mortgage rate fluctuations and inventory changes. The increase in new listings may provide buyers with more opportunities in the coming months, but sales trends suggest that market demand remains tempered.
