highlights • The 2,344 sales across the Greater Vancouver board area in September 2019 were 46% above the same month last year—the 3 rd consecutive month that year-over- year sales have risen. • This marked the largest year-over-year increase in sales since March 2015 (partly influenced by the low sales count from September 2018), and the 5th consecutive month of 2,000+ sales. • All product types registered year-over-year sales increases in excess of 40%, as well as month-over-month increases during a period that normally sees sales of each product type fall between August and September.

highlights • For the first time since January 2018, total inventory in the Greater Vancouver board area fell on a year-over-year basis (by 4%). This follows five straight months where the rate of inventory expansion had been slowing. • The overall decline in inventory was due to diminished detached listings, which were down 14% year-over-year. Townhome and condo inventory, on the other hand, rose by 9% and 7%, respectively—though this was the slowest growth since the spring of 2018. • The overall sales-to-listings (S-L) ratio increased from 16% to 18% in September. Detached transitioned from a buyer’s market to a balanced market (11% to 13%), joining townhomes (at 20%). The S-L ratio for condos increased from 20% to 23%, reflecting conditions that are now favourable to sellers.

highlights • Overall, the median sales price increased by 1.1% between August and September (the first month-over-month increase since May 2019). For individual product types, the median sales price actually fell for both detached homes and townhomes (by 0.6% and 0.1%, respectively), but increased by 1.0% for condos. • Compared to one year ago, the overall median sales price was down by 0.6% in September. Detached and townhome prices were 7% and 11% lower, respectively, while the median sales price for condos equalled that of one year ago. • After a marginal increase in August, September saw a slight decrease in each of the detached-to-townhome and townhome-to-condo price ratios, settling at 1.74 and 1.25 respectively (versus 1.75 and 1.26 seen in August). This reflects the existence of slightly more favourable up-sizing opportunities.
