Market Trend - July 2020 Highlights
Home sales were up by 28% compared to June. The REBGV’s Chair Colette Gerber explained that "we're seeing the results today of pent up activity, from both home buyers and sellers, that had been accumulating in our market throughout the year. Low interest rate and limited overall supply are also increasing competition across our market".
Safety is still the top priority for our REALTOR® community, BC's Restart phased approach to reopening our province's economy to gradually resume when the time is right. Now, open houses are available, but this means there are safety protocols to follow, if you are worried about any of these, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Median Prices
ESTIMATED MEDIAN PRICE OF A BENCHMARK PROPERTY
The MLS® HPI is a more stable price indicator than average prices, because it tracks changes of "middle-of-the-range" or "typical" homes and excludes the extreme high-end and low-end properties.
Typical homes are defined by the various quantitative property attributes (e.g. above ground living area in square feet) and qualitative housing features (e.g. proximity to shopping, schools, transportation, hospitals etc.) toward the home price of properties sold in Greater Vancouver communities.
In July, there have been a quite a bit of movement in the real estate market. Sales in each category: detached, townhouse and apartment have increased and the benchmark price has also increased. Contact me if you want to know how much your home is worth!
