Real Estate Market Report | Vancouver | November 2024

Cooling Persists Amidst Abundant Supply

Home buyers continue to purchase in Vancovuer – due to the strong economy as well as an increase in migration. Many buyers seem to be sitting back to see what is happening to interest rates, however, the homes on the market are moving. 

We help provide home buyers and sellers with the data they need to be successful. When you have access to accurate and relevant data, you can be more confident in setting the price of your home and selling it or buying at the right price. 

With many important factors to consider (what kind of home you have, what community etc.), it’s important to look specifically at what the housing market is doing in your neighbourhood.  

Bōde sellers are more successful and actually make more money, on average, than the rest of the market. We are also here to make sure you have the information you need to make the decisions that are right for YOU!

So what's happening in the Vancouver real estate market as of November 2024?

Let’s start with a Macroeconomics view 

To understand what’s happening in the real estate market you have to look at supply and demand.

The best proxies for supply and demand are:

Supply

New supply: New Listings (i.e. the number of homes recently listed for sale)

Total supply: Inventory (i.e. the total number of homes listed for sale)

Demand

Sales (i.e. the number of homes recently sold)

 

Supply & Demand

Months of Supply (i.e. the number of months it would take to sell all current inventory at the current rate of sale)

 

These metrics are the best indicators of the health of the real estate market. Let’s look at what they show us.

Overall Vancouver Market

Vancouver’s real estate market is defined by increasing supply and slowing demand, with sales dropping to a 4% decrease over the last five Octobers. Average home prices fell by 25% since last year to $1.18 million, despite still being the highest in Canada. Inventory levels have increased to 28%, with 5.5 months of supply. This imbalance solidifies Vancouver as a buyers market, intensifying challenges for sellers.

Vancouver's Detached Homes

Detached homes had a moderate increase in price growth, with values climbing 0.7% annually to an average of $2.01 million. Sales are down 16%, and abundant inventory availability, creates challenges for sellers. High demand still persists in luxury and mid-market segments, driven by international interest and local affluence.

Vancouver's Apartments

Vancouver’s apartment sector remains active, with sales increasing 2% and prices up 1.7% from last month, now averaging $750,000. Affordability relative to other property types attracts first-time buyers and investors. However, inventory abundance persists, with more than 6 months of supply.

Vancouver's Attached Homes

Attached homes, including townhomes and duplexes, see balanced growth, with sales at 3% below the last five Octobers and prices averaging $1.05 million, up 1.7% from last month. This segment continues to cater to young families seeking affordability and space, but with inventory expansion, is creating opportunities for buyers who have been waiting for this market cooling.
