October 2024 Vancouver Real Estate Trends: Sales, Inventory & Prices

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.

Vancouver’s housing market continues to see cooling in the market as demand remains low and inventory grows. Total residential sales sank below 2,000 units, with the average price increasing by 7.8% year-over-year to $1.18 million. Limited supply and robust buyer interest are creating a highly competitive environment, with buyers facing bidding wars, especially in the more affordable segments of the market.
