FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Home sellers continue to outnumber buyers in Greater

Vancouvers summer housing market
VANCOUVER, B.C. September 5, 2012 Home sale activity remained below long-term averages in the
Greater Vancouver housing market in August.
The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales of detached, attached and apartment properties reached 1,649 in August, a 30.7 per cent decline compared to the 2,378 sales in
August 2011 and a 21.4 per cent decline compared to the 2,098 sales in July 2012.
August sales were the second lowest total for the month in the region since 1998 and 39.2 per cent below the
10-year August sales average of 2,711.
Home sales this summer have been lower than weve seen for most of the past ten years, yet we continue to
see relative stability when it comes to prices, Eugen Klein, REBGV president said.
New listings for detached, attached and apartment properties in Greater Vancouver totalled 4,044 in August.
This represents a 13.7 per cent decline compared to August 2011 when 4,685 properties were listed for sale on the
MLS and a 15.8 per cent decline compared to the 4,802 new listings in July 2012.
For sellers its critical to work with your REALTOR to understand todays market and to develop the best
strategy for selling your home, Klein said. On average its taking about two months for a home to sell on the
MLS in Greater Vancouver today.
At 17,567, the total number of residential property listings on the MLS increased 13.8 per cent from this time
last year and declined 2.8 per cent compared to July 2012.
Today, our sales-to-active-listings ratio sits at 9 per cent, which puts us in a buyers market. This ratio has been
declining in our market since March when it was 19 per cent, Klein said.
The MLSLink Housing Price Index (HPI) composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Greater
Vancouver is $609,500. This represents a decline of 0.5% compared to this time last year and a decline of 1.1%
compared to last month.
Sales of detached properties on the MLS in August 2012 reached 624, a decrease of 38.8 per cent from the
1,020 detached sales recorded in August 2011, and a 30.1 per cent decrease from the 893 units sold in August
2010. The benchmark price for detached properties increased 0.2 per cent from August 2011 to $942,100.
Sales of apartment properties reached 725 in August 2012, a 24.1 per cent decrease compared to the 955 sales in
August 2011, and a decrease of 22.5 per cent compared to the 935 sales in August 2010. The benchmark price of
an apartment property decreased 0.9 per cent from August 2011 to $370,100.
Attached property sales in August 2012 totalled 300, a 25.6 per cent decrease compared to the 403 sales in
August 2011, and a 19.8 per cent decrease from the 374 attached properties sold in August 2010. The benchmark
price of an attached unit decreased 1.9 per cent between August 2011 and 2012 to $462,300.
