A lovely 1 bedroom apartment in Kitsilano has just been reported sold for $3,000 over the list price.  The asking price was in the low $300's.  We've seen a few of these "over list" sales in the past couple of weeks.  This is not an indication of prices going up, but rather, an establishment of value to buyers.  The number of sales reported this week is up again, and it is starting to look like the market is gaining some momentum, to the point where there is actual data to reasonably establish market value (in past months, there was none).  More on this week's trend when closing numbers are in.
