Wednesday, November 2, 2011 - Vancouver Westside Housing Prices - October, 2011

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver has just released the Housing Price Index for October, 2011:

  Benchmark Price 3 Mo. Average 1 Year Change
Detached (Van. West) $ 2,008,702 $ 2,000,949 + 23.4%
Detached (Van. East) $856,411 $840,632 + 16.2%
Townhouses (Van. West) $857,108 $832,393 + 13.7%
Condominiums (Van. West) $ 517,991 $522,816 + 2.3%

Remember the old slogan "Why wait for Spring, do it now?"  My advice to Buyers is just that.  At this time of the year, there is a good selection of properties to purchase, compared to the first and second quarter of the year, with many Sellers getting more competitive in their pricing to achieve a sale.  As is typical, properties that are not sold within the next 45 days, will start to get de-listed, and inventory levels will drop, leaving less choice for Buyers.  The Spring market is anybody's guess.
