The real estate market in Greater Vancouver has really outperformed this year despite the pandemic. For example the West Side inventory of single family homes has shimmied down from 15 months of supply in January to 6 months supply in December with sales volume up about 18% year over year. We've had 889 West Side single family homes sell so far this year as compared with 752 last year, while supply is significantly lower this year. This is good news after over two years of slump. As the supply has diminished the benchmark prices have risen slightly.

Vancouver Real Estate Market Update
Here is why we have such a competitive real estate market in a nutshell. The weekly listing count is neck in neck with the weekly sales count leaving a shortage of inventory to choose from. This is happening while we have virtually no foreign Buyers in the market so there goes that line of thinking as to who to blame for our high housing prices.
