So far there have been 1,660 sales in Greater Vancouver in June. The pace of June sales are down slightly compared to May but still very active compared to previous years. Total Active Listings are at 8,357 (down slightly from 8,393 at the same time in May), down from 12,297 in June 2015 and down from 17,199 in June 2014. What’s noticeable in the market is the pace of the strata market compared to the detached housing market. In most market areas, the sales to listings ratio for detached is below that of the strata market. In Vancouver’s Westside, the Sales to Listings Ratio for Detached is at 48% in June, for Townhouses it is 91% and for Condos 97%. In Vancouver’s Eastside it is 58% for Detached, 77% for Townhouses and 110% for Condos. Supply is still an issue in the market combined with strong demand is having the effect on prices were are seeing in the strata market. North Vancouver is still seeing a very undersupplied and active detached market though, continuing the push on prices there.
