Metro Vancouver June Market Highlights
June in Metro Vancouver marks the arrival of summer, as the region settles into one of its busiest times of year. With schools preparing to break for summer and communities embracing a more active outdoor lifestyle, the housing market is also seeing increased engagement as buyers and sellers become more active. Improving demand and a healthy selection of listings are creating favourable conditions for those looking to make a move before the height of the summer season.
Demand for all home types in Metro Vancouver increased to start the summer, with home sales up nearly ten per cent year-over-year in June.
“June saw a pattern of broad gains in home sales across all home types relative to the same time last year, which has been a rare occurrence in recent years. June’s data could be an early sign of a shift in the market. In recent years, sales trends have usually been mixed across home types, which is typical of a sideways trending market. But with all housing types posting gains in June, the data indicate demand may be returning to the market more broadly,” said Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice-president data analytics.
