Hello East Van!
If you’re thinking about selling your property, give me a call to chat about value, pricing strategy and the sale process. There are plenty of details to chat about and useful things you can do now to prepare for a Fall sale, so don’t hesitate to contact me if you’d like to get started [email protected] or 778-387-7371.
Onto the stats:
The overall HPI Price was pretty steady for each market with a slight uptick for townhouses. Overall townhouses have seen the biggest increase in price in the last year with a 13% increase, but detached houses are right behind at 12% – no surprise given that everyone wanted more space in the last year. Condos have increased 5% in the last year. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a slight uptick in overall HPI this Fall after remaining fairly steady since April.
There was a decline in the number of listings this past month so expect to see an increase in September. It won’t be a significant, market changing increase, but it’ll be enough to get people moving.
Overall the sales to active ratio is still really high – it’s 18% for detached houses then increases to 33% for townhouses, 32% for 2 bedroom condos and 60% for 1 bedroom condos. The market is busy and there are a lot of Buyers out there waiting for their opportunity.

Now is a great time to check in with your mortgage broker about your existing pre-approval. You want to make sure they have all the documents they need (including updated paystubs) to ensure your pre-approval is up to date. Interest rates are great right now so it could be a good time to lock in a new rate for the Fall.
Finally, my monthly reminder to keep supporting local businesses. We only have 4 more months in the year to use up health benefits so make those appointments. Start thinking about necessary fall house maintenance including gutter cleaning, window sealing and ensuring any potential openings for critters are closed up.
