East Vancouver Condo Market Update
The East Van condo market had a 28% sales to active ratio in July, with 105 sales and 373 current listings. The average sale price is just over $400,000 while the median sale price if $350,000 – indicative that there are a lot of high priced condos, but just as many listings under the $350,000 mark. You’ll find most of those inexpensive listings in oft-overlooked areas of East Van like Collingwood and Hastings East, though you may find some affordable options in Grandview-Commercial Drive and Mount Pleasant. The most active markets last month were, not surprisingly, the $300k to $600k price range, and $800k to $900k. Some of the highest priced condos in East Vancouver are in condos bordering the West side and hugging the east end of False Creek.

The East Van market is still quite varied depending on the building, the views and the neighbourhood. Check out some of your options here:
