East Vancouver Detached House Market Update – June 2017
The East Van detached market has been slowly getting busier since the start of the year. The average sales to active ratio are at 25%, which is just barely a Seller’s Market. Breaking that down, the resale market is at 26% while the new construction market is at 19%.
The number of detached houses currently on the market is also trending upward, with 775 homes currently for sale (up from 655 in January), which matches November 2016 and is the highest amount we’ve seen in since 2012. The number of new construction has been fairly steady through this period.
The average price has also been trending upwards throughout the year, though the resale market has shown quite a bit of variation. The average price of resale homes is $1,684,851 while the average price of new construction last month was $2,134,422 (which is about average for the year). Keep in mind that new construction houses are generally quite a bit bigger than older homes, and, naturally, have more luxury finishings.
The most active neighbourhoods for detached house sales are Fraser, Knight, Mount Pleasant and Champlain Heights.
