Sales and Listings Stats for End of November 2013

"Little by little, one travels far." - J. R. R. Tolkien

 

 

Attached are the Sales and Listings Stats updated to the end of November 2013. November of this year saw a 38% increase in units sold compared to November 2012, albeit down 11% compared to October of this year in Greater Vancouver. November typically sees the real estate market wind down as we get closer to the holiday season. Total Active Listings are down 8% compared to this time last year.  Year to date, 2013 should finish 12 to 15% above 2012 for total units sold in Greater Vancouver. In their Fall Housing Market Outlook, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) outlined that existing home sales are expected to increase in 2014 by 8% with the market to remain in balanced conditions. This is to be supported with an increase in economic and job growth projected in 2014. Further strengthening in global economies will benefit Vancouver and help sustain economic growth. And of course, pent up demand in our housing market will continue to be a positive factor moving forward.

 

New for this month’s sales and listings stats is the addition of statistics for Burnaby, New Westminster, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, Tsawwassen and Ladner.
