Real Estate Market Report

Metro Vancouver home sales set an VANCOUVER, B.C. In a year when the number of homes listed for sale was below historical averages, actual home sales in Metro Vancouver set a new record.

The number of residential properties listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in 2015 reached 57,249. This is an increase of 2.1 per cent compared to the 56,066 properties listed in 2014 and an increase of 4.6 per cent compared to the 54,742 properties listed in 2013.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that 2015 home sales were the highest annual total in REBGV history. This was powered early in the year by four straight months with more than 4,000 sales a month from March to June, another first for REBGV.

With sales-to-active-listings ratios above 25 per cent for 11 months in 2015, the Metro Vancouver market experienced seller’s market conditions for much of the year.

Sales of detached, attached and apartment properties in 2015 reached 42,326, a 27.8 per cent increase from the 33,116 sales recorded in 2014, and a 48.4 per cent increase over the 28,524 residential sales in 2013.

The total number of homes listed for sale on the MLS® in 2015 ranked fifth in the last ten years, while the MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) saw double-digit year-over-year price increases.

"Home buyers were active and motivated throughout 2015 despite the pressure on supply of homes on the market," Darcy McLeod, REBGV president said. "Housing markets typically experience quieter periods within a calendar year, but that wasn't the case in Metro Vancouver last year."

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver ends the year at $760,900. This represents an 18.9 per cent increase compared to December 2014.

all-time record in 2015 “We often hear economists say that seller’s market conditions put upward pressure on home prices,” McLeod said. “That was certainly the case in 2015, with price increases ranging from 14 to 24 per cent depending on property type.”

December summary Residential property sales in Greater Vancouver totalled 2,827 in December 2015, an increase of 33.6 per cent from the 2,116 sales recorded in December 2014 and a 19.8 per cent decline compared to November 2015 when 3,524 home sales occurred.

New listings for detached, attached and apartment properties in Greater Vancouver totalled 2,021 in December 2015. This represents a 7 per cent increase compared to the 1,888 units listed in December 2014 and a 40.4 per cent decline compared to November 2015 when 3,392 properties were listed.

The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 6,024, a 41.6 per cent decline compared to December 2014 and a 25.6 per cent decrease compared to November 2015.

Sales of detached properties in December 2015 reached 1,136, an increase of 36.4 per cent from the 833 detached sales recorded in December 2014. The benchmark price for detached properties increased 24.3 per cent from December 2014 to $1,248,600.

Sales of apartment properties reached 1,225 in December 2015, an increase of 34.3 per cent compared to the 912 sales in December 2014.The benchmark price of an apartment property increased 14 per cent from December 2014 to $436,200.

Attached property sales in December 2015 totalled 466, an increase of 25.6 per cent compared to the 371 sales in December 2014. The benchmark price of an attached unit increased 13.6 per cent from December 2014 to $543,700.

Saxon Convenient and Friendly Neighbourhood Living

B

urnaby’s Edmonds neighbourhood is easy to get around, by vehicle, foot or transit. Increasingly, there are many shops, services and other facilities that are encouraging residents to get out and explore their neighbourhood. The beautiful Edmonds Community Centre is reason alone to take another look at this great area, with easy connections to neighbouring New Westminster, highways, and public transit.

New to the neighbourhood is Saxon, a boutique condominium development with just 20 homes on three residential levels. With a convenient location over retail services, homes are selling quickly with buyers who come and visit the neighbourhood. Edmonds is lined with many independent shops and services, and has easy access to SkyTrain and a bus loop on 20th Street.

“Our location is a big hit with homebuyers at Saxon, who have been quite excited about the mountain view from our higher elevation. The access to transit is a big plus, and the entire area is very walkable for both leisure and day-to-day activities,” says Heather Hodgson, sales manager for Saxon. “Deer Lake has recreation for the entire family, and the High Gate shopping area is a great one-stop place to get errands crossed off the list.”

A trip west leads further into Burnaby, for outdoor activity at Central Park or never-ending shopping at Metropolis at Metrotown. Head south toward New Westminster, and discover the New Westminster Quay’s amazing indoor food court or upstairs Circus School, or visit Queen’s Park for children’s fun, sporting events or even community theatre with the Vagabond Players.

“In addition to great homes with super-low maintenance fees, Saxon is also off ering the chance to live in a friendly community, where neighbours know each other by name as well as face,” says Hodgson. “The entire building, including ground level, has an airy, open feel, with great use of exterior colours and architecture that provides a modern West Coast appeal.

Saxon is off ered by Crystal View Developments, a local developer building throughout the Lower Mainland since 1992. The company specializes in building wood-frame condominiums, townhomes, and mixed-use multi-storey buildings. Crystal View Developments recognizes the importance of buying a home with confi dence in the decision to own, as well as the purchase itself, and are committed to using the fi nest materials, skilled trades and meticulous quality controls to create homes of exceptional livability and lasting value.

There are areas in a city where people merely live. Then there are neighbourhoods. Like “The Heights.” Similar to fine wine, it keeps getting better over time, becoming even more treasured the longer one lives there.

With a street presence reflecting contemporary west coast homes, the design of Verdi has been influenced by three principles: form, function and superior quality.

Here’s what our residents are saying about the Cottages.

“The setting is simply stunning, the cycling is gorgeous and safe, there are wonderful hikes to explore, and there are fish just waiting to be hooked.

But what we have discovered while building at The Cottages, is the wonderful community – a caring“family” of homeowners, reminiscent of the small towns in the Maritimes where I grew up. It was the location and setting that brought us to The Cottages, but it is the vibrant and welcoming community that will keep us here.”
