News Release
        



FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 
 


Market activity offers awaited relief for homebuyers
  


 


VANCOUVER, B.C. –
July 3, 2008 –Increased property listings and moderating home prices
have eased the Greater Vancouver housing market into a buyer’s phase.
The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that
residential property sales in Greater Vancouver declined 42.9 per cent
in June 2008 to 2,425 from the 4,244 sales recorded in June 2007. 


      New listings
for detached, attached and apartment properties increased 18.3 per cent
to 6,546 in June 2008 compared to June 2007, when 5,533 new units were
listed. 


      “Although
housing prices, on a year-over-year comparison, continue to show
single-digit percentage increases, we are beginning to see more price
reductions in properties listed on the market today,” said REBGV
president, Dave Watt. 
“Homes priced at a competitive level continue to sell quickly, but it
is important for people to accurately identify their home’s value when
putting it on the market.”


      Sales of
detached properties in June 2008 declined 43.4 per cent to 918 from the
1,623 units sold during the same period in 2007. The benchmark price,
as calculated by the MLSLink Housing Price Index®, for detached
properties rose 7 per cent from June 2007 to $765,654.


      Sales of
apartment properties declined 42.7 per cent last month to 1,057,
compared to 1,846 sales in June 2007. The benchmark price of an
apartment property increased 7.8 per cent from June 2007 to $388,722. 

      Attached
property sales in June 2008 decreased 41.9 per cent to 450, compared
with the 775 sales in June 2007. The benchmark price of an attached
unit increased 7.6 per cent between June 2007 and 2008 to $476,585.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales in Greater Vancouver declined 30.7 per cent in May 2008 to 3,002 from the 4,331 sales recorded in May 2007.


New listings for detached, attached and apartment properties increased 20.2 per cent to 7,390 in May 2008 compared to May 2007, when 6,149 new units were listed.


“With more property listings and a decline in the number of sales, prices are not increasing as rapidly, now down to single digits overall, which is good news from an affordability standpoint,” said REBGV president, Dave Watt. “The housing market is at a balanced state, sellers have more competition and buyers have more selection to choose from."


Sales of detached properties in May 2008 declined 33.4 per cent to 1,203 from the 1,805 sales recorded during the same period in 2007. The benchmark price, as calculated by the MLSLink Housing Price Index®, for detached properties rose 8.4 per cent from May 2007 to $771,250.

Harbour waterfront, was extensively customized during the original
construction of the complex in 2002/3. Designer/Architect team, Pat and
Chart McCullough, helped the current owners to reconfigure aspects of
the original design, and upgrade most finishing elements in the suite.
Their aim was to both optimize the dramatic views of Coal Harbour, the
north shore mountains, and the marina, and to provide ample storage and
functional interior design for the owners, who were transitioning from
a single family home to an apartment. The consideration evident in the
changes made to the entry hall, laundry and storage areas, the kitchen,
nook and dining room, combined with the high caliber of finishing
details is indicative of the care taken in planning this lovely space.
This special property will be sure to delight its next fortunate owners.
