We’re seeing signs that the standoff between buyers and sellers is coming to an end. Open houses are busier, listing inquiries are through the roof, and we’re experiencing more first-time homebuyers putting pen to paper than over the last 6 months, especially in these first few weeks of March
Sales are still down over last year by about 30% in Greater Vancouver; 27% in Vancouver West, 24% in North Vancouver and a whopping 51% in West Vancouver.

Sellers need to take all market factors into consideration before listing their properties for sale. There are many communities out preforming others and more listings are being staged than ever before. Contact us for more information on how to effectively market you home.
