Market Update March 2021

Dated: March 17 2021

Views: 23

The continued imbalance between supply and demand is putting upward pressure on home prices across the region. The REBGV reports that residential home sales in the region totalled 3,727 in February 2021, a 73.3% increase from the 2,150 sales recorded in February 2020, and a 56% increase from the 2,389 homes sold in January 2021. February sales were 42.8% above the 10-year sales average for the month.

As of March 2, The total number of homes currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver was 8,358, a 9.1% decrease compared to February 2020 and a 0.6% increase compared to January 2021. This is 21.2% below the February 10-year average for new listings. 

It's clear that restricted supply is creating competition between buyers and upward trends in pricing. If you're a seller, it's a great time to list your home, and you can contact me for a complimentary property valuation. If you're a buyer, you'll need the assistance of an experienced REALTOR® to create a strategy to succeed in this market. Whether you plan to buy, sell, or do both, I'm ready to assist and help you achieve your real estate goals.

Mortgage rates have moved up slightly over the last couple weeks so it's important that you lock into a preferred rate with a mortgage pre-approval. The rate at which homes are selling means you'll likely miss out on a property if your financing is not in place before beginning your search. Please get in touch if you'd like assistance getting started on the pre-approval process.

If you're ready to make a move, I'm ready to help.

 WHY BC ISN'T DOING ANYTHING TO COOL THE RED-HOT REAL ESTATE MARKET

Metro Vancouver’s housing market is red hot, with record sales, skyrocketing prices and outrageous bidding wars across the region. If you're hoping for the BC government to jump into the fray and wrestle the real estate sector back down into some semblance of normalcy, well, don’t hold your breath. We need supply, and plenty of it.

JUST LISTED & SOLD
221 2910 E Pender Street, East Vancouver
Offered at $679,000

In this red hot market I can sell properties faster than I can list them. We took this 2-bedroom condo in East Van from listed to sold in just 4 days. It's a great time to list if you've been considering a sale. Please get in touch if you'd like to receive a complimentary valuation on your property.
