Q2 [APRIL - JUNE] 2024
In June, sellers were more active than buyers despite the Bank of Canada lowering rates. Consequently, inventory has started to accumulate to pre-pandemic levels, with double-digit year-over-year increases in both North and West Vancouver.
Overall, we describe the market as ‘inconsistent.’ While sought-after and well-priced homes are selling, many others are taking longer to sell and requiring price adjustments to attract buyers. This is common in a balancing market and is likely being accentuated by seasonal trends, as summer is typically less active.
It has been suggested that we could see another rate change in July. Although this may encourage some buyers to enter the market, we typically observe more urgency when rates are rising rather than falling. Therefore, if the next rate change is modest, we don’t anticipate it having a significant impact on market activity. Instead, if inventory continues to outpace demand, sales may further soften.
