Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reports January housing sales up 42.4 percent from same month in 2019
The number of residential real-estate transactions last month remained 7.3 percent below the 10-year average for January, according to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. But sales last month were still a whopping 42.4 percent above the figure recorded in January 2019, when the housing market was in the doldrums. “We’ve begun 2020 with steady home buyer demand that tracks close to the region’s long-term average,” REBGV president Ashley Smith said in a news release. “Looking at supply, we’re seeing fewer homes listed for sale than is typical for this time of year. As we approach the traditionally more active spring market, we’ll keep a close eye on supply to see if the number of homes being listed is keeping pace with demand.”

Ethics in the Real Estate Industry
This month’s market brief is focused on the negative press in the news about Vancouver’s real estate market. There is lots to be said about what’s happening in our market. Everyone agrees it’s out of control, but there is little agreement about what to do about it. The article in the Globe and Mail exposed a reality that many residents were perhaps not fully aware of and how some unscrupulous folks are taking advantage of that. Read our response to the article:

Vancouver's Real Estate Mania
On January 29th, 2016, Vancouver went crazy. The story of a humble 86-year-old home in Vancouver’s Point Grey neighbourhood was widely circulated by national media outlets and became a lightning rod for local frustration with skyrocketing property values. The “knockdown”, with its rotting walls and $2.4 million asking price, perfectly underscored how crazy the region’s overheated housing market had gotten. A month later, the house was sold for $80,000 above its asking price, rekindling public outrage. How did Vancouver reach this point? This infographic’s purpose is to connect the dots between Vancouver’s history of speculation, demographic waves, public policy, and external pressures that have all had a hand in shaping today’s hot real estate market in the city. Let’s start at the very beginning…

Inflammatory Vancouver Sun Story Stirs Up West Van Residents
I have written many times in this newsletter about how the “news” can make a REALTOR®’s ’ job harder than it already is. In my experience, reporters tend to report on the extreme and take “the story”, assuming there even is one, to a different level all-together, adding fuel to the already volatile public opinion.
