Time and time again we hear that the real estate market in Vancouver is confusing. I'm not so sure that it is. There are definitely confusing aspects of the market, at any point in time. It can be very confusing when listening to conflicting opinions on where the market is headed but generally speaking the market is not that confusing. Hopefully I can clear things up! In this video I go over the April 2024 stats, discussing listing and sales in East Vancouver and Vancouver West as well as the stats for the Lower Mainland.

In this video I talk about the Spring Market which is typically our busiest time of year. Is that the case in 2024? I also touch on the landscape of mortgage rates. Are you holding out for lower rates? Why?

Make sure you're getting the right advice by analyzing both sides of the coin. If you're actively in the market to buy or sell real estate in Vancouver try to avoid headlines and instead seek market information for the property type, price point and neighbourhood(s) you want to move to or from.

Activity in the Vancouver real estate market has picked up quite a bit when compared to 2023. In February we saw more listings come to market however we also saw much more sales which means we are still yearning for more inventory.

Welcome to our latest update on the Greater Vancouver real estate market with Brittany! Despite a sluggish 2023, buyers wasted no time in pursuing their real estate goals in 2024. Our observations indicate a notable surge in activity, signalling pent-up demand following the preceding year's subdued market performance. In January alone, we witnessed an uptick in sales, with a staggering 38% increase compared to the same period in 2023. That being said, those figures still remain significantly lower than the 10-year average. Moreover, the market saw a 14.5% rise in newly listed properties which is also below the 10 year average for this time of year.

One of the worst mistakes a seller can make is to overprice their property. We don't see this everyday in the Vancouver real estate market but often enough where I wanted to share some ideas on how to price your property correctly.

Being Thoroughly Prepared is Paramount

Are you contemplating the prospect of buying or selling a property in Vancouver in 2024? It's not uncommon for individuals to find themselves less prepared than anticipated. Although we are still in the early stages of the year, there is a palpable buzz in the real estate market. Fixed mortgage rates have seen a decline, and there is an expectation that the Bank of Canada will continue to lower rates throughout the year. While the decrease will not match the previous increases, forecasts suggest a potential drop of 1%-1.5% by year-end. The prevailing sentiment indicates a preference for lower interest rates over higher home prices. As rates decline, prospective buyers will gain more confidence, intensifying…
