Apartment sales have dropped by about 19%, contributing to an overall decrease of 8% in home sales compared to last year, and sitting 25% below the 10-year seasonal average. Interestingly, detached and attached homes have remained more resilient, highlighting clear differences between property types across our region.<\/p>\n<p>New listings are down 10% year-over-year to 5,900, but still sit about 6% above the 10-year average. Active inventory reached 16,400 homes, which is 24% higher than what we typically see long-term. The sales-to-active listings ratio hovers around 11%, just under the 12% threshold often linked to ongoing price pressure in Vancouver\u2019s history. Benchmark prices are near $1.08M, a 6% decrease year-over-year, with all segments collectively down about 3% since the start of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Helping clients navigate such a nuanced market is where attention to detail truly matters.
