7月に入ってもグレーターバンクーバーの不動産売買は活況で、合計で3,978軒が売買されました。これは昨年比で約30%の延びとなっています。要因は引き続き低い売り物件数で、例年だと1万6000～7000軒ある売り物件総数が、今年は1万1000軒前後で推移している事が最も大きく、消費者の経済への信頼、安心度の高さや、低金利と重なって価格の上昇に拍車をかけています。但し、これら年間10%以上の伸び率は一戸建て物件に限られ、コンドミニアムやタウンハウスなどは平均して5%弱ですので、まだまだチャンスがございます。

Sales of homes in the Vancouver metro were running at about a third more than the 10-year average in July despite inventory remaining tight.　There were 3,978 sales through the MLS during the month, a 30 per cent increase compared to the same time in 2014 but 9.1 per cent lower than June 2015.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver figures show that new listings were higher than a year ago; there were 5,112, up 3.8 per cent year over year; but the total number of listings was 26.3 per cent lower than a year ago and 5.5 per cent lower than June 2015.

“Much of today’s activity can be traced to strong consumer confidence, low interest rates and a reduced supply of homes for sale,” said REBGV president Darcy McLeod. “We have about 5,000 to 6,000 fewer homes for sale today than we’ve seen at this time of year over the last five to six years.”

The MLS Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $700,500. This represents an 11.2 per cent increase compared to July 2014.　With the sales-to-active-listings ratio at 34.6 per cent, the region remains in seller’s market　territory.
