March 2022 Lower Mainland Monthly Market Update

March 2022 Lower Mainland Monthly Market Update

March 2022 – Lower Mainland Monthly Update (REBGV & FVREB)

Metro Vancouver sales are moderate in February but still above 10 year average, and standing inventory continues to be the biggest challenge

The most reliable indicator of market prices is the Sales to Active Listings Ratio (SAL). This is the ratio between the number of sales in a given month and the number of active listings at month-end.

In hotter markets in BC, a long-term analysis has shown that prices will usually act in the following ways:

  • 7+ Months of Inventory (Under 14% SAL): Prices will likely DECLINE
  • 5 – 7 Months of Inventory (14% – 18% SAL): Prices will likely be STABLE
  • Less than 5.5 Months of Inventory (Over 18% SAL): Prices will likely RISE

Visit this link to learn more about house prices and inventory.

Sales

Metro Vancouver (combined @rebgv & @fvreb) sales continue to be strong, but show signs of slowing. 3rd highest February on record. 25% lower than in 2021, but 25% higher than the 10-year average.

Cumulative Year-to-date Sales

YTD sales have moderated from 2021, but are still the 3rd highest on record (2021 #1; 2016 #2).

Inventory

Standing inventory continues to be the biggest challenge. Lowest February inventory in a generation. 10,532 active listings are 20% below last year (12,478) and 40% below the 10-year average (17,039).

Sales to Active Listings

With a SAL of 50%, this indicates there is considerable support for higher prices.

Months of Inventory

Currently, there is only 2 months of inventory. Normally, there should be closer to 5 months.
