Mr.Downtown Statistcs Update : Sales to Listing Ratios March 16 - March 23

by Matthew Keevil @ 03-23-2009

Back
We have compiled sales and listings statistics for the period running from March 16th to March 23rd, and released them in this easy to read format! If you have any further questions or require more detail please get in touch with us. Entrance level buyers continued to actively browse the market as showing activity again increased this week, and sales remained at a higher benchmark as we move into early Spring. In turn, we have seen an increase in mid-grade listing and sales activity. Typically, as entry level property begins to move, we see upwards momentum, which influences the middle to upper tier properties.  We saw a slight decrease in new listings this past week (approximately -20), and another jump in sales activity. This demonstrates the continuation of the ‘tightening up’ of the downtown market (and Vancouver West markets in general). As mentioned, we expect the increased buyer activity and great lending conditions to result in an increase in sales as we continue into Spring. Listing versus Sales update for March 16th - March 23rd

170
new listings in the Vancouver West Region with 85 (50%) falling in the downtown areas (including: West End, Downtown, Coal Harbour, and False Creek North sub-areas).


New Listings Per Sub-Area:

TOTAL : 85

94 total sales in the Vancouver West Region with 49 (52%) falling in the downtown areas.

Sales Per Sub-Area:

TOTAL : 49

Sales spiked this past week, moving from 76 sales to 94; the number remains well below seasonal norms though we are getting closer, and have seen stronger sales movement continue through early-Spring. As stated previously there has been an influx of buyer activity over the past month and a half, as more individuals seem to be looking at price depreciation and favorable mortgage conditions. The sales to listing ratio also remained strong this past week sitting at [94 : 170] or 56% - finally breaking the 50% mark!
