Market Spotlight: Downtown Condo Resales

Resales activity for Downtown Vancouver condos (including the West End, Coal Harbour and Yaletown) have remained steady in recent months, with an overall average since 2010 of 220 sales per month. June 2012 is on pace to be one of the slower months in recent memory, and at a projected 142 sales based on MLS statistics, is anticipated to be one of the slowest Junes since 2000.

It appears that a slowdown is forthcoming, but unlike some areas, Downtown Vancouver is not a submarket with a glut of inventory coming on the market. This should bode relatively well for pricing for both new and resale product moving forward despite any correction in the market.
