VANRE Market Update - July 2019

*|MC:SUBJECT|*
"HOME SALES INCREASE IN JULY"
Sales Improved for July 2019! Still 7.8% below the 10 year sale average for the Vancouver Board, they were on par for Fraser Valley Board. However, month over month, sales were up 23% in Vancouver and almost 12% in The Valley. Lower interest rates, fewer new listings and an increase in demand should alleviate some of the downward pressure on the market in the months to come.
VANCOUVER BOARD
  • Demand for housing decreased 23.1% from June to July 2019.  Year over year sales up 23.5%, and 7.8% below the 10 year average. 
  • New listings decreased June to July 2.9%, down 3.3% from July 2018, but overall inventory is up 17.3% year over year. 
  • The sale-to-active-listings ratio is 18% - a balanced market for condos, townhouses, and detached properties. 
  • Detached prices are down about 9.4% from a year ago, with condos and townhouses down about 0.3%.

FRASER VALLEY BOARD
  • Sales were up 11.6% from June 2019 and up 13% from June 2018. 
  • Year over year, inventory is up 12.7%.
  • A sales-to-active listings ratio of about 17.5% indicates that the Fraser Valley Market is balanced. 
  • Detached prices are down 6.3%, townhouses down 0.9%, and condos down 9% year over year.
While not a huge decrease, the Banks lowered the B-20 stress test from 5.34% to 5.19% last month - don't expect a huge rebound.

164,000 new jobs were added in the US, 16,000 of them in manufacturing and the fed cut the interest rate .25%.  In Canada, 24000 jobs were shed from the Canadian economy last month and GDP growth remains stalled at less then 1% while predicting a little more then 1% by the end of the year - well below the US and world markets.
