VANCOUVER, B.C. – May 2, 2012 – Home sale and listing activity has maintained a consistent pace on the MultipleListing Service® (MLS®) in Greater Vancouver in recent months, which has helped create balanced conditions for the region’s housing market.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales in Greater Vancouver reached 2,799 on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in April 2012. This represents a 13.2 per cent decline compared to the 3,225 sales recorded in April 2011 and a decline of 2.6 per cent compared to the 2,874 sales in March 2012.

April sales were the lowest total for the month in the region since 2001 and 16.9 per cent below the 10-year April sales average of 3,369. “Although April sales were below what’s typical for the month, we continue to see, with a sales-to-active listing ratio of nearly 17 per cent, a balanced relationship between buyer demand and seller supply in our marketplace,” Eugen Klein, REBGV president said.

New listings for detached, attached and apartment properties in Greater Vancouver totalled 6,056 in April 2012. This represents a 3.6 per cent increase compared to both March 2012 when 5,843 homes were listed and April 2011 when 5,847 homes were listed for sale on the region’s MLS®.

Last month’s new listing total was 6.7 per cent above the 10-year average for listings in Greater Vancouver for April. At 16,538, the total number of homes listed for sale on the region’s MLS® increased 8.5 per cent in April compared to last month and increased 16 per cent from this time last year.

“Recent activity has had a stabilizing effect on home prices at the regional level, although pricing can vary depending on area and property type,” Klein said “To best understand conditions within your area of interest, it’s important to do your homework and consult a local REALTOR®.”

With all five major Canadian banks engaged in a war for home buyers attention, the Spring of 2012 is shaping up to be a great time to invest in Vancouver real estate.

From the Huffington Post article:

All five major banks are now offering fixed-rate mortgages for four or five years at 2.99 per cent.

The Bank of Montreal got the ball rolling earlier this week, announcing a five-year fixed rate mortgage at 2.99 per cent and an all-time record low for a 10-year fixed rate mortgage, at 3.99 per cent.

CIBC, TD Bank and RBC all followed suit on Thursday, and Scotiabank threw its hat into the ring on Friday, introducing a four-year fixed mortgage at 2.99 per cent.

If this is something you’ve been thinking about, now is the time to act. Contact Vancouver Realtor Justin Leigh today to find out more about investing in the Vancouver real estate market.

Classic touches and neutral tones provide a clean canvas for individual expression and evolving tastes. The materials you see and touch every day in your home define your living experience and help determine your quality of life. Begin personalizing your space immediately, choosing from one of two carefully curated palettes—light or dark—designed to complement the contemporary interior design.

Neutral tones provide a clean canvas to work with.

In the bathroom, modern fixtures and marble finishes offer a fresh feel. The glossy cabinetry shines against the room’s matte marble elements in classic Italian carrara gioia. In the ensuite variation, marble extends from the floor to the walls and plays off the glass shower door to open up the space.
In the kitchen, modern appliances and cabinetry blend seamlessly with the room’s contours and contemporary decor. Wall-mounted lacquer cabinetry cuts a sleek silhouette, eschewing hardware in favour of clean lines. Certain elements, including the refrigerator, are hidden from view behind cabinet façades. Other functional items—the cylindrical range hood in particular—are featured as sculptural centrepieces.

Mount Pleasant and the Main Street area have an abundance of restaurants, cafes, boutiques and grocery stores.
