The Varying Activity Levels Across the Price Bands in East Vancouver Needs A Closer Look
Houses in East Vancouver priced $1.5M to $2M flew off the shelves at 118% as only 50 new listings were added while 59 traded hands in December 2021. For houses priced $2M to $3M in East Vancouver, the sales ratio drops gently to 18%. Houses in the $2.5M to $2.75M price band saw a spike up to 44%, however.
Once we get to the $3M and above price range for East Vancouver single family homes, the sales activities drop to only 1 sale amidst 71 new listings added (a pitiful 1.4% sales ratio). Compared to Vancouver Westside’s skewed inventory situation where 156 new listings were added with only 1 sale above the $6.5M band, the skewing of activity in East Vancouver is not as drastic, but the sharp increase in inventory in the higher price points and very low sales show a similar tale between the two Vancouvers.
