This past week the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver released their news report on the past month of May. A couple points from the article I thought worth pointing out; The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales in Greater Vancouver reached 2,882 on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in May 2013. This represents a one per cent increase compared to the 2,853 sales recorded in May 2012, and a 9.7 per cent increase compared to the 2,627 sales in April 2013. As well the REBGV president said “We’ve seen some steadying trends over the last three months. The number of homes listed for sale has been keeping pace with the number of property sales, leading to a balanced sales-to-listings ratio. This is having a stabilizing influence on home price activity.” To view the full news release from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver please visit the board’s website.
Many of you have recently received your property tax information in the mail, do not forget to return the home owner grant (or with most municipalities you are now able to claim it online) before the deadline.
