We would like to present ‘Westside Detached Stat Package’ for the week of August 4th – August 11th.
The Westside detached market continued to perform modestly in regards to both transaction volume and listing figures this past week. Sales transaction volume witnessed a resurgence after posting irregularly low numbers in the previous period, well new listing supply remained relatively static. New listings moved from 44 new detached active listings in the Vancouver West Region to 47. Sales volume posted a recovery this past week with 52 detached sales (to 29 the previous week). Not surprisingly, performance should remain relatively static through third quarter 2009 prior to a pre-Olympic surge in the late fourth quarter flowing into Q1 2010. Buyer competition remains active in these areas, and thus it may be a solid time to consider listing your home if you have been thinking about proceeding with a sale. The demand is especially acute in Kitsilano where supply has definitely tailed off – especially in the Kits Point areas, and other sectors north of W 4th Ave. Late summer tends to be a rather ‘down time’ for our detached markets due to family vacations, and relativly instability prior to the onset of the school year in September.

As we have predicted since the onset of Summer, the Westside detached activity continued to a relatively slow performance as we moved into August. The mid-to-late Summer months tend to be particularly low-periods for the detached markets due to social factors (ie / summer vacation, etc.) and thus we anticipate a further flattening of the market over July and August prior to a resurgence in the early-Fall which should carry us through Quarter 4 2009 and the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
