It seems that you average sale price have been holding up, but if i get the chart right the actives have come down seasonally but the list to sold ratio is low.
Are you having the same problem as we are in the US?

Yeah, the average sale price in Downtown Vancouver has held up nicely. Actives have fallen considerably, as has the list to sold ratio.

We haven`t had the same problems you`ve had in the US. However, I think that the end of our market cycle has been a direct result of what`s happened to the south of us. As your market and economy headed into negative territory, so did our market and consumer sentiment. The result has been the end of the Vancouver real estate market`s strong bull run.
