Weekly Vancouver MLS Real Estate Statistics - November 9th 2009

This past week saw the Vancouver real market slow substantially. New Listings and Sales both fell significantly while there was also a slight decrease in the Active Listings. Much of the decrease, I believe can be attributed to the fact that Rememberance Day fell in the middle of the week.

New Listings – Vancouver

For the second straight week the number of New Listings dropped (and the fifth time in the last seven weeks). There were 299 New Listings  in the previous week and that dropped to 275 this past week  (-8.03%).

Home Sales – Vancouver

For just the second time in the last five weeks Sales fell.  Sales dropped(-22.57%) to 223 from 288.

Sell/List Ratio – Vancouver

The Sell/List ratio fell from the high of the previous week. It fell (-15.23) to81.09% from 96.32%.

Price Change – Vancouver

Price changes fell (-1.77%) to 111 from 113 in the previous week.

Active Listings – Vancouver

For the third week in a row the number of Active Listings dropped. Active Listings fell (-0.75%) to 3159 from 3183.

The Bottom Line

Despite a drop in Sales and New Listings, the week was still relatively strong. The Sell/List ratio remained high and above 80%. Meanwhile the Active Listings continued their drop. I suspect that they next few weeks will likely still be strong.
