Waiting for Vancouver Real Estate Prices to Come Down?
It may pay to take a great deal now to avoid the rush tomorrow! Sellers will become much less negotiable at the first sign of market improvement…that’s likely when all the buyers will come out…to late!
There are currently 423 Homes for sale in all of North Vancouver. Of these properties 78 are below the $700,000 price point, 20 of which are under $600,000! All positive signs for buyers who have been patiently waiting in the sidelines for real estate to cool down. With the Olympics just 1 year away and the stock markets showing signs of a rebound, buyers must be aware of how quickly a market can turn around.

Well it’s no secret that the Vancouver Real Estate Market’s jets have certainly cooled. Housing price reductions across Greater Vancouver over the last six months have eliminated price gains witnessed in the first quarter of 2008. Sales of apartment properties in October 2008 declined 52.7 per cent to 647, compared to 1,368 sales in October 2007.
“Home sales are not keeping pace with the positive economic conditions in BC,” said REBGV president, Dave Watt. “That’s a direct result of a loss of consumer confidence in the overall market. Accordingly, today’s housing market is characterized by moderating home prices and wide selection. It’s definitely a buyer’s market.”
Vancouver Home Inspector James Dobney is one of the premier home inspection firms that we often refer our home buyers to use for their home inspection.
