the rennie advance - October 2019

Greater Vancouver's housing market continued to strengthen in September. Year-over-year sales rose by 46%, which was the largest increase since March 2015; meanwhile, year-over-year inventory declined by 4%, which was the first contraction since March 2018. As a reflection of these changing dynamics, median prices have shown signs of stabilizing in 2019.  The latest rennie advance provides a summary of sales and listings trends in the Greater Vancouver board area, compiled and released by our rennie intelligence team ahead of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver Stats. Our rennie intelligence team comprises our in-house demographer, senior economist, and market analysts.
