Mac Kenzie Heights

VANCOUVER WEST, BC

The sales-to-listings, or "S/L", ratio is a measure of balance between supply and demand in the market. It is calculated here as the number of home sales over the past 30 days divided by the current number of active listings. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver defines a market as being balanced when the S/L ratio is between 12% and 19%, a range where prices should be relatively stable. A seller's market is defined by a S/L ratio of 20% or higher, a situation that results in upward pressure on prices. A buyer's market is characterized by a S/L ratio below 12%, a situation that results in downward pressure on prices.
