Hello and welcome to our Pinnacle Group Real Estate Marketing November 2016 Newsletter. As always, thank you for taking the time to read our monthly PGREM update, we hope that it proves to be informative for you! While the local real estate market in the Tri-Cities has experienced a shift in buyer demand, a decrease in single family detached home sales activity has not resulted in a significant decrease in home prices. If you are thinking of buying or selling, please contact us so that we can discuss your personal short and long-term goals and the best real estate strategy to achieve them in today’s market! Highlights Reduced home sale and listing activity in October 2016 is changing real estate market dynamics in communities across Metro Vancouver according to the latest News Release on November 2, 2016 by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. Residential property sales in the region totalled 2,233 in October 2016, a 38.8 per cent decrease from the 3,646 sales recorded in October 2015 and a 0.9 per cent decrease compared to September 2016 when 2,253 homes sold. Last month’s sales were 15 per cent below the 10-year October sales average. “Changing market conditions compounded by a series of government interventions this year have put home buyers and sellers in a holding pattern,” Dan Morrison, Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) president said. “Potential buyers and sellers are taking a wait-and- see approach to try and better understand what these changes mean for them.” This wait-and-see approach by buyers is also evident across the Tri-Cities real estate market with sharp declines in residential detached sales over the past several months. Prices have however held fairly steady. New listing and marketing strategies are required to maximize a homes sale potential by specifically targeting todays existing group of motivated buyers.
