Highest & Lowest Absorption Rates Vancouver Houses

The most popular price bands were in a relatively modest price category, while the number of luxury listings added was much higher. The more accessible price points were snapped up quickly in October: 

1. Vancouver homes priced $1.5m to $2.5m moved at 82% (23/28)
2. Vancouver homes priced $2.5m to $3.5m moved at 37% (40/109)
3. Vancouver homes priced $3.5m to $7.5m moved at 13% (45/359)
4. Vancouver homes priced $7.5m and up moved at 3% (5/144)

The gradual increase in supply in higher price bands, as well as the inverting (decreasing) sales number is notable. How will this inventory of ultra luxury homes disperse in the next few months? Time will tell. 

Slower Activity When Comparing To East Vancouver House Sales

East Vancouver’s sales ratio of detached homes was double (34%) of Vancouver Westside’s, while the average sale price was $1.85M (just more than half), for comparison.
