Eastside neighbourhoods that were low on desirability are now on the radar of those who can no longer afford to buy on Vancouver Westside.

The long summer caused that buyers don’t have to run to the beach to enjoy the sun. Instead they are making offers on the available properties.

The benchmark detached home price in Westside of Vancouver is now $2,600,000, partly because of buyers with international lifestyle.

Sellers are still in the driver’s seat in real estate sales for May 2015 – especially in Vancouver and Toronto, the two hot markets in Canada.

The merriment in the real estate market has swept up sellers in every price range and category. Prices rise in relation to abundance.

Sellers are in the ascendant. April 2015 sales in the Metro Vancouver market were knocked out of the proverbial park.

March certainly blew into the real estate market and exploded price records in Vancouver: sales were up 26.8% above the ten year sales average.

The real estate market has been busy, Vancouver and Toronto prices are going up but there has been fall off in other places like Calgary.

Lots of excitement in the real estate market. Vancouver and Toronto prices are up and listings are down according to the February statistics.

The Vancouver real estate market keeps motoring on still on its upward trajectory: January 2015 sales were 14.9 % above the 10 year average.

Metro Vancouver housing had a banner December 2014 with the benchmark price for detached homes coming in at over $1million.

As the price line continues to rise in Metro Vancouver real estate prices affordability is the big catchword in the current municipal elections.

Lots of talk about an overheated, unaffordable real estate market in Vancouver. Lots of speculation about a housing bubble.

Buyers have not gone on holiday. The real estate market is much more active than is usual in the lazy hazy days of summer

The real estate market is not tapering off for the summer. The pressure on the market is like the effects of climate change in the country.
