Downtown Vancouver Market Update July 4th – July 11th

Downtown listing supply rebounded in a big way this week after decreasing for two consecutive weeks previously; we saw 145 new attached listings downtown this week, which accounted for 54% of the aggregate 269 new attached listings across Vancouver West (a listing ratio increase from the 49% we saw downtown previously).  The high-density downtown core areas (including Gastown and downtown proper) led the way with some large gains, as we saw 60 new attached listings in the neighbourhood (up from the 37 new attached listings we saw last week). The newly labeled Yaletown neighbourhood (YA), again had a solid showing with 30 new attached listings (similar to the 28 new attached listings we saw last week), well Coal Harbour also trended upwards on the listing side with 21 new attached listings (a relatively big increase from the 10 new attached listings we saw the previous week). Overall, downtown saw a fairly sizable increase in listing activity with 145 new attached listings, up from the 95 new attached listings we had seen last week.

Coal Harbour’s Condos is proud to present an up-to-date and detailed market report for the downtown neighbourhoods from June 13th – June 20th.

Downtown Vancouver Market Update June 13th – June 20th

First order of business; the real estate board has re-classified an area of downtown in order to accomodate a ‘Yaletown’ tag, now registered as ‘YA’.  From here on in we’ll be looking at Yaletown as a unique listing and sales neighbourhood as opposed to a section of the downtown core (‘DT’ classification) as we have in the past.  Attached listing supply declined overall downtown this week after posting gains in the previous two periods; we saw 104 new attached listings in the downtown neighbourhoods, which accounted for roughly 49% of the aggregate 210 new attached listings we saw across Vancouver West.  Our new Yaletown (YA) area constitued 20 new attached listings or roughly 19% of all listing supply downtown; the remaining dense downtown core area (now composed of Gastown and downtown proper) led the way with 45 new attached listings or around 43% of all attached supply. Coal Harbour and False Creek North weakened on the supply side this week with 11 new attached listings in Coal Harbour and 6 new attached listings in False Creek North.  Of note, False Creek North also lost some of it’s listing area to the new Yaletown classification.
