Housing Sales and Prices Decline According to Latest Statistics
Vancouver Sun
 Elevated mortgage interest rates continue to impact real estate sales across B.C. according to statistics released by the BC Real Estate Association this week.
Sales continued to drop in most B.C. real estate markets. The largest declines were posted by real estate boards in the Fraser Valley, down 58.3 per cent, Greater Vancouver, down 53.5 per cent, and Chilliwack down 51.7 per cent.
The association said it marked a shift from strong seller’s markets into balanced markets, with sales-to-active listings between 12 and 20 per cent for most regions.
A total of 4,512 home sales were recorded in November by the Multiple Listing Service, down from more than 9,171 last November. While sales typically slow in the winter months, that figure is about 30 per cent below the historical average for the month.
