Let me explain this little ratio thing. It’s calculated by dividing the number of sales by the number of listings. It gives us a snapshot of what percentage of the listings on the market are selling. We look at them both on a monthly (or weekly) basis and also year-to-date. Although there are divergent opinions, generally speaking, a sales-to-listing ratio of over 50% suggests that it is a SELLERS market. Under 40% is a BUYERS market and in between, is considered to be a BALANCED market.Right now, the sales to listing ratio in the Georgian Triangle is under 30% as one may expect. That means less than 30% of properties on the market are selling. It’s clearly a BUYERS market right now.
The Housing Price Index (HPI) is a tool developed by the Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley Real Estate Boards to measure residential market activity. It tracks and measures the movement of mid-range priced homes for a set time period and provides reliable information on housing price trends since it excludes extremely high and low priced properties.
