Vancouver Housing Market “Vulnerable” to a “Downturn”:

Bank of Canada

Opinion: Proposal to Raise Minimum Down Payment

is Nonsensical

More Buyers Turning to Social Media for Mortgage

Information: Survey

Greater Vancouver’s home sales in May were up 17.6 per cent compared with the same month last year,

although slightly down compared with March and April, the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reported June 2.

May’s residential real estate sales totalled 4,769, a rise of 17.3 per cent year over year, but 0.3 per cent lower than April when 4,781 units were sold across the region. That April fi gure was a drop of 7.6 cent compared with March 2016, when an all-time high of 5,173 homes were sold in Greater Vancouver.

Broken down by property type, 1,865 single-family homes exchanged hands in May, which is a rise of 8.2 per cent from the 1,723 sales recorded in April 2015, but a 5.8 per cent drop compared with April’s 1,979 detached house sales.

Unlike in April, townhouse and other

attached home transactions also increased year over year in May, totalling 754 sales. This was a lift of 2.9 per cent over the 733 units in May 2015, and a jump of 9.9 per cent compared with April’s 695 townhome sales.

Condo-apartment unit sales continued to see blistering annual increases, as 2,150 units exchanged hands in May 2016, a leap of 34.4 per cent compared with the 1,600 sales in May 2015. This was also a two per cent increase over April 2016’s fi gure or 2,107 sales.

Property inventory expanded somewhat in May, with new listings for all home types in Metro Vancouver up 11.5 per cent to 6,289, compared with the 5,641 properties listed in May 2015. This was a rise of 2.6 per cent compared with the 6,127 new listings in April 2016.

The improvement meant that total active listings as of the end of May were 7,726,

up 2.3 per cent compared with April’s active listings, although the fi gure was still down 37.3 per cent year over year.

“Home sellers are becoming more active in recent months, although that activity is being outpaced by home buyer demand today,” said Dan Morrison, REBGV president.

Benchmark PricesThe combined residential property

type benchmark price in Metro Vancouver raised the bar again in May, at $889,100 – a year-over-year rise of 29.7 per cent.

The region’s typical detached home is now priced at $1,513,800, a hike of 36.9 per cent compared with the same month last year, and yet again the sharpest price rise of all the home types. This was a rise of nearly 8 per cent since just the previous month. Again, these fi gures mask wide variation between areas, with Vancouver

West’s family homes selling for a typical $3.4 million, and prices going down to a typical $445,000 on the Sunshine Coast.

Townhome or other attached unit benchmark prices in Greater Vancouver increased 24.9 per cent over May 2015 to $632,400, up 3.9 per cent compared with April.

Condo-apartment benchmark prices rose 22.3 per cent from May 2015 to $485,000. This property type increased in price by 2.1 per cent compared with April. West Vancouver posted the highest condo prices in May at $851,800, with condos in Maple Ridge typically going for $187,100.

Home prices vary widely throughout the REBGV region. To get a good idea of home prices in a specifi c location, check the detailed MLS® Home Price Index in the REBGV full May 2016 statistics package at www.rebgv.org

Looking for a newhome? Start here.

Calling it “a fusion of modern and historic architecture unmatched in the city,” Tracie McTavish,

executive director at Rennie Marketing Systems, says that 8X ON THE PARK’s unique design is a fi rst in Vancouver.

“It is also the only building that sits beside Emery Barnes Park,” adds McTavish. “There are many cool architec-turally designed buildings in Vancouver but very few make such a bold statement as 8X ON THE PARK.”

The mixed-use, 35-storey LEED gold certifi ed “three-building” tower was designed by the forward-thinking gBL Architects to refl ect the vibe of this excit-ing district – modern, sophisticated, artistic-inspired living.

8X ON THE PARK features 321 homes, ranging from a small selection of pieds-a-terre, one-, two- and three bedroom homes, which will include 121 luxury rental units.

“What also makes 8X ON THE PARK quite distinctive is that we off er a large number of three-bedroom homes,” says McTavish, adding that this is rare in most condominium buildings.

Thoughtfully designed, Ada Bonini of BYU Design was tasked with decorating the two show homes.

“I took my inspiration from the form and shape of the building,” says the principal of BYU. “With such a bold contemporary design, it required a bold statement inside. There is also such a strong feeling of luxury here so we want-ed to paint that sense of luxury using a palette of greys, white and charcoal tones … think a fi ne cashmere sweater or stunning black-and-white photography.”

Each home embraces opulence, com-plete with marble and Quartz stone in both kitchens and bathrooms, pull-out pantries with integrated LED lighting, high end Miele and Sub-Zero stainless

steel appliances, air conditioning, wide plank engineered oak hardwood fl ooring, in-fl oor Nu-Heat in master bathrooms and Italian-made Binova cabinetry.

“The kitchens also have steam ovens, a great feature for West Coast living,” adds Bonini. “There is lots of great light-ing in these homes, not just to accentu-ate functionality but to highlight beauti-ful ambient lighting as well.”

All residents will have private access to the 35th-fl oor wrap-around Sky Lounge and Fitness Centre, off ering state-of-the-art equipment, amenity room and lounge with kitchenette, as well as a landscaped outdoor terrace with a covered deck, a common dining area, a storage shed and potting bench for a rooftop garden.

McTavish went on to say that family-owned Brenhill Development Ltd, a local developer with more than four decades of experience, wanted to ensure the tower was as green as possible. 8X ON

THE PARK will be outfi tted with an exten-sive use of both thermal glazing and sun shading, geo-exchange heat pumps and high-effi ciency fan coil units in each home.
