Vancouver Housing Market Shows Signs of Life

Scotiabank’s Economist’s real estate update:

Vancouver Housing Market Shows Signs of Life

  • Ahead of tomorrow’s Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) report for May 2019, we analyze conditions in the Vancouver housing market and estimate its home sales activity in that month.
  • Our preliminary seasonally-adjusted estimate of May 2019 Vancouver home sales indicates an increase of more than 25% versus April 2019, which would represent the strongest monthly climb since 1993.
  • It is too soon to tell whether that upturn would reflect the beginning of a rebound from Vancouver’s prolonged housing market slump, but we still anticipate stronger home buying activity as the year progresses.
