As expected sales and listing have substantially gone down, however over prices kept its earlier position with a small increase over March 2020. (+0.2%)
Total number of listed properties have slightly decreased in April, compared to March 2020 (-2.3%)
The overall sales of the properties went down substantially, which reflected to each category ina similar percentage (-39% vs. last April and -56% vs March 2020)
This month’s sales level is the lowest April sales since 1982, as a result of the extreme measures to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
The government of BC has announced the “BC’s Restart Plan” on May 6th, which advise a controlled opening of the economy. Again, the BC Government has listed the real estate among the ESSENTIAL services, which means that we will continue to offer services to meet the housing and shelter needs of the community.
