The Metro Vancouver* housing market saw steady home sales activity, modest increases in home listings, and continued upward trends in pricing in February.
The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential home sales in the region totaled 3,424 in February 2022, an 8.1 percent decrease from the 3,727 sales recorded in February 2021, and a 49.8 percent increase from the 2,285 homes sold in January 2022.
Last month’s sales were 26.9 percent above the 10-year February sales average.
