North Vancouver: Overall North Vancouver is continuing to see a steady decrease in the number of units sold and an increase in the number of units listed. The average price has risen slightly,however,despite this the HPI saw a decrease of 12% in April. Interesting to note, the number of active listings for condos and townhomes are over 100% more than what we were seeing last year. The number of sales are down considerably (36% for condos and 17% for townhomes), and the number of days on market are up over 44%. With the continuing decrease in sales for all property types, and the increase in the number of listings, this is indeed becoming a Buyer’s market.
