BCREA Housing Market Update for November 2020

BCREA has released it’s latest Housing Market Update for November 2020. BC Real Estate Association’s Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson discusses the October 2020 statistics.

Home sales in BC hit a monthly record and it was the 4th consecutive month with over 10,000 sales in the province. Supply of homes are still trending lower across BC, total active listings are down 14%. BC is solidly in Sellers Market territory. When this happens it often results in acceleration of prices to the upside. Buyers have preferred properties with more space causing the average price to increase 12.5% year over year to $812,000 due to more single family home sales.

In Kamloops, there were 337 unit sales for October 2020 which is a 23.4% change year over year. The average price also increased 11.4% to $466,113. The number of active listings for October was 1,173 which is a 5.5% increase over the year before. There is 3.5 months worth of inventory.

“The Unusual World of Pandemic Economics”: Why BC’s Housing Market Remains Strong Despite COVID-19, BCREA

Vancouver, BC – Septemeber 9, 2020. The British Columbia Real Estate Association’s (BCREA) latest Market Intelligence report, The Unusual World of Pandemic Economics, points to uneven job losses across sectors, an increase in many households’ rate of savings, swift government aid, a tighter-than-ever housing supply and low interest rates as the drivers behind BC’s recent housing market highs.

“The COVID-19 recession has battered many sectors of the BC economy. However, looking at recent data in the housing market, it would be difficult to tell there was a recession at all,” says BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson. “In a typical recession, we would see falling demand and rising supply, but this recession is anything but typical.”

Previous BCREA forecasts anticipated housing prices would return to the pre-COVID-19 baseline in early 2021. However, a surge of pent-up demand into an undersupplied market has prices at pre-COVID-19 levels well ahead of schedule.

“Pandemic economics are proving to be very unusual. Many of the trends we are seeing are without precedent and significant uncertainty remains, but we are cautiously optimistic that this housing recovery will continue,” notes Ogmundson.

The average MLS® residential price in BC was $770,810, a 12.9 per cent increase from $682,702 recorded the previous year.

“The strong recovery in sales activity continued in July,” said BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson. “Increased demand for more living space combined with an undersupplied market is producing significant upward pressure on home prices, particularly in the market for single-family homes.”

Active listings remain down significantly year-over-year, creating upward pressure on prices, though increased demand for single-family homes has somewhat skewed average prices in some markets.

Year-to-date, BC residential sales dollar volume was up 8.4 per cent to $32.5 billion, compared with the same period in 2019. Residential unit sales were down 1.4 per cent to 43,718 units, while the average MLS® residential price was up 10 per cent to $754,842.
