BCREA: Pent-up Demand Continues to Build as Sales Remain Slow

Vancouver, BC – April 15, 2024. The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) reports that a total of 6,460 residential unit sales were recorded in Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) systems in March 2024, a decline of 9.5 per cent from March 2023. The average MLS® residential price in BC in March 2024 was up 6.5 per cent at $1.02 million, compared to an average price of $958,051 in March 2023. The total sales dollar volume was $6.6 billion, a decrease of 3.6 per cent from the same time the previous year.

“March capped off a slow start to the first quarter of 2024,” said BCREA Chief Economist, Brendon Ogmundson. “Despite a steep decline in fixed mortgage rates, buyers appear to be waiting on the Bank of Canada to lower its policy rate before jumping back into the market.”

Year-to-date, BC residential sales dollar volume was up 13 per cent to $15.8 billion, compared with the same period in 2023. Residential unit sales were up 6.4 per cent to 15,938 units, while the average MLS® residential price was up 6.5 per cent to $995,149.

BCREA Housing Market Update for March 2024

BCREA released it’s latest Housing Market Update for March of 2024. BC Real Estate Association Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson discusses the February 2024 statistics.

Home sales were up in February by 15.3% over last year’s sales. This is about 10% below the 10 year average for February. Year over year, active listings were up 20.3% this is an increase from last year however the listing activity for 2023 was very slow. Last year we saw the slowest pace of new listings on the market in the province since 2005. The market in BC remains in the balanced territory but there is still a fairly low level of activity. The average price for BC homes sold in February was $988,000, that is up 4.7% year over year compared to an average price of $944,000 in February 2023. While prices are up from last year the trend in BC home prices is flat for the most part since the Summer of 2023.

In Kamloops we saw 163 sales in the month of February which is a 4.5% increase year over year. The average price was down 0.3% to $614,261. The number of active new listings has also increased 18.2% to 953 active listings in the area. This equates to 5.8 months worth of supply.

The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) reports that a total of 5,497 residential unit sales were recorded in Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) systems in February 2024, an increase of 15.3 per cent from February 2023. The average MLS® residential price in BC in February 2024 was up 4.7 per cent at $987,798 compared to an average price of $943,574 in February 2023.

Active listings are up 20.3 per cent over last year as a result of slower sales but also a recovery in new listings in January and February following a very slow year for listings activity in 2023. Last year was the slowest pace of new listing activity since 2005.
