Vancouver, BC – July 13, 2023. The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) reports that a total of 8,740 residential unit sales were recorded in Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) systems in June 2023, an increase of 21.9 per cent from June 2022. The average MLS® residential price in BC was $991,648, up 4.7 per cent compared to June 2022. The total sales dollar volume was $8.7 billion, representing a 27.6 per cent increase from the same time last year.

“June home sales continued to outperform expectations, following a very strong rebound in May,” said BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson. “However, rising interest rates will likely dampen home sales activity in coming months.”

Active listings in the province were above 30,000 units for the first time since September 2022, but were still down 1.2 per cent compared to this time last year, and essentially flat month-over-month on a seasonally adjusted basis.

Year-to-date BC residential sales dollar volume was down 26.1 per cent to $39.4 billion, compared with the same period in 2022. Residential unit sales were down 21.1 per cent to 40,381 units, while the average MLS® residential price was down 6.4 per cent to $976,885.

The BC Real Estate Association has released it’s latest housing market update for June of 2023 which discusses May 2023’s statistics. Home sales were strong across BC For May with a number of regions surging 20% month over month. This puts the sales back on pace with the historical averages. We saw a year of activity that was below average. Home sales increased about 10% from last year. The province saw a slight increase nithe number of active listings, up 1.4% compared to this time last year. This is not seen as much of a change. The higher volume of sales left the inventory of listings at approximately 25% below pre-pandemic levels. The average price ofr a BC home was above the $1 million price point for the first time since April of 2022. Some of the increase is due to the increased demand for more pricier homes.

Kamloops for the month of May saw 294 sales which was a 3.5% year over year change. The average price sat at $601,152 which is down 6.4%. This likely is due to fewer high end homes selling as they seem to be sitting on the market much longer. There were 979 active listings in Kamloops which is a 15.3% year over year change. This equates to 3.3 months worth of supply which is fairly low. Due to this a number of properties have experienced multiple offers when they are sharply priced.
