North Shore Monthly Real Estate Update
THE PENT-UP DEMAND SEEMS TO BE "UNPENTING!"

There is stiong evidence of the “reticent buyer” of the past months starting to become an “active buyer” Total {Van sales (all categories) are up almost 30% from 143
(Feb '98) to 185 (Feb °99) : W.Van on smaller numbers is up 11%. Of greater significance is that sales {cr Jan-Feb “99 show an increase of aver 100 (N.Van) and almost

- 150% (W.Van).

Se much for the. now evident “demand side”. The active listings count is still high (supply side) with - N. Van ai 909 (end Feb 99) vs 864 (end Feb 98) and Jan ‘99 (884)
W. Ven at 543 (end Feb 99) ve 574 (end Feb ‘98) and Jan ‘99 (503)

Whither average prices ? Detached homes in N.Van have gone from $392K (Feo 98) to $383K (Feb “99) up a kittle from Jan 99 (S36GK). Wan detached stats are less
meaningful (smatlar numbers) but show a drop trom $641K (Feb 98) to $598K (Feb “99) and down fram Jan ‘99 ($706K).
Activity 5 up but prices are not yet ‘frming” as supply remains high. It is stil a buyers’ market Dut not as markedly so
