Sales require price fiexibility

From page 88

that buyers are still cautiously

resistant to the prices that are _

being asked for some of the
houses that are for sale. Let’s
face it, North Shore housing
is not cheap, and indeed it
looks like prices for North
Van detached homes are up
3-4% over a year ago. I think
buyers are demonstrating that
they are not in a panic and
that they are not going to
pay too much for ¢ house.
‘The message here for sellers
is that if they ecally want to
sell then they are going to
have to be realistic and some-
what flexible on price.

Sales of North Van

attached homes are also
down from August levels
although they were still up
56% over last September's
depressed levels. On the sup-
ply side, the number of active
listings fell far the third
straight month, down to 103
units. :

This is the lowest it has
been since February of 1998
and is pretty close to the his-
torical average of about 100
units. As a result, the market
for attached homes this fall
should be more balanced as
opposed to the buyers’ mar-
ket it has been for the list
two years. In other words,
this fall should be the best
time in the last two years for
