apartments and townhouses made up 37% of all real estaie transactions in Van- comer. This is a io) in- crease over 1990, but a S%o increase over 1989, and 14% above the 1987 figure of 23%. dt ois also the highest proportion of condominium saies of any major Canadian city.

The survey shows con- dominiums appeal to a wide range of home buyers in Vancouver. In 1990, nearly 30° of buyers were in the 30-39 age group, and, in addition, 34% of buyers

were over 50.

“Vancouver is traditional- Ivy high in condominiums.” says Jerry Jackman. senior Vice-president of Royal LePage. Cand we're vetting a Jot oof femate buyers because of more women in business. But where vou see a strong trend is in the ug- ing of tue buyer. Over the past three years, the 20-29 group has dropped fram 19% to 12% and that’s because of affordability and demographics. The Baby Boomers are growing up.”*
