10月，大温哥华地区的房屋销售和新上盘保持在创纪录水平。

大温哥华房地产局（REBGV）报告称，该地区的住宅房屋销售在2020年10月总计3,687套，比2019年10月记录的2,858套增加29％，比2020年9月售出的3,643套房屋增加1.2％。

上个月的销售量比10月份的10年平均销售量高出34.7％，是该月有记录以来的第二高总额。

“在大流行期间，住宅一直是居民关注的焦点。今年，人们在家中度过了更多的白天和夜晚，人们正在重新考虑他们的住房状况。在此期间，房地产经纪人一直在努力了解并适应最新的安全规程，以便他们能够继续以安全和负责任的方式帮助公众满足住房需求。” REBGV主席格伯说。

2020年10月，在大温哥华的多重上市服务®（MLS®）上新挂牌出售的独立屋，联排屋和公寓房屋有5,571套。与2019年10月上市的4,074套房屋相比，这增加了36.7％。相较于2020年9月挂出的6,402套房屋相比，这一数字下降了13％。

目前在大温哥华的MLS®系统上挂出的待售房屋总数为12,416套，比2019年10月（12,236套）增加1.5％，比2020年9月（13,096套）减少5.2％。

格伯说：“随着需求的增长，定价适合当今市场的房屋受到关注，有时还会获得竞价。要了解您所在社区的市场条件和选择的房地产类型，请与当地的REALTOR®合作。评估最新的MLS®住房市场信息。”

分析人士说，通常来说，当房价比率持续下降至12％以下时，就会对房价造成下行压力，而在几个月内房价超过20％时，房价往往会面临上涨压力。

Home sale and listing resurgence extends into the fall

Home sale and new listing activity remained at near record levels across Metro Vancouver in October.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential home sales in the region totalled 3,687 in October 2020, a 29 per cent increase from the 2,858 sales recorded in October 2019, and a 1.2 per cent increase from the 3,643 homes sold in September 2020.

Last month’s sales were 34.7 per cent above the 10-year October sales average and stands as the second-highest total on record for the month.

“Home has been a focus for residents during the pandemic. With more days and evenings spent at home this year, people are re-thinking their housing situation," Colette Gerber, REBGV Chair said. “Throughout this period, REALTORS® have been working to understand and adapt to the latest safety protocols so that they can continue to help the public meet their housing needs in a safe and responsible way.”

There were 5,571 detached, attached and apartment homes newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in October 2020. This represents a 36.7 per cent increase compared to the 4,074 homes listed in October 2019 and a 13 per cent decrease compared to September 2020 when 6,402 homes were listed. 

The total number of homes currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 12,416, a 1.5 per cent increase compared to October 2019 (12,236) and a 5.2 per cent decrease compared to September 2020 (13,096).

“With demand on the rise, homes priced right for today’s market are receiving attention and, at times, garnering multiple offers," Gerber said. "To understand the market conditions in your neighbourhood and property type of choice, work with your local REALTOR® to assess the latest MLS® housing market information."

For all property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for October 2020 is 29.7 per cent. By property type, the ratio is 30.9 per cent for detached homes, 43.5 per cent for townhomes, and 24.9 per cent for apartments.

Generally, analysts say downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below 12 per cent for a sustained period, while home prices often experience upward pressure when it surpasses 20 per cent over several months.
