Music Festival, Kitsilano.ca is a favorite destination to learn more about these events. Read more ›

March 2013 Kitsilano Real Estate Update

Posted on March 14, 2013 by Ben C.

It’s definitely interesting times in the Vancouver real estate market at the moment. There are not a lot of general trends that are consistent across market segments and it’s not until you break those segments down that a real sense of the market begins to develop. To help facilitate that understanding, we have broken out our statistics into two separate categories: condos and townhomes (after the jump and below). This should help give you a clearer picture of the prices and interest in each segment. Read more ›

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Taraneh

The real estate article asserts that West 4th Avenue has an unusual number of vacant storefronts and “second-highest commercial rent in Vanouver, with only Robson Street being less affordable.” The author goes on to say “businesses have to thrive in order to survive: there’s no just scraping by on West 4th.

February 2013 Kitsilano real estate market update

Posted on February 15, 2013 by Ben C.

This year is off to a quick start. Now that we’re into February, we’re that much closer to Spring and the busy Real Estate Market that comes with the nicer weather.

Listing inventory is up 15-32% over last month, and you can expect that to continue as we approach Spring. This is great news for Buyers who have shown a renewed sense of interest in dipping into the market, and great news for Seller’s who may have been sitting on their properties for longer than they initially hoped.

Sales are up at least 15% in every market, with the exception of the Vancouver East Detached Market, which also had the lowest increase in inventory. Breaking down Kitsilano… Read more ›

November 2012 Kitsilano real estate market update

Posted on November 19, 2012 by Ben C.
The Vancouver market showed increasing signs of stability and a trending back towards a balanced market in October. Sales activity rose 27.4% over last month, though remained 16.7% below the same time last year. New listings declined 18.8% compared to September and 1.2% over October 2011. Price fluctuations vary greatly between market segments. Overall, the sales-to-active-listings ratio increased from 8% in September to 11% in October.

Focusing on Kitsilano, we saw attached sales slip 19.4% compared to September but rise 25% over last October. Inventory levels are up 32.6% compared to last year but are down slightly from last month. Average prices are dramatically skewed this month, with more than a 25% of sales falling into the $1m+ range and artificially pulling the average price. Read more ›

Kitsilano home sales drop in September 2012

Posted on October 12, 2012 by Ben C.

It’s a good thing the weather was warm this past September, as the Vancouver real estate market was definitely cooler than expected with an 8.1% drop in home sales compared to August and 32.5% decline compared to September 2011.

In spite of this, buyer presence remains very strong with many waiting in the wings to dive back in when they find the right fit. As more stability sets in to the market place, I anticipate we will see an increase in sales volume heading into the Fall season. Read more ›
