Low Inventory Still 3 Buyers for Every Seller on Vancouver Condos

September 13th, 2016, Owen Bigland

September 5th, 2016, Owen Bigland

In the Vancouver condo market right now (Labour Day 2016) there are 3 buyers for every seller. Inventory (Units for sale) is at an all time historic low. Part of the problem is that developers are forced to build like it’s 1985 and not 2016. We continue to build mostly low to mid-rise condo buildings when we should be building much higher and increasing density. There are also massive areas ...
