New Listings YoY change
Aug: +13% (vs ’12)
Jul: +11%
Jun: -13%
May: -18%
Interesting to see New Listings picking up pace.
It could mean a few things
A. Sellers trying to catch the end of RE boom.
B. According to some realtors, the main demographic driving Vancouver-proper sales lately are existing home-owners taking advantage of low rate-holds to trade up/down. In order to buy, they have to list first.

If I have to bet, I’ll bet
- Sales noticeably drop off by mid/late September
- Peak inventory occurs in September/October this year.
