 North Vancouver Houses – 118 Sales, down 2.5% from March 2012. At month’s end there were 33 active listings, a 3 Month’s Supply of properties (Seller’s Market with very low inventory levels).

 Richmond – 307 Sales, flat to March 2012. At month’s end there were 2,552 active listings, an 8 Month’s Supply of properties (Buyer’s Market continues).

 In most markets, the amount of homes available for sale are growing creating a balancing to Buyer’s Market in some cases. Richmond is still firmly entrenched in a Buyer’s Market. Pricing remains steady and with sales levels below typical amounts for April, pricing needs to be sharp for sellers. Buyers are active and there are opportunities for them to act on.
