Incresing Days On Market
Since the middle of 2017, buying interest for Richmond detached homes was visibly absence and demand drifted lower into a buyer market. The days on market figures for detached, townhouses and condos continued to move higher signifying dropping buyer interest and slowing housing demand. The average HPI price for detached homes continued its decline from its peak price of $1,770,000 in April, 2017.

Sales To Active Ratio Deteriorating
The sales-to-active ratios for both townhouses and condos are now approaching the lower bands of a balanced market. The continuation in the current tight lending standards imposed by Canadia Banks will depress sales activities and home prices. The current housing downturn is expected to last for some time before buying interest return to the market.
