This week’s read

East Vancouver resumed its slide to MAI 39, and inventory built 12 listings to 166 — a run high. The bottom quartile around $440K stayed the engine, absorbing 8 against 5 new. But the upper quartile $620K took 6 new listings and cleared just 1, and the top slowed to 2 absorbed. Cuts eased to 40%. The entry level still moves; supply is piling up above it.

The four markets

Altos splits each zip into four price-band segments. The bottom and top quartiles behave like different markets entirely — different buyers, different time-on-market, different absorption. Sparklines in the DOM column show the 11-week trajectory of days on market for each quartile.

The market has been cooling over time and prices plateaued for a while. Despite the consistent decrease in MAI, we’re in the Seller’s zone. Watch for changes in MAI. If the MAI resumes its climb, prices will likely follow suit. If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the Buyer’s zone, watch for downward pressure on prices.

But real estate stays stubbornly hyper-local: a school boundary, one busy road, a single new listing can move a block in ways the Vancouver median can’t catch. For a read on a specific neighborhood or property, let’s talk. No obligation, no pitch.
