For June 2019, the ‘Listings-to-Sales Ratio’ for Kitsilano detached houses was 24%, with 38 homes on the market and 9 having been absorbed during the month. This would actually be considered ‘Seller’s Market’ conditions. For condos and townhomes, the Listings-to-Sales Ratio in June for Kitsilano was 21% with 119 homes on the market and 25 of them having been purchased. This would also be considered a Seller’ Market, but just barely, given that 20% is the cut-off between what is considered in Vancouver to be a ‘Balanced Market’ versus a ‘Seller’s Market’.
