FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

 

Property sales strengthen in current market cycle

 

VANCOUVER, B.C. – April 2, 2009 – The Metro Vancouver housing market experienced a movement away from volatility and toward stability to start the spring season.

 

Home sales in March 2009 returned to levels witnessed at the beginning of the decade, with 2,265 sales recorded across Metro Vancouver for the month, a 53 per cent increase over February but a 24.4 per cent decrease over March 2008, when 2,997 sales were recorded.

 

Since 1999, March sales have increased 31 per cent, on average, over the month of February. March 2009 marks the second consecutive month that sales have outperformed the ten-year average for this month-over-month comparison.

 

“There’s more confidence in the housing market today than we were seeing late last year. Sales activity is rising to more typical levels given the season, and the number of homes being listed for sale is levelling off,” said Scott Russell, president of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV).

 

New residential listings on the MLS® declined 22 per cent in March 2009 to 4,385 compared to March 2008. This is the fifth month in a row that new listings have decreased year-over-year and the third consecutive month where those declines exceeded 20 per cent.

 

Despite these trends, total active listings at the end of March 2009 had still reached14,579, a 19 per cent increase compared to the end of March 2008.

 

“REALTORS® are seeing an increasing level of interest from first-time buyers who are attracted to low interest rates, good supply of housing, greater affordability, and a considerably lower overall cost of servicing a mortgage compared to recent years,” Russell said.

 

Sales of detached properties in March 2009 declined 19.6 per cent to 897 from the 1,116 units sold during the same period in 2008. The benchmark price, as calculated by the MLSLink Housing Price Index®, for detached properties declined 15.1 per cent from March 2008 to $649,342.

 

Sales of apartment properties declined 28.8 per cent last month to 976, compared to the 1,370 sales in March 2008. The benchmark price of an apartment property declined 13.5 per cent from March 2008 to $337,099.

 

Attached property sales in March 2009 decreased 23.3 per cent to 392, compared with the 511 sales during the same month in 2008. The benchmark price of an attached unit declined 11.2 per cent between March 2008 and 2009 to $420,563.

B.C. home owners protected against title fraud

 

      In light of recent articles in The Vancouver Sun regarding the issue of title and mortgage fraud in B.C., the B.C. Land Title and Survey Authority (LTSA) emphasizes that such cases are extremely rare because strong protections are in place in this province.

      The LTSA reports that over the past 18 years, the land title system processed 15 million transactions. During this time, two claims related to land ownership fraud were successfully resolved and only 14 claims related to mortgage fraud had been filed.

      The LTSA is not only legally obligated to confirm ownership every time a property is sold, mortgaged, leased or statutory rights of way are created, additional protection is provided through an assurance fund. That fund compensates owners deprived of their title either because of an LTSA administration error or identity theft/fraud.

      The LTSA adds that if a property owner feels their land holdings are at risk, there are simple steps to provide additional protection such as an automatic email service to your notary or lawyer when activity shows on your title.

      Alternatively, homeowners could also order a duplicate certificate of title for their own records, at a cost of approximately $50. Title could not be transferred without that document. While this provides protection, it also causes problems when such documents are lost or misplaced.

      LTSA is unaware of any cases in B.C. that required an innocent owner to pay off a fraudulently obtained mortgage on their property. Typically, when a bank asks a homeowner to pay for title insurance on a mortgage, that insurance protects the lending institution, not the home owner. However, separate insurance may be purchased that protects the owner’s equity in the property.
