The REBGV headlined its report as one of a market that has set a “steady, calmer pace to begin the summer season”.

Board economist Keith Stewart said that Metro Vancouver “continues to experience strong seller’s market conditions”.

However, the “intensity of demand has eased” from last spring.

“The past two months have shown a market that’s shifting toward more historically typical conditions,” Stewart said.

The number represents a 54 percent increase from the 2,443 sales recorded in June 2020, and an 11.9 percent decrease from 4,268 in May 2021.
