April 2014 Statistics Package for Media

New MLS® listings and total MLS® sales - entire region

The Victoria Real Estate Board uses the MLS® Home Price Index (MLS® HPI) to report on property values. The MLS® HPI uses the concept of a benchmark home, a notional home with common attributes of typical homes in a defined area.

Through the analysis of ten years of Victoria Real Estate Board MLS® sales data, the MLS® HPI defined benchmark homes for Victoria in each category (single family homes, town-houses, condos) and for each neigh-bourhood. The benchmark starting point was 2005, where each type of property and neighbourhood was assigned an index value of 100.

Balanced Market

The Sales to Active Listings Ratio

This chart tracks the ratio of total residential sales over total active residential listings at month-end for

Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service ®

This chart tracks the ratio of total residential sales over total active residential listings at month-end for each of the last 25 months.

The active listing count and the sales count can be viewed as indicators of housing supply and demand respectively. Observing the ratio between them can thus help indicate a "buyers' market", where there is downward pressure on prices, and a "sellers' market", where there is upward pressure on prices.

A rule of thumb for interpreting the Sales to Active Listings Ratio is that when the ratio is:

- below 10%, there is downward pressure on prices (buyers' market)- above 25%, there is upward pressure on prices (sellers' market)- in the 15-20% range, there is little pressure on prices either way (balanced market)
