INTRODUCTION | JANUARY 2013

Our monthly sales absorption report is designed to keep you up-to-date and on top of the market. Every report analyzes the real estate markets

in North and West Vancouver, Downtown, and the East and West side of the city in terms of monthly sales, listings, and absorption rates. The

data is further broken down by price, residential type and the number of bedrooms. In addition to statistics, a graph presents the past two years

of sales, and a featured properties page showcases our most recent listings and sold properties. To help you better understand the contents of

the report, we’ve compiled a list of definitions and explanations of certain statistics terminology:

ACTIVE LISTINGS The number of properties on the market. This number only includes those listed on the Multiple Listing Service

(MLS); properties not listed on the MLS, such as “For Sale By Owner”, are not accounted for. This number is dynamic and constantly

changes; new properties get listed and others are sold, terminated, cancelled, or expire.

ATTACHED PROPERTY A property that shares a common wall with another property such as a condo, apartment, townhome, duplex,

triplex, etc.

DAYS ON MARKET (DOM) The number of days a listing is active on the MLS before it is sold. Our report showcases the average days

on market which is calculated by adding all the days on market of each listing and dividing it by the number of listings for that month. In a

buyer’s market, the DOM is generally higher because inventory takes longer to sell and in a seller’s market, the DOM is lower.

DETACHED PROPERTY A property with no shared walls; a free standing house.

MONTH’S SUPPLY The number of months it would take at the current absorption rate (see below), assuming no new properties are

listed, for all of the currently listed properties to sell. To calculate month’s supply, take the total number of active listings in a month

divided by the total number of sales in the month. The widely accepted equilibrium benchmark in the industry is 5 months’ supply. At 5

months’ supply, the buyers are absorbing the existing inventory at a rate that stabilizes pricing; ergo, the supply demand curves are at

equilibrium. A market with greater than 5 months’ supply is considered a buyer’s market and one with less than 5 months’ supply is a

seller’s market. For example, if the market had only 2 months’ worth of supply available, pricing would be trending up (in favour of

sellers, hence a “seller’s market”). Conversely, an environment with 10 months’ supply would be putting downward pressure on pricing

(benefiting buyers) as buyers have more variety of properties to select from.

SALES ABSORPTION RATE The rate at which homes sell in an area; the higher the absorption rate, the faster homes are selling. To

calculate the absorption rate, take the number of homes sold in a month and divide it by the total number of listings available that month.

YEAR OVER YEAR (YOY) This rate compares a time period (in this case a month) against the same time period last year. For example,

July 2012 compared to July 2011. It is calculated by taking the current data (absorption rate, sale prices...etc) minus the previous year’s

data, and then divided by the previous year’s data. The key advantage to this metric is that it automatically negates the effect of

seasonality.

As the real estate market is dynamic and constantly changing, this report and its contents are our best representation of the market at the time

the report was created. If you have any questions, suggestions on how we can make the report better, or would like to know where the market

is at this very moment, please give us a call anytime!

E. & O.E.: This information is from sources which we deem reliable, but must be verified by prospective Purchasers and may be subject to change or withdrawal. If your

property is listed with a real estate broker, please disregard. It is not our intention to solicit the offerings of other real estate brokers. Independently Owned and Operated.
