Vancouver Real Estate Market Seasonal Fluctuations

Real estate markets fluctuate (really!?) and for the Vancouver market, spring is always the busiest followed by early to mid autumn. The worst times to start marketing a property are high summer and deep winter.

High summer (late July to Labour Day) is tought because people are on vacation or want to go to the beach and not to open houses. Deep winter is no good because the weather deters people and the holiday season distracts them.

THAT SAID! Active buyers out on in the low season are SERIOUS! I have some well priced listings right now and we are getting a lot activity and have an accepted offer on one. I am working with some buyers who want to get a deal done before Christmas…

What are the busiest times in your market?
