Now information on OUR North Shore?  Number of N/Van detached sales is 4% lower than 2005 YTD. Average prices +15% and inventory up 12% over last year. On the attached (t/hse) front, sales numbers down 9% while apt sales were down 12%.  Average prices up 17% (t/hse) and up by 14% for apartments. “Leveling off” continues but all prices markedly up over last year. Inventory (t/hse) up from ‘05, by 13%, and (apt) up from ’05 by 22%.

In W/Van, detached unchanged as to number of sales 05/06 YTD.  Average price +19% YTD and inventory now at 15% higher than ‘05. On the condo side – attached (t/hses) sold are up 1% YTD over 2005; average price change up 3%.  Active listings down 17% from last year. Apts reflect 12% fewer sold vs. ‘05; with average prices up 37% and active listings 25% lower at 77 units.  The North Shore maintains healthy (though seasonally gentler) demand and inventory certainly not at all high enough to approximate a balanced market.
