My thoughts…
September was another busy month for Squamish Real Estate. There was an increase in overall listings and sales throughout the month, with detached properties seeing almost 50% more listings in September 2020 as compared to September 2019 and townhouses showing over a 90% increase in sales.
It’s important to keep in mind that this year is performing very differently to most years, due to the pandemic. There continues to be pent-up demand that is showing faster sales across all property types, with an average of 38 days on market in September (-37.7% shorter listing period than 2019). Overall we are still experiencing low inventory throughout all property types, with the following properties and price points being the most sought after:
Detached homes listed below $1,200,000
Townhomes & 1/2 Duplex’s listed below $750,000
Apartments listed below $500,000
