VANCOUVER WEST APRIL TOWNHOME MARKET
Attached please find the latest statistics from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver.
The News Release points out that even with stable prices, favourable interest rates and an abundant selection, home buyers remained shy last month, probably due to uncertainty brought on not only by a Federal election but especially because of hyper-erratic American trade policies.

Meantime this April recorded a 23.6 percent decrease in residential sales compared to last April. The composite value of all properties is 1.8 percent lower April to April.
