Vancouver home sales fall nearly 40% in January as prices pull back
Vancouver's once red-hot housing market continued to cool last month as the number of home sales fell to the lowest level seen in January in 10 years. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver says 1,103 homes were sold in Metro Vancouver last month, down 39.3 per cent from the same month a year earlier. Month-over-month, January home sales were up 2.9 per cent versus December 2018. The board says last month's home sales were 36.3 per cent below the 10-year sales average for January, and the lowest January sales figure recorded since 2009.
