WELCOME
Our buyers and sellers continue to compliment us on our new publication, The V List Homes. Our
new website due to launch has also drawn much favourable comment. The “V” theme has hit a very
responsive note with all who have had contact with it. The new Federal Budget with the reduction of
1% in the GST has brought a slight relief to home buyers but a much greater relief could be available
if the Provincial Property Transfer Tax (PTT) was eliminated or at least reduced. This tax which has
brought a huge amount of revenue to the Provincial Government has created hardships for many
potential buyers. The elimination of this tax for lower priced properties would be a good first step.
Home ownership continues to be a great investment in the long run as those who purchased a home
some years ago will attest to.

MARKET WATCH
Spring offers great residential opportunities
Vancouver, B.C. May 2, 2006 - The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that sales of detached, attached and apartment properties
reached 3,345 units in April 2006, a decrease of 17.3 per cent compared to April 2005’s 4043. This figure also represents a decrease of 18.5 per cent over
April 2004 when 4,103 sales were recorded.
“Market activity continues to put pressure on listing inventory, which is down 22.3 per cent over the same period in 2005,” says REBGV president Rick
Valouche. “It’s a great market for sellers and thanks to our continuing low interest rates, it’s also a healthy market for buyers.
“It’s a great market for sellers and thanks to our continuing low interest rates, it’s also a healthy market

- REBGV president Rick Valouche.
“While residential real estate sales are lower than last year, the current housing
market is still strong with sales up eight per cent compared to April 2003,” says
Valouche. “Both 2005 and 2004 were remarkably strong years during which
consumers were satisfying pent-up demand for housing.”
According to Multiple Listings Service® (MLS®) data, sales of apartment properties decreased by 18.4 per cent to 1,366 sales in April 2006 compared
to 1,675 sales in April 2005. The benchmark price of an apartment property in Greater Vancouver, calculated by the MLSLink® Housing Price Index, is
$309,484, up 21.8 per cent from one year ago.
Sales of attached properties decreased 12.9 per cent in April 2006 to 539 sales, compared to 619 sales in April 2005. The benchmark price of an attached
unit is $380,163, up 16.7 per cent from a year ago.

NORTH VANCOUVER
$759,000
North Vancouver Market Comment
Sales of both attached homes and apartments in North Vancouver continued strong in the month of April 2006 putting pressure on the available
number of listings which were down over the same month in 2005. This is a
great market for sellers and with the still low interest mortgage rates buyers can benefit like never before.
Affordability is a theme that is creeping in to the market place but the Real
Estate Board reports that 63% of residential properties sold in April 2006
were sold below the Greater Vancouver average price of $502,845, and that
pockets of affordability exists if the buyers are prepared to be flexible in
their expectations.
