As Reported by the REBGV: Metro Vancouver sees fewer home sales and more listings in July. Home buyer activity returned to more typical summer levels in Metro Vancouver* last month. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential property sales in the region totalled 2,960 in July 2017, an 8.2 per cent decrease from the 3,226 sales recorded in July 2016, and a decrease of 24 per cent compared to June 2017 when 3,893 homes sold.
