So far this spring, we\u2019ve seen a corresponding supply response from home sellers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRecord low interest rates, increased household savings, a strengthening economy and a continued focus on living space during the pandemic are all factors that are helping to bolster demand while steady price growth is encouraging more sellers to list their homes,\u201d Stewart said.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Analysis<\/strong><\/em> &#8211; With a shortage of supply in the first quarter of 2021, Market has accelerated in price growth rapidly. Multiple Offers and Subject Free offers were prevalent. Now that Spring season is among us, supply has flooded out, making April one of the busiest months in regards to number of transactions.<\/p>\n<p>We are seeing the reduction of the number of offers with ridiculously high prices, and many buyers are now able to write offers with subjects to better protect themselves. By no means is the price coming down, as the demand still outweigh the supply at this point in time. If the supply continues at this pace, and the demand trails off, we may see a buyers market again. But with COVID restrictions still in place and travel isn&#8217;t quite possible yet, when that will happen is still a mystery. People are still confined in their own homes or bubbles, so the typical summer lull in the market may not happen this year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking to sell or move in the near future?\u00a0 Please reply to this email and I&#8217;d be happy to discuss it with you!\u00a0 I truly would love the opportunity to work with YOU!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Please click below links for your complimentary\u00a0updated Vancouver Real Estate statistics package.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"btn btn-lg btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/777c684ad3d3eb63b0df8e318\/files\/d114ee3f-bd1a-bb61-1f19-09930eeef89d\/REBGV_Stats_Pkg_April_2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Detailed Real Estate Board Statistics Package<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-6\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-lg btn-action\" href=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/777c684ad3d3eb63b0df8e318\/files\/4aacc88d-e72f-8906-c89d-037f6c1903a3\/MVR_2021_April.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Snap Stats &#8211; Metro Vancouver<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"btn btn-lg btn-action\" href=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/777c684ad3d3eb63b0df8e318\/files\/2f5bf081-f5e5-0cea-ffb2-1b58f73fe152\/GVR_2021_April.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Snap Stats &#8211; Greater Vancouver<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VIDEO:\u00a0 Vancouver Real Estate Market Update &#8211; May 2021 &nbsp; Dear Reader, Hope you and your loved ones are staying healthy.\u00a0 With vaccines more and more readily available, we are hoping that we will soon get back to &#8220;normal&#8221; again.\u00a0 In the Real Estate world, April has been one of the busiest months to date!\u00a0&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":1,"label":"Uncategorized"}]},"featured_image_src_large":false,"author_info":{"display_name":"Alex Yao","author_link":"https:\/\/www.yaorealestate.com\/author\/yaorealestate\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":1,"name":"Uncategorized","slug":"uncategorized","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":42,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":1,"category_count":42,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Uncategorized","category_nicename":"uncategorized","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yaorealestate.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4859"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yaorealestate.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yaorealestate.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yaorealestate.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yaorealestate.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4859"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.yaorealestate.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4859\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4860,"href":"https:\/\/www.yaorealestate.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4859\/revisions\/4860"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.yaorealestate.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yaorealestate.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.yaorealestate.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
