9. Total Current Listings for Houses Asking over $3 million: 1,073 houses.
10. Sales-to-Listings Ratio for Houses over $3 million: 2% or approx. 4 years of supply or inventory at this sales rate.
11. Number of Houses Sold over $5 million in January: 6 in 2017 vs 23 in 2016; down 74%

Bonus Stat #1. Dollar Value of Houses Sold in January: $494 million in 2017 vs $1.4 billion in 2016; down over $900 million in Greater Vancouver alone. This does not include the Fraser Valley or the rest of the province. At this rate, the BC government will collect $300 million less in Land Transfer Tax (aka. Christy Clark’s 2015 and 2016 windfall profits to balance the BC budget).
Bonus Stat #2: Of the 313 sales in January, 91% of those Detached Houses sold for less than their original asking price. (versus approx. 33% in January 2016)
Not even a realtor (or tdma) could find the bright spot in those numbers...

I like this stat...I knew this was gonna happen, but she doesn't care because the budget doesn't come out until after the election. Maybe I won't love this stat so much when she devises a new way to rape and pillage our collective rectums to make up for the loss of revenue...after the election all bets are off, I suspect they will cancel the tax come summer (assuming they get re-elected)

Worst January in the last 6 years in terms of number of sales for residential detached. Prices down. Morale down. Chinese can't get money out and those that can, can't buy here.
Where or where have the buyers gone.... LOL
