Vancouver home prices rose slightly from June to July

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 02 Aug, 2023 10:12 AM
  • Vancouver home prices rose slightly from June to July

Home prices in the Greater Vancouver Area rose slightly between June and July to just over 1.2-million-dollars.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver says that was due to strong sales figures and few listed homes.

Sales last month were running 15.6 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average which the board attributes to the Bank of Canada's steep interest rate hikes.
