Moving is possible and this could be an excellent time! Here’s why!
If you’re planning to sell and buy again, waiting for your current home to recover may actually make your next move more expensive.
September’s Greater Vancouver benchmark numbers show why.
Townhouse benchmark: $1,016,700 — down 4.4%
Detached benchmark: $1,784,700 — down 7.3%
That means the gap between a townhouse and a detached home is about $94,000 smaller than it was a year ago.
Yes, you may sell your current home for less than you could have before.
But the home you’re moving into may also cost significantly less.
