Vancouver Real Estate & Mortgages: Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Sales-to-Active Ratio (SAR %) mean in Vancouver real estate?

The Sales-to-Active Ratio measures market liquidity. A ratio below 12% indicates a Buyer's Market (downward pressure on home prices), 12% to 20% indicates a Balanced Market, and above 20% indicates a Seller's Market (upward price pressure).

Where are official MLS® HPI benchmark home prices sourced from?

Benchmark prices and market metrics are syndicated from Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) MLS® Home Price Index and CMHC official housing market data.

How does the Bank of Canada policy interest rate impact Vancouver variable mortgages?

Changes to the Bank of Canada policy rate directly adjust the prime lending rate at chartered banks. For every 25-basis-point (0.25%) cut, variable mortgage payments typically decrease by roughly $15 per month per $100,000 borrowed.
