The total number of properties listed for sale on the MLS in Metro Vancouver increased 3.5 per cent in April compared to a year ago, the board said.
"Our overall market is operating below the record-setting pace from a year ago and is in line with historical spring levels. It's a different story in our condominium and townhome markets," Jill Oudil, president of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, said Tuesday in a statement.
"Demand has been increasing for months and supply is not keeping pace. This dynamic is causing prices to increase and making multiple offer scenarios the norm."
