Weekly Drop Metro Vancouver Attached – February 25, 2014

Here are the 10 attached properties in Metro Vancouver (Vancouver West, Vancouver East, Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver and West Vancouver) that changed their price or were relisted under a new MLS number the previous week AND have dropped the largest percentage overall from their original asking price.

The condo market continues to get hammered and with so much new inventory coming along with new rules regarding depreciation reports I believe it’s going to get much worse.
