Kits & Fairview remain hot spots in May as sales rise across Vancouver's Westside

The COVID 19 pandemic has done little to slow down Kitsilano and Fairview's real estate markets in recent month's as they remain favourable selling conditions. May remained very competitive for buyers looking for homes in those neighbourhoods under $800K. To read the full report for Kitsilano click here, for the Fairview report click here.  

Despite these hotspots in Kitsilano and Fairview, some Westside neighbourhoods despite seeing a rebound in sales in May experienced downwards pressure on benchmark pricing. Unlike the Westside, Vancouver's Eastside condo market experienced upwards pressure on benchmark pricing.
