Lynn Valley real estate market one of North Vancouver's best through December but January flops

Jan. 22, 2009 - PRLog -- Lynn Valley is looking pretty good compared to most other areas.  In December, it had 51 active listings, 8 sales, 17 price reductions and 17 expired listings (failed to sell).  It’s 15.6% sales to listing ratio is one of the highest I’ve seen.

The average price for Lynn Valley listings is at $965,000, the lowest priced home is $619,000 and the highest is $1,558,000.  There are 11 listings in the $600s, 7 in the $700s, 2 in the $800S, 7 in the $900s and 12 over $1 million.  

The average time on the market for active listings is 82 days.  The average home has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and has just over 3,000 square feet.

There were 17 homes that lowered their price.  The average price drop for these properties was roughly $76,000.

Lynn Valley had 8 December sales.  Their asking prices ranged from $499,000 to $759,000, their average asking price was $627,975, their average sale price was $586,500.  Five of the eight sales reduced their price and their original start price averaged $679,375.  

That means, on average the properties dropped by nearly $100,000.  Other points of note on these homes include their average bedrooms 4, average bathrooms 2.5, average house size 2,300 square feet and average lot frontage was 48 feet.

There are currently 42 listings for sale in Lynn Valley with 8 new listings coming to market within the past 21 days.  The average price for these new Lynn Valley listings is $1,112,000, average bedrooms is 5, average bathrooms is 4 and average house size is 3,600 square feet.  The lowest priced new listing is $949,888 while the high is $1,499,900.

There have been zero sales or expired listings for this period.  With a fairly strong sales month for December, January sales are a little surprising and we’ll have to keep watch for the remainder of the month.
