“Sales activity came in unexpectedly strong in June, rising to the highest level for this month in five years,” said Curtis Yungen, President of the Powell River Sunshine Coast Real Estate Board. “There wasn’t an accompanying surge in new listings, so it looks like buyers were doing the heavy lifting on the increase in activity. While overall supply levels are still elevated, the rise in demand brought inventories down closer to their long-term norms and tightened up the market.”
