The total dollar volume of MLS\u00ae transactions for the year was $11.2 billion, dropping from $11.8 billion sold during the year prior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2019, total sales of the three main residential property types \u2013 detached, townhome and apartment \u2013 was 13,773.&nbsp; Of that total, 5,770 were detached, 3,888 were townhouses and 4,115 were apartments. Year-over-year, sales of detached and townhomes increased by 0.6 per cent compared to 2018, while apartment sales dropped by 4.2 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cComparatively, 2019 was slower than normal for our region,\u201d said Darin Germyn, President of the Board. &nbsp;\u201cEarlier in the year, we were still feeling the impact of the stress test introduced in 2018, but with steady job growth in our region and a stable economy, we\u2019ve seen sales in the last few months return to above-average levels.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In December the Board processed a total of 1,247 sales, the third best December since 2010. Active inventory finished at 4,686 units in December, 20.3 per cent lower than the 10-year average for the month, with a total of 948 new listings entering the market throughout the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Germyn added, \u201cSome sellers have been holding back on listing, waiting until the market improves, with the result that supply in many areas currently is quite tight; so if you\u2019re looking to enter the market in 2020, now is a good time. Without a healthy supply of inventory in the coming months, we could see upward pressure on prices.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>A total of 30,568 new listings were received by the Board\u2019s MLS\u00ae system in 2019.
