The annual rate of sales in Metro Vancouver reached 44,688 homes last month, a 5.3 per cent drop from the previous month but a 5.1 per cent increase from a year before.

Prices remained flat around the $1-million mark, but are still up 12 per cent from June 2015.

Still, the report says sellers’ conditions prevail in Vancouver, as well as in Victoria and all southern Ontario markets.

The Fraser Valley led price growth in the country with a year-over-year gain of 24 per cent, while price growth is slowing in the Lower Mainland.

Listings rose in 17 areas, including a second straight monthly gain in Toronto and a year-over-year rise in Metro Vancouver.
