Vancouver condo prices continue to be the highest in Canada despite decreases over the last year, according to a nationwide study by realtor Century 21.

That’s not surprising, but the price-per-square-foot calculations Century 21 cited in its press release Wednesday sit higher than what some other realtors are starting to discuss in a fast-changing market.

Century 21’s annual price-per-square-foot survey pegs downtown Vancouver condos as some of the most expensive properties in the country at $1,345 per square foot.

The firm clarifies this number is based on prices between Jan. 1 and June 30 of this year, so it can compare with last year’s report, meaning “price changes since then are not reflected.”

Century 21 also says in the release that it asked its franchisees “to help come up with the average price-per-square-foot in their market. However, calculating a precise number is not an exact science as every office and province tracks statistics slightly differently. As a result, some have used either the average or benchmark prices (depending on the market) and tracked average square footage in sales.”
