Home sales across Metro Vancouver, as recorded on the MLS®, continued to decline in April, extending the slowdown that began earlier this year. Sales dropped nearly 24% compared to the same time last year. Historically, this level of slowdown is unusual—especially given that borrowing conditions have improved significantly, which would normally stimulate market activity. Adding to the uncertainty are broader economic and political concerns: Canada’s biggest trading partner is adopting trade policies that could push the economy toward recession, and a federal election is on the horizon. These factors appear to be weighing heavily on buyer sentiment, with many opting to remain on the sidelines for now.

Detached Home Sales- In April 2025, there were 578 detached home sales—marking a 29% decline from the 814 sales recorded in April 2024. The benchmark price for a detached home now stands at $2,021,800, reflecting a 0.7% decrease year-over-year and a 0.6% dip compared to March 2025.

Apartment Home Sales- In April 2025, apartment home sales totaled 1,130 — a 20.2% drop from the 1,416 units sold in April 2024. The benchmark price for an apartment home is now $762,800, down 2% year-over-year and 0.6% from March 2025.

Attached Home Sales- Sales of attached homes in April 2025 reached 442, representing a 23.8% decline from the 580 sales recorded in April 2024. The benchmark price for a townhouse is now $1,102,300 — down 2.9% year-over-year and 1% compared to March 2025.

While recent headlines may feel uncertain, there are encouraging signs in today’s real estate market — especially for buyers. Inventory has surpassed 16,000 for the first time since 2014, home prices have remained steady in recent months, and borrowing costs are at some of the lowest levels we’ve seen in years. With balanced market conditions overall, it’s a great time for buyers to explore their options and make confident moves.

Home sales recorded on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver for March reached their lowest level for the month since 2019, while active listings continued their steady upward trend. 

Putting aside the political and economic uncertainty surrounding the new U.S. administration, buyers in Metro Vancouver are experiencing some of the most favorable market conditions seen in years.

Home prices have come down from recent peaks, mortgage rates remain near historic lows, and active listings on the MLS® are at their highest levels in nearly a decade. While sellers seem prepared and motivated, buyer activity has yet to reach the levels we usually expect for this time of year.

Detached Home Sales- In March 2025, sales of detached homes in Metro Vancouver totaled 527, marking a 24.1% drop from the 694 sales recorded in March 2024.

After a 46% year-over-year surge in new listings in January, Metro Vancouver’s MLS® saw a more moderate increase in February, keeping market conditions balanced.

Following January's surge in new listings, February saw home sales and new listings align more closely with historical averages, keeping the market in balanced conditions.

With a possible Bank of Canada rate cut expected in mid-March, homebuyers could see better borrowing conditions while benefiting from the widest selection of homes available since before the pandemic.

Detached Home Sales- in February 2025, 477 detached homes were sold, reflecting a 14.8% decline from the 560 sales in February 2024. The benchmark price for a detached home now stands at $2,006,100. This marks a 1.8% increase from February 2024 and remains nearly unchanged from January 2025.

Apartment Home Sales- in February 2025, 976 apartment homes were sold, down 10.6% from 1,092 sales in February 2024. The benchmark price sits at $747,500, reflecting a 2.8% decline from February 2024 and a slight 0.1% drop from January 2025.

Attached Home Sales- in February 2025, 359 attached homes were sold, marking a 10.9% decline from 403 sales in February 2024. The benchmark price for a townhouse is $1,087,100, down 1.2% year-over-year and 1.7% from January 2025.

In a balanced market, prices tend to stabilize, and we've seen a steady trend across all property types in recent months. However, with the spring season approaching, it will be intriguing to see if buyers take advantage of the favorable market conditions and if sellers become more open to listing their properties.
