Market Overview
Active listings remain steady at approximately 16,242, giving buyers more selection while helping maintain a balanced pace of sales. With prices softening modestly and sales activity showing resilience, the Metro Vancouver market continues to move toward a healthier balance as buyer and seller expectations align.
What This Means for Buyers
With more listings on the market and prices easing slightly, buyers have greater choice and less pressure compared to last year. The modest dip in benchmark prices, especially in detached homes and townhomes, may create opportunities to purchase at more favorable terms. However, well-priced homes are still moving quickly, so being prepared with financing and a clear strategy is key.
What This Means for Sellers
For sellers, the market is still active with steady sales, but buyers are more price-sensitive. Homes that are well-presented, accurately priced, and marketed effectively are attracting strong interest. The good news: increased sales activity shows that motivated buyers are out there, especially for detached homes and townhomes, which saw notable year-over-year sales growth.
