Market Activity Shows Encouraging Signs of Improvement

Mon, 13 Jul 2026 17:48:38 GMT

Vancouver, BC – July 13, 2026. The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) reports that 7,225 residential unit sales were recorded in Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) Systems in June 2026, up 0.9 per cent from June 2025. The average MLS® residential price in BC in June 2026 was down 0.8 per cent at $946,878 compared to $954,712 in June 2025.

Total MLS® residential sales dollar volume was $6.84 billion, up 0.1 per cent from the same time the previous year. BC MLS® unit sales were 18.4 per cent lower than the ten-year average for the month of June.

“Sales rose year-over-year in June for the first time since September 2025, driven by stronger activity in the Greater Vancouver area,” said BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson. “We hope this marks the beginning of a stronger second half of the year across BC housing markets as sales converge to more normal levels following several years of unexpected global shocks.”

Year-to-date, BC residential sales dollar volume is down 6.4 per cent to $31.96 billion, compared with the same period in 2025. Residential unit sales are down 5.4 per cent year-over-year at 33,886 units, while the average MLS® residential price is also down 1.1 per cent to $943,249.

Greater Vancouver home sales pick up at the start of summer

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 18:34:56 GMT

VANCOUVER, BC – July 3, 2026 – Demand for all home types in Metro Vancouver* increased to start the summer, with home sales up nearly ten per cent year-over-year in June.

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 2,390 in June 2026, a 9.6 per cent increase from the 2,181 sales recorded in June 2025. This was 12.4 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,728).

“June saw a pattern of broad gains in home sales across all home types relative to the same time last year, which has been a rare occurrence in recent years,” said Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice-president data analytics. “June’s data could be an early sign of a shift in the market. In recent years, sales trends have usually been mixed across home types, which is typical of a sideways trending market. But with all housing types posting gains in June, the data indicate demand may be returning to the market more broadly.”

There were 5,938 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in June 2026. This represents a six per cent decrease compared to the 6,315 properties listed in June 2025. This was 5.9 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (5,609).

The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 17,017, a 3.1 per cent decrease compared to June 2025 (17,561). This is 30.2 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (13,070).

Across all detached, attached and apartment property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for June 2026 is 14.6 per cent. By property type, the ratio is 12 per cent for detached homes, 17.8 per cent for attached, and 15.5 per cent for apartments.

Analysis of the historical data suggests downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below 12 per cent for a sustained period, while home prices often experience upward pressure when it surpasses 20 per cent over several months.

“Despite signs that demand is slowly returning to the market, prices haven’t moved much in recent months as the inventory of homes for sale has been big enough to absorb the increased demand,” Lis said. “Prices typically trend upwards when demand rises and inventory declines. With recent data revealing a slower pace of new listings coming to market, standing inventory is no longer climbing, and may be showing early signs of reversing. It’s still too early to call, but if the current pattern of rising demand and slower new listings continues, we may see a sustained downtrend in inventory over the coming months.”

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,099,100. This represents a 6 per cent decrease over June 2025 and a 0.1 per cent decrease compared to May 2026.

Sales of detached homes in June 2026 reached 747, a 13.7 per cent increase from the 657 detached sales recorded in June 2025. The benchmark price for a detached home is $1,842,900. This represents a 7.1 per cent decrease from June 2025 and a 0.3 per cent decrease compared to May 2026.

Sales of apartment homes reached 1,103 in June 2026, a 6.1 per cent increase compared to the 1,040 sales in June 2025. The benchmark price of an apartment home is $695,200. This represents a 7.1 per cent decrease from June 2025 and a 0.4 per cent decrease compared to May 2026.

Attached home sales in June 2026 totalled 527, a 11.4 per cent increase compared to the 473 sales in June 2025. The benchmark price of a townhouse is $1,046,200. This represents a 5 per cent decrease from June 2025 and a 0.2 per cent decrease compared to May 2026.

Sales Struggle Against a Weak Economy and Rising Mortgage Rates

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 20:01:56 GMT

Vancouver, BC – June 11, 2026. The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) reports that 6,790 residential unit sales were recorded in Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) Systems in May 2026, down 2 per cent from May 2025. The average MLS® residential price in BC in May 2026 was down 1.4 per cent at $945,878 compared to $959,216 in May 2025.

Total MLS® residential sales dollar volume was $6.42 billion, down 3.4 per cent from the same time the previous year. BC MLS® unit sales were 26.39 per cent lower than the ten-year average for the month of May.

“Rising mortgage rates and a weak labour market continue to constrain activity around the province but especially in the Lower Mainland,” said BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson. “The recent rise in mortgage rates presents an unexpected headwind for the market this year and may further delay a recovery in activity.”

Year-to-date, BC residential sales dollar volume is down 8 per cent to $25.1 billion, compared with the same period in 2025. Residential unit sales are down 6.9 per cent year-over-year at 26,681 units, while the average MLS® residential price is also down 1.2 per cent to $941,883.

Apartment sales lag, other housing segments steady

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 18:43:13 GMT

VANCOUVER, BC – June 2, 2026 – Led by slow sales in the apartment segment, home sales registered on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver* were down nearly four per cent in May compared to last year.

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 2,150 in May 2026, a 3.5 per cent decrease from the 2,228 sales recorded in May 2025. This was 26.6 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,930).

“While attached sales held relatively steady and detached sales edged up roughly one per cent in May, apartment sales were down about seven per cent year-over-year, which weighed down the overall sales total,” said Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice president data analytics. “Even then, apartment sales were not down uniformly across all regions – some of the larger areas such as North and East Vancouver saw increases relative to last year.”

There were 6,115 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in May 2026. This represents a 7.6 per cent decrease compared to the 6,620 properties listed in May 2025. This was 1.3 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (6,036).

The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 16,917, a one per cent decrease compared to May 2025 (17,094). This is 34.6 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (12,567).

Across all detached, attached and apartment property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for May 2026 is 13.1 per cent. By property type, the ratio is 10.7 per cent for detached homes, 15.4 per cent for attached, and 14.2 per cent for apartments.

“Price trends across all housing types were flat month-over-month, as a healthy level of inventory easily absorbed the relatively muted level of overall demand in the market,” Lis said. “Year-to-date, sales have come in just shy of our forecast to this point in the year. With demand tracking our forecast so closely, it’s reasonable to expect a calm and orderly summer market, as no obvious near-term catalysts loom over the horizon to move the market significantly in either direction.” 

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,100,700. This represents a 6.2 per cent decrease over May 2025 and a 0.2 per cent increase compared to April 2026.

Sales of detached homes in May 2026 reached 660, a 0.9 per cent increase from the 654 detached sales recorded in May 2025. The benchmark price for a detached home is $1,847,900. This represents a 6.9 per cent decrease from May 2025 and a 0.4 per cent increase compared to April 2026.

Sales of apartment homes reached 1,009 in May 2026, a 7.2 per cent decrease compared to the 1,087 sales in May 2025. The benchmark price of an apartment home is $697,800. This represents a 7.9 per cent decrease from May 2025 and a 0.7 per cent decrease compared to April 2026.

Attached home sales in May 2026 totalled 463, a 1.3 per cent decrease compared to the 469 sales in May 2025. The benchmark price of a townhouse is $1,048,200. This represents a 5.1 per cent decrease from May 2025 and a 0.5 per cent increase compared to April 2026.

Market Activity Endures Through Foreign and Domestic Headwinds

Thu, 14 May 2026 17:51:57 GMT

Vancouver, BC – May 11, 2026. The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) reports that 6,311 residential unit sales were recorded in Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) Systems in April 2026, down 1.9 per cent from April 2025.

The average MLS® residential price in BC in April 2026 was up 0.8 per cent at $952,768 compared to $944,796 in April 2025. Total MLS® residential sales dollar volume was $6.01 billion, down 1.1 per cent from the same time the previous year. BC MLS® unit sales were 25.38 per cent lower than the ten-year average for the month of April.

“Challenges in the local economy and labour market, combined with upward pressure on rates due to the ongoing oil supply shock, are continuing to suppress pent-up demand and weaken overall market activity,” said BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson. “However, modest monthly gains (seasonally adjusted) in some regions hopefully depict the beginning of a broader stabilization in housing activity, underpinned by improved affordability conditions that should encourage prospective buyers to enter the market.”

Year-to-date, BC residential sales dollar volume is down 9.5 per cent to $18.7 billion, compared with the same period in 2025. Residential unit sales are down 7.6 per cent year-over-year at 20,059 units, while the average MLS® residential price is also down 2 per cent to $932,492.

Diverging trends widen as detached housing gains steam

Tue, 05 May 2026 18:05:19 GMT

Home sales registered on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver remain relatively flat compared to April last year, but a divergence is emerging between market segments.

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 2,110 in April 2026, a 2.5 per cent decrease from the 2,163 sales recorded in April 2025. This was 22.9 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,735).

“Last month we noted that a divergence was emerging between sales trends in the detached and multi-family segments, which continued in April,” said Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice-president data analytics. “Sales of detached homes have been gaining year-over-year, while sales in the multi-family segment have declined, and this pattern is consistent across most areas. The fact this pattern is so broad-based reduces the likelihood what we’re seeing is just a blip in the data since the momentum isn’t isolated to small pockets of the market.”

There were 6,684 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in April 2026. This represents a 2.4 per cent decrease compared to the 6,850 properties listed in April 2025. This was 15.5 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (5,785).

The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 16,236, a 0.2 per cent increase compared to April 2025 (16,207). This is 37.9 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (11,773).

Across all detached, attached and apartment property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for April 2026 is 13.5 per cent. By property type, the ratio is 11.3 per cent for detached homes, 15 per cent for attached, and 14.7 per cent for apartments.

“While it’s not always the case, there have been periods where the detached segment has acted as a bellwether of market sentiment, and it’s a question whether this time around this might be the case,” Lis said. “Prices across all segments remain relatively flat month over month as inventory levels remain sufficient to keep price escalation at bay. But with the detached segment picking up steam heading into the full swing of spring, it may only be a matter of time until the multi-family segments follow suit, which would slowly draw down standing inventory levels unless a surge of sellers come to market with their properties. We’ll be watching the next few months of data closely to see if pent-up demand re-enters the market heading into summer.”

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,098,000. This represents a 6.9 per cent decrease over April 2025 and a 0.6 per cent decrease compared to March 2026.

Sales of detached homes in April 2026 reached 659, a 14 per cent increase from the 578 detached sales recorded in April 2025. The benchmark price for a detached home is $1,840,700. This represents an 8.3 per cent decrease from April 2025 and a 0.8 per cent decrease compared to March 2026.

Sales of apartment homes reached 1,009 in April 2026, a 10.7 per cent decrease compared to the 1,130 sales in April 2025. The benchmark price of an apartment home is $703,000. This represents a 7.9 per cent decrease from April 2025 and a 0.5 per cent decrease compared to March 2026.

Attached home sales in April 2026 totalled 433, a two per cent decrease compared to the 442 sales in April 2025. The benchmark price of a townhouse is $1,043,400. This represents a 5.1 per cent decrease from April 2025 and a 0.4 per cent decrease compared to March 2026.

BC Housing Market Faces Multiple Headwinds in 2026

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 17:29:05 GMT

BCREA 2026 Second Quarter Housing Forecast

Vancouver, BC – April 27, 2026. The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) released its 2026 Second Quarter Housing Forecast today.

Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) residential sales in BC are forecast to fall 2.1 per cent to 68,700 units this year. In 2027, MLS® residential sales are forecast to move higher, rising 7.7 per cent to 74,000 units.

“The housing market continues to be challenged by persistent global headwinds and a struggling economy,” said BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson. “However, improved affordability in many markets combined with several years of pent-up demand creates conditions for a rebound, though households will likely need a prolonged period of stability to re-enter the market.”

With active listings at their highest level since 2015, and additional pressure from elevated new-home inventory, we anticipate the average price in BC will fall by 1.4 per cent in 2026 to $939,800, down from $952,930 in 2025. This decrease largely reflects disproportionate weakness in more expensive markets in the Lower Mainland, casting downward pressure on the broader provincial average price.

Home Sales Remain Slow Amidst Very Challenging Economic Environment

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 22:11:46 GMT

Vancouver, BC – April 15, 2026. The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) reports that 5,766 residential unit sales were recorded in Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) Systems in March 2026, down 3.6 per cent from March 2025. The average MLS® residential price in BC in March 2026 was down 2 per cent at $939,846 compared to $959,236 in March 2025. Total MLS® residential sales dollar volume was $4.21 billion, down 5.6 per cent from the same time the previous year. BC MLS® unit sales were 34.53 per cent lower than the ten-year average for the month of March. “Global conflict leading to rising mortgage rates paired with a sluggish economy are presenting a challenge for a housing market recovery,” said BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson. “Improved affordability and pent-up demand should translate to an acceleration of activity, though the market will need a period of relative calm for households to build confidence.” Year-to-date, BC residential sales dollar volume is down 13 per cent to $12.7 billion, compared with the same period in 2025. Residential unit sales are down 11 per cent year-over-year at 13,595 units, while the average MLS® residential price is also down 2.2 per cent to $933,859.

Buyers and sellers adopting a wait-and-see approach to housing market

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 04:22:14 GMT

VANCOUVER, BC – April 2, 2026 – Home sales registered on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver* continue evolving at a pace similar to last year, with the sales down roughly three per cent from last March.

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 2,032 in March 2026, a 2.8 per cent decrease from the 2,091 sales recorded in March 2025. This was 31.8 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,981).

“Year-to-date, sales are tracking our forecast for the year closely, and the weakness in demand we continue to observe at the aggregate level is unsurprising,” said Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice-president data analytics. “What’s interesting is that the aggregate total masks an emerging divergence among market segments. While the multifamily segment continues to see slower sales, the detached segment may be awakening with sales up, and new listings down from last year.”

There were 5,792 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in March 2026. This represents a 10.3 per cent decrease compared to the 6,455 properties listed in March 2025. This was 4.9 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (5,521).

The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 14,774, a 1.6 per cent increase compared to March 2025 (14,546). This is 38 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (10,704).

Across all detached, attached and apartment property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for March 2026 is 14.2 per cent. By property type, the ratio is 11 per cent for detached homes, 17.2 per cent for attached, and 15.7 per cent for apartments.

“We continue to see fewer sellers stepping into the market than last year, which is keeping inventory levels relatively flat. Pairing this dynamic with sales remaining below long-term averages, we’re not seeing prices move significantly in either direction,” Lis said. “And while the political uncertainty over tariffs may have diminished relative to what we saw in early 2025, the conflict in the middle east is now putting upward pressure on bond yields and fixed mortgage rates.

“As a result, it’s reasonable to expect there may be a dampening effect on demand as we head into the spring market, absent a swift resolution to the conflict.”

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,104,300. This represents a 6.8 per cent decrease over March 2025 and a 0.4 per cent increase compared to February 2026.

Sales of detached homes in March 2026 reached 571, an 8.3 per cent increase from the 527 detached sales recorded in March 2025. The benchmark price for a detached home is $1,854,800. This represents an 8.2 per cent decrease from March 2025 and a 1 per cent increase compared to February 2026.

Sales of apartment homes reached 999 in March 2026, a 7.8 per cent decrease compared to the 1,084 sales in March 2025. The benchmark price of an apartment home is $706,700. This represents a 7.8 per cent decrease from March 2025 and a 0.2 per cent decrease compared to February 2026.

Attached home sales in March 2026 totalled 446, a 5.5 per cent decrease compared to the 472 sales in March 2025. The benchmark price of a townhouse is $1,047,100. This represents a 5.7 per cent decrease from March 2025 and a 0.1 per cent increase compared to February 2026.

Market Activity Flounders Throughout the Province

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 18:08:30 GMT

Vancouver, BC – March 12, 2026. The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) reports that 4,516 residential unit sales were recorded in Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) Systems in February 2026, down 9.7 per cent from February 2025.

The average MLS® residential price in BC in February 2026 was down 2.9 per cent at $932,243 compared to $960,572 in February 2025. Total MLS® residential sales dollar volume was $4.21 billion, down 12.3 per cent from the same time the previous year. BC MLS® unit sales were 32.87 per cent lower than the ten-year average for the month of February.

“Housing market activity continues to struggle, with sales declining from every region in the province compared to the same time last year,” said BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson. “We hope that improved affordability conditions in most regions and stable rates will motivate prospective demand to enter the market and drive stronger sales activity over the rest of the year.”

Year-to-date, BC residential sales dollar volume is down 17.8 per cent to $7.3 billion, compared with the same period in 2025. Residential unit sales are down 15.8 per cent year-over-year at 7,832 units, while the average MLS® residential price is also down 2.4 per cent to $929,323.

New normal for Metro Vancouver’s housing market continues

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 19:53:50 GMT

Metro Vancouver* home sales registered on the MLS® in February continued the recent trend of slower-than-average sales, seeing a ten per cent decline over the same period last year.

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 1,648 in February 2026, a 9.8 per cent decrease from the 1,827 sales recorded in February 2025. This was 28.7 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,310).

“With each passing data point, the pace of sales running well-below long-term averages are no longer a surprise – it’s become the new norm,” said Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice-president data analytics. “A surprising finding this February, however, is that home sellers appear less eager to list their homes relative to last year with new listings down about seven percent, mostly driven by fewer listings in the apartment segment.”

There were 4,734 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in February 2026. This represents a 6.4 per cent decrease compared to the 5,057 properties listed in February 2025. This was 7.1 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (4,421).

The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 13,545, a 6.3 per cent increase compared to February 2025 (12,744). This is 37 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (9,886).

Across all detached, attached and apartment property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for February 2026 is 12.6 per cent. By property type, the ratio is nine per cent for detached homes, 16.6 per cent for attached, and 14.1 per cent for apartments.

“With fewer sellers coming to market with their properties than last year, a pick-up in demand heading into the spring could result in a stagnation of standing inventory, which may support prices around current levels,” Lis said. “With sales slightly outpacing our 2026 forecast year to-date, the spring market will be the litmus test of whether we continue along this new normal, or if we see any significant surprises.”

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,100,300. This represents a 6.8 per cent decrease over February 2025 and a 0.1 per cent decrease compared to January 2026.

Sales of detached homes in February 2026 reached 427, a 10.5 per cent decrease from the 477 detached sales recorded in February 2025. The benchmark price for a detached home is $1,835,900. This represents an 8.8 per cent decrease from February 2025 and a 0.8 per cent decrease compared to January 2026.

Sales of apartment homes reached 824 in February 2026, a 15.6 per cent decrease compared to the 976 sales in February 2025. The benchmark price of an apartment home is $708,200. This represents a 6.8 per cent decrease from February 2025 and a 0.5 per cent increase compared to January 2026.

Attached home sales in February 2026 totalled 387, a 7.8 per cent increase compared to the 359 sales in February 2025. The benchmark price of a townhouse is $1,046,100. This represents a 5.6 per cent decrease from February 2025 and a 0.3 per cent increase compared to January 2026.

2026 Kicks Off With Weak Sales Activity

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 19:15:22 GMT

Vancouver, BC – February 11, 2026. The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) reports that 3,314 residential unit sales were recorded in Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) Systems in January 2026, down 22.9 per cent from January 2025. The average MLS® residential price in BC in January 2026 was down 1.9 per cent at $924,239 compared to $942,384 in January 2025.

Total MLS® residential sales dollar volume was $3.06 billion, down 24.4 per cent from the same time the previous year. BC MLS® unit sales were 30.97 per cent lower than the ten-year average for the month of January.

“British Columbia’s housing market kicked off 2026 with its second weakest January since 2016, with sales in almost every region falling short of historical averages,” said BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson. “Despite a slow start, we expect stable rates and improved affordability conditions to release pent-up demand with sales picking up over the course of 2026.”

His Bargaining Skills Were Top-Notch

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 19:16:41 GMT

"As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I were initially overwhelmed by the process, but Hafez Panju made the entire experience completely frictionless. He didn't just show us properties; he provided all the granular data and market insights we needed to make a confident, informed decision together.
What we appreciated most was how Hafez helped us filter out the 'noise'—he was instrumental in clarifying what actually mattered in a home versus what didn't. When it came time to talk numbers, his bargaining skills were top-notch, and he secured us an amazing deal that we are absolutely thrilled with. He acted as a true guide and strategist for both of us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better partner for our first home purchase."

New year, same housing market in Metro Vancouver

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 00:04:57 GMT

VANCOUVER, BC – February 3, 2026 – Last year’s market trends continued in January as home sales registered on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver* were 28.5 per cent lower than last year, setting the year off to a quieter start.

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 1,107 in January 2026, a 28.7 per cent decrease from the 1,552 sales recorded in January 2025. This was 30.9 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (1,602).

“On their own, the January sales appear alarming, but it’s important to put these figures in the context of the past few years. Last year ended with one of the lowest sales totals in over two decades, and so it’s not surprising that the January sales figures were fourth slowest in over two decades as well,” said Andrew Lis, GVR’s chief economist and vice-president, data analytics. “Market momentum is a slowly evolving force, and in many ways, the January figures represent a market that continues slowly evolving to what may be a new normal.

” There were 5,157 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in January 2026. This represents a 7.3 per cent decrease compared to the 5,566 properties listed in January 2025. This was 19.4 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (4,318).

The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 12,628, a 9.9 per cent increase compared to January 2025 (11,494). This is 38 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (9,153).

Across all detached, attached and apartment property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for January 2026 is 9.1 per cent. By property type, the ratio is 6.7 per cent for detached homes, 11.1 per cent for attached, and 10.3 per cent for apartments.

“Our recent 2026 forecast suggests this year is likely to resemble 2025 on many fronts, and we expect sales to remain tepid. When paired with sellers remaining eager to list, inventory will likely remain elevated relative to historical averages and, as a result, we expect prices to finish the year relatively unchanged,” Lis said. “As consumers adjust to the ongoing backdrop of political and economic uncertainty, we expect a degree of pent-up demand to re-enter the market at some point. Whether it will happen in 2026 remains an open question, and we’ll be watching the market closely for signs of improvement.”

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,101,900. This represents a 5.7 per cent decrease over January 2025 and a 1.2 per cent decrease compared to December 2025.

Sales of detached homes in January 2026 reached 300, a 21.1 per cent decrease from the 380 detached sales recorded in January 2025. The benchmark price for a detached home is $1,850,800. This represents a 7.3 per cent decrease from January 2025 and a 1.5 per cent decrease compared to December 2025.

Sales of apartment homes reached 554 in January 2026, a 34.5 per cent decrease compared to the 846 sales in January 2025. The benchmark price of an apartment home is $704,600. This represents a 5.9 per cent decrease from January 2025 and a 0.8 per cent decrease compared to December 2025.

Attached home sales in January 2026 totalled 246, a 23.4 per cent decrease compared to the 321 sales in January 2025. The benchmark price of a townhouse is $1,043,400. This represents a 5.4 per cent decrease from January 2025 and a 1.2 per cent decrease compared to December 2025.
