Market Steadies as Year-End Approaches

More Choice for Buyers – More Clarity for Sellers

Metro Vancouver’s housing market remained steady in November, showing signs of a healthier, more balanced environment as we head into 2026. While overall sales were lower than last year, inventory levels continue to rise, giving buyers more options than they’ve had in years and creating opportunities for well-priced homes to stand out.

New listings came in right around seasonal norms, and total inventory is now 36% above the 10-year average, a clear sign that the market is offering breathing room and choice after several intense years. Prices have softened only slightly, suggesting a stable adjustment rather than dramatic swings.

• Benchmark home price: $1,123,700 (down 3.9% year-over-year)
• Sales-to-active listings ratio: 12.6% (balanced-to-buyers’ market range)
• Townhomes remained relatively resilient with a small month-over-month gain.
• Buyers are taking their time—and benefiting from more selection.
• Sellers who price accurately are still achieving strong results.

With borrowing costs expected to hold steady, confidence could improve heading into the spring. Historically, markets that stabilize like this often set the stage for renewed activity early in the new year.

Overall, November reflects a market that is resetting into balance, giving both buyers and sellers a clearer path forward.

Metro Vancouver Real Estate: A Market of Opportunity for Both Buyers and Sellers

October 2025 brought a quieter pace to the Metro Vancouver housing market — a natural seasonal slowdown that has created the most balanced conditions we’ve seen all year.

Market Overview

Home sales across Metro Vancouver reached 2,255 in October, about 14% below last year’s levels and slightly under the 10-year average. Inventory, meanwhile, continued to build — with over 16,000 homes now available, marking a healthy 36% above the long-term seasonal norm.

Even after the Bank of Canada’s fourth rate cut this year, many buyers are still waiting on the sidelines — which means less competition and more negotiating power for those ready to act this fall.

Prices and Conditions

The sales-to-active listings ratio for October was 14.2%, well within balanced territory. Prices have adjusted modestly, with the composite benchmark now at $1,132,500, down just 0.8% month-over-month and 3.4% year-over-year — offering welcome breathing room for buyers after years of rapid appreciation.

• Detached Homes: Benchmark $1,916,400 (-4.3% YoY)

• Townhomes: Benchmark $1,066,700 (-3.8% YoY)

• Apartments: Benchmark $718,900 (-5.1% YoY)

Why This Is Positive

• For Buyers:
  More choice, fewer bidding wars, and softening prices mean a chance to purchase thoughtfully and negotiate favourable terms. With interest rates expected to remain stable through 2025, buyers can shop with confidence knowing conditions are unlikely to tighten suddenly.

• For Sellers:
  Despite slower sales, homes that are well-priced and well-presented continue to move. With inventory starting to ease slightly since summer, sellers who position their listings strategically can still attract qualified, motivated buyers looking to lock in before year-end.

The Bottom Line

After several years of rapid change, Metro Vancouver’s housing market has settled into a healthier balance. For serious buyers and sellers, this period represents a window of opportunity — a time to make moves guided by strategy, not urgency.
