Is the Vancouver Housing Market Stabilizing?

Metro Vancouver Real Estate Market Update – February 2026

The Metro Vancouver housing market is continuing to shift toward more balanced conditions as we approach the spring market. Buyers are seeing more selection, while sellers still benefit from steady demand.

3 Key Market Stats

1. Sales Activity
There were 1,648 homes sold in February 2026, about 9.8% fewer than February last year. GVR-Stats-Package-February-2026

2. More Homes for Sale
There are currently 13,545 homes listed across Metro Vancouver, which is 37% above the 10-year seasonal average. GVR-Stats-Package-February-2026

3. Home Prices
The benchmark price across all residential property types is $1,100,300.

Benchmark prices by property type:

• Detached homes: $1,835,900

• Townhomes: $1,046,100

• Apartments: $708,200

What This Means

The sales-to-active listings ratio is currently 12.6%, suggesting the market is moving toward balanced conditions.

For buyers, this means more choice and less competition than in recent years.
For sellers, well-priced and well-presented homes are still attracting serious buyers.

As we move into the spring market, increased buyer activity could help stabilize inventory and support prices.
