GVR Market Review<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sales are up \u2014 Slowly declining prices \u2014 Fewer New Listings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Vancouver<\/h2>\n

\u00a0Wondering what changed in Metro Vancouver’s real estate market last month?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

June\u2019s Snapshot<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever since a busy October, the number of monthly sales in the Greater Vancouver area has generally been decreasing. January was exceptionally slow, and in that respect, February represented a step in the right direction. But now a larger question looms: is this the new normal? High inventory, hesitant buyers, and sales well below the 10-year average. Based on many analytics\u2014and the majority of 2025\u2014it increasingly appears that it may be.<\/p>\n

Inventory remained elevated at 13,545 active listings, sitting 37% above historical norms. However, there were 2,848 fewer active listings in February compared to October 2025. From this perspective, historically high inventory relative to the 10-year average becomes somewhat less relevant, as listings have still declined significantly over the past four months and the immediacy of that figure is much more important.<\/p>\n

Statistics tell a story, but it often depends on how you interpret them.<\/p>\n

Traditionally, shrinking supply has shifted power toward sellers and led to rising prices. Currently, that isn\u2019t happening. Prices continue to ebb and flow\u2014minor decreases followed by minor increases. Supply remains too high to meaningfully influence pricing in a sustained way\u2026in the historically expected way.<\/p>\n

In many respects, the rules have been broken. The metrics that once acted as a guiding light for the market are no longer as reliable as they once were.<\/p>\n

Below is a snapshot of the current reality for the Greater Vancouver market as a whole.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u2022\u2022<\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s break down the numbers and what they mean for you.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        3. Down 0.1% from May<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          After new listings spiked in April the rate has slowed for the past two months. However, supply remains historically high compared to the 10-year average & new listings during April through June remain elevated compared to the prior six months.<\/p>\n

          The number of monthly sales is the big success story for June. It was the most active month for Greater Vancouver in over a year. Up nearly 10% year over year with a sizable increase month over month. While this is all positive for sellers, even for all its gains June still sat 12.5% below the 10 year average.<\/p>\n

          Month-over-month prices continue to trend downwards between 0.2-0.5% for each segment of the market with year-over-year prices down between 5-7%.<\/strong><\/p>\n
