Demand for all home types in Metro Vancouver* increased
\nto start the summer, with home sales up nearly ten per cent year-over-year in June.<\/p>\n
The Greater Vancouver REALTORS\u00ae (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled
\n2,390 in June 2026, a 9.6 per cent increase from the 2,181 sales recorded in June 2025. This was
\n12.4 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,728).<\/p>\n
\u201cJune saw a pattern of broad gains in home sales across all home types relative to the same
\ntime last year, which has been a rare occurrence in recent years,\u201d said Andrew Lis, GVR chief
\neconomist and vice-president data analytics. \u201cJune\u2019s data could be an early sign of a shift in
\nthe market. In recent years, sales trends have usually been mixed across home types, which is
\ntypical of a sideways trending market. But with all housing types posting gains in June, the
\ndata indicate demand may be returning to the market more broadly.\u201d<\/p>\n
There were 5,938 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the
\nMultiple Listing Service\u00ae (MLS\u00ae) in Metro Vancouver in June 2026. This represents a six per
\ncent decrease compared to the 6,315 properties listed in June 2025. This was 5.9 per cent
\nabove the 10-year seasonal average (5,609).<\/p>\n
The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS\u00ae system in Metro
\nVancouver is 17,017, a 3.1 per cent decrease compared to June 2025 (17,561). This is 30.2 per
\ncent above the 10-year seasonal average (13,070).<\/p>\n
Across all detached, attached and apartment property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio
\nfor June 2026 is 14.6 per cent. By property type, the ratio is 12 per cent for detached homes,
\n17.8 per cent for attached, and 15.5 per cent for apartments.
\nAnalysis of the historical data suggests downward pressure on home prices occurs when the
\nratio dips below 12 per cent for a sustained period, while home prices often experience
\nupward pressure when it surpasses 20 per cent over several months.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite signs that demand is slowly returning to the market, prices haven\u2019t moved much in
\nrecent months as the inventory of homes for sale has been big enough to absorb the
\nincreased demand,\u201d Lis said. \u201cPrices typically trend upwards when demand rises and
\ninventory declines. With recent data revealing a slower pace of new listings coming to
\nmarket, standing inventory is no longer climbing, and may be showing early signs of
\nreversing. It\u2019s still too early to call, but if the current pattern of rising demand and slower new
\nlistings continues, we may see a sustained downtrend in inventory over the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n
