Favorable Conditions Ahead – But Will Demand Follow??

Home sales recorded on the MLS across Metro Vancouver ended 2025 down 10%, marking the lowest annual sales total in more than twenty years.

“This year was one for the history books. Although the sales total was the lowest in over two decades, Realtors were still busy listing properties. Sellers brought the highest total of listings to market on record since the mid-1990s, eclipsing the previous record high in 2008 by a little over 1,000 listings.” Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice-president data analytics. 

“With sales down and inventory remaining plentiful, prices eased across all property types since the start of 2025. Sales and prices weren’t the only metrics that came down, borrowing costs fell nearly one full percentage point,” said Lis. “With lower prices, lower borrowing costs, and plenty of inventory to choose from, homebuyers in 2026 are starting the year with favorable conditions. 

🏡 DETACHED sales: Decreased 12.8% from December 2024, with 431 sales. The benchmark price for a detached home is $1,879,800 – a 1.1% decrease compared to November 2025.

🏡APARTMENT sales: Decreased 11.2% from December 2024, with 791 sales.The benchmark price for an apartment home is $710,000 – a 0.6% decrease compared to November 2025.

Congratulations to our wonderful clients on the successful sale of their Fairview home! From day one, this listing drew strong interest, with steady weekend open houses and great traffic coming through.

In the end, the perfect buyer walked in at just the right moment — she had been searching for something similar for months and decided to pop into our open house… and we’re so glad she did! It was a perfect match.

This sale is a great reminder of the power of consistency: hosting open houses week after week, following up diligently with groups, and keeping open, ongoing communication with our clients. That transparency on both sides helped everything come together seamlessly.

Thank you R & I, for placing your trust in our team. We’re thrilled for you both — a wonderful early Christmas present and a fantastic way to wrap up the year. 🎄✨
