📊August Market Stats: Metro Vancouver’s Summer Market Ends with Slower Sales📊
•
•
Home sales registered on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver declined 4.6% compared to August last year, marking the end of a summer season that underperformed the summer of 2025.
“Previously, we’ve noted that inventory levels have receded from their 2025 heights. This gradual decline, paired with slower-than-usual sales, has caused prices to drift downwards across all market segments, with the composite price index now down approximately 6% year over year,” Lis said. “Ample selection, softening prices, and stable mortgage rates are considered favorable buying conditions, but they haven’t been enough to bring many buyers off the sidelines. While the renewed trade tensions with the USA are an unwelcome distraction for the market, we still believe the main drivers of this soft market are the slowdown in immigration to our region, reduced investor demand, and mortgage rates that aren’t low enough to incentivize robust buying activity.”
As we transition from summer into the fall market, it will be interesting to see how activity responds. With many sellers traditionally waiting until after the Labour Day long weekend to list, we expect to see more inventory come to market. For buyers, current conditions may present some favourable opportunities.
🏡 Sales of detached homes totalled 557 in August, down 3.1% from 575 last year. The benchmark price is $1,799,400, down 7.2% year over year and 1.3% compared to July.
🏡 Sales of apartments totalled 891 in August, down 6.8% from 956 last year. The benchmark price is $686,200, down 6.6% year over year and 0.3% compared to July.
🏡 Sales of attached homes totalled 412 in August, up 0.7% from 409 last year. The benchmark townhouse price is $1,028,800, down 4.4% year over year and 0.2% compared to July.

Oakridge Mall is finally opening its doors and it’s one of the most significant developments Vancouver has seen, making it a project that will shape the future of the Cambie Corridor.
Here’s what you can expect:
✨Canada’s First Time Out Market
One of the biggest highlights is Canada’s first Time Out Market which includes 20 of Vancouver’s most celebrated restaurants. Some of the restaurants include Lunch Lady, Heritage Asian Eatery, DownLow Chicken and Via Tevere along with bars, live entertainment and a large outdoor patio.
✨More Than 100 Retailers
Oakridge features more than 100 retailers, including Vancouver flagships for many luxury brands and Vancouver favorites like Aritzia, lululemon, Sephora, and Crate & Barrel.
✨Direct Canada Line Access
Located directly above Oakridge is 41st Avenue Station. You can reach Downtown Vancouver and YVR in about 15 minutes making Oakridge an extremely transit-connected destination.
✨A New Urban Hub
Once complete, it will include more than 3,000 homes, 700,000 sqft. of office space, a 9-acre public park, one of Vancouver’s largest community centres and the West Side’s largest public library.
Why It Matters?
We love following projects that shape the future of our city. Developments like Oakridge Mall bring new amenities, improve connectivity, and create vibrant communities that benefit not only the surrounding neighbourhood but Vancouver as a whole.

Congratulations to our clients on securing this absolute gem on 7th Heaven!
This one feels a little extra special for us. Scott and Amanda used to live on West 7th, so we know firsthand just how special this street is. Tucked into one of Vancouver’s most loved neighbourhoods, it truly is a little slice of heaven, and we can’t wait for our clients to call it home.
This home has been lovingly cared for by the same family since the building was built, and it shows in every detail. Our clients fell for exactly that, and they’re excited to carry that same care and history forward as they make it their own.
The summer months can be quieter in Vancouver real estate, with fewer new listings hitting the market. But every once in a while, a true gem comes along. We’re so happy we were able to recognize the opportunity and secure this one for our clients.
Cheers to our buyers, the sellers, and everyone involved in making this one come together!

Offered at: $969,900

The best opportunity isn’t always the one that shows up on MLS. 🏡
•

When our clients are searching for something specific, we don’t just wait for a new listing to appear. We take a proactive approach.
That can mean reconnecting with owners of expired listings, reaching out to homeowners in specific buildings or neighbourhoods, leveraging our network of trusted Vancouver Realtors, or tapping into the relationships we’ve built over the years.
Not every conversation leads to a sale, but sometimes those conversations uncover opportunities that would have otherwise never existed. That’s one of the ways we help our clients expand their search beyond what’s publicly available.
If you’re struggling to find the perfect fit let’s talk about how we can expand the search beyond MLS.
📊 July 2026 Market Report 📊
•
•
“Last month, we reported broad gains in home sales across all home types, raising the question of whether demand would continue to build into the summer. Instead, July sales were down nearly ten per cent, led by an 18 per cent drop in apartment sales, confirming to market watchers that the June momentum was not sustained,” said Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice-president data analytics.
New listings also dropped by 11% as fewer homeowners chose to bring their properties to market, particularly in the apartment segment. This is starting to reduce the overall supply of homes for sale, but inventory remains elevated compared to historical levels. With both buyers and sellers taking a more cautious approach, prices have remained relatively stable, suggesting the market is still balanced without strong pressure for prices to move significantly in either direction.
The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 2,061 in July 2026, a 9.8% decrease from the 2,286 sales recorded in July 2025. This was 18.6% below the 10-year seasonal average (2,532).
🏡 Sales of detached homes: totalled 639 in July, down 3.2% from 660 last year. The benchmark price is $1,822,900, down 7% year over year and 1.1% compared to June.
🏡 Sales of apartments: totalled 952 in July, down 17.8% from 1,158 last year. The benchmark price is $688,000, down 7.5% year over year and 1% compared to June.
🏡 Sales of attached homes: totalled 454 in July, down 1.1% from 459 last year. The benchmark townhouse price is $1,030,400, down 6% year over year and 1.5% compared to June.
