“Minimal Shifts in Housing Market as Year End Nears”
The Greater Vancouver Realtor (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 1,846 in November 2025, a 15.4% decrease from the 2,181 sales recorded in November 2024.
“As the year draws to a close, the data continues telling a story of a market with many buyers patiently waiting and sellers adjusting to market conditions not seen in years,” said Andrew Lis, GVR’s chief economist and vice-president, data analytics. “Inventory remains healthy, providing buyers ample choice, which, by contrast, is pushing sellers to accept that pricing must reflect this new reality. Buyers and sellers are striking deals when their expectations are aligned and reflective of the current market – not the market of years ago.”
