After a turbulent start to the year, the Metro Vancouver housing market is beginning to show signs of stabilization. According to the Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR), residential home sales in June 2025 totaled 2,181—down 9.8% from June 2024. While still below the 10-year seasonal average, this marks a notable improvement over May’s steeper year-over-year decline.
GVR’s director of economics, Andrew Lis, notes that, “Sales activity appears to be rounding the corner. If current momentum holds, we may soon see year-over-year increases.”
Inventory and New Listings on the Rise
In June, 6,315 homes were newly listed—up 10.3% from the previous year and 12.7% above the 10-year average. Total active listings reached 17,561, a 23.8% increase year-over-year. This growing supply is giving buyers more options than they’ve had in years.
Sales-to-Active Listings Ratios (June 2025):
Detached: 9.9%
Townhomes: 16.9%
Apartments: 13.9%
With most segments in balanced market territory, prices have remained relatively steady.
Benchmark Prices by Property Type:
Detached homes: $1,994,500 (↓3.2% YoY)
Townhomes: $1,103,900 (↓3.0% YoY)
Apartments: $748,400 (↓3.2% YoY)
Overall benchmark price: $1,173,100, down 2.8% from June 2024.
Despite the year-over-year dips, buyers are enjoying more favorable conditions. Inventory is high, competition is moderate, and mortgage rates have eased approximately two percent from last summer.
