Home sales remain low but recovering slowly, says BCREA
While the latest BCREA figures show that residential home sales across British Columbia dipped by 4.8% in August, reaching $5.2 billion, there’s a sense of careful optimism in the air as the market works through its gradual recovery. The average price settled at $924,826—a 1% decrease—while the sales volume slipped 5.5% to 46,069 homes. In Greater Vancouver, prices edged down 1.3% and sales eased by 3.6%. For those of us in the Tri City areas, as well as surrounding communities like Burnaby, New Westminster, and Maple Ridge, these numbers are more than just statistics—they reflect the real experiences of buyers and sellers navigating the shifting landscape. Staying closely tuned to these trends is key to making smart decisions, whether you’re considering your next move or simply keeping an eye on the market.

BC Standing Inventory Reached 6.7K
Standing inventory across BC has reached 6,700 homes, with 5,500 of those being condos—including a mix of condos, townhomes, and some multiplex options available throughout the province. What really stands out to me, as someone who works daily in areas like Coquitlam, Burnaby, Vancouver, Surrey, and New Westminster, is how widespread this inventory is. Burnaby currently leads with 1,210 unsold homes, followed by Vancouver (1,020), Surrey (798), and Coquitlam (620). Richmond (396), Kelowna (372), Langley Township (276), New Westminster (224), and Delta (211) also have notable inventory levels, highlighting availability well beyond just the largest cities. Even cities like Langford (188), Esquimalt (173), North Vancouver (135), Abbotsford (118), and Chilliwack (100) contribute to a combined city total of 5,840 homes. While it’s easy to assume the surplus stems mostly from studio and one-bedroom presales, broader size and average price data across BC actually tell a more nuanced story. For those navigating their options in the Tri City area or beyond, understanding the real makeup of available homes is key.

Mid-year outlook for Canada's housing market: Between correction and recovery
As someone deeply involved in real estate across the Tri City areas and beyond, I’m always keeping a close eye on the big picture—especially as we reach the midpoint of the year. For 2026, Canada’s housing market is showing some encouraging signs: resales are on the rise, inventory is stabilizing, and price declines are slowing. While there are challenges ahead, like potential immigration cuts and rising interest rates, the outlook for 2027 suggests a modest rebound. Understanding these trends helps us navigate what’s ahead together in Port Moody, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and our neighboring communities.

Metro Vancouver Buyers Enjoy More Choices in Real Estate Market
It’s been a quieter August for Metro Vancouver real estate, with sales down 4.6% compared to last year. A combination of high mortgage rates, softer investor interest, and slower immigration has contributed to the shift. Home prices also reflected this change, dipping 5.6% to $1,081,900. In the Fraser Valley, the trend was even more pronounced, with sales down 14% and prices falling 7% to $869,900. As someone who closely follows the Tri Cities, New Westminster, Burnaby, and beyond, I always keep an eye on how these market movements play out locally. Understanding these fluctuations is key to making informed decisions, whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or simply stay up to date.

Housing affordability improved in July from June
July brought a bit of relief for homebuyers across Canada, with home prices dipping in 10 out of 13 major markets—including Vancouver, one of the regions I keep a close eye on for my clients. This decrease meant that the income required to qualify for mortgages dropped slightly. While mortgage rates edged down a bit, it was really the price adjustments that made homeownership a touch more accessible. Keeping an eye on these shifts is essential, especially if you’re considering a move in the Tri City area or Greater Vancouver. It’s all about timing and understanding what these market changes mean for your next step.

Want Buyers To Remember Your Home? Do These
The Bank of Canada is keeping its key interest rate steady at 2.25%. This decision comes as the country’s economic recovery continues, but with inflation risks still top of mind. In the second quarter, Canada’s GDP grew by 3.3%, and July saw unemployment dip to 6.4%. The next rate update is scheduled for October 28, 2026, when the Bank will review how inflation and the broader economy are evolving.

As someone focused on real estate across the Tri Cities and surrounding areas, I understand how these economic shifts can factor into your plans, whether you're buying, selling, or investing. Staying informed about changes in the market is key to making confident decisions.
