Metro Vancouver Market Update — April 2026

The market is starting to split by property type 👀

🏡 Detached homes are showing signs of life:
• Sales up 14% year over year
• Buyer confidence appears to be returning first to detached properties

🏢 Meanwhile, condos & townhomes are still softer:
• Apartment sales down 10.7%
• Attached home sales down 2%

📈 Inventory remains high:
• Active listings are nearly 38% above the 10-year average
• Buyers still have options and negotiating power

💰 Prices are still under pressure year over year:
• Detached: -8.3%
• Apartments: -7.9%
• Townhomes: -5.1%

👀 Areas worth watching:
• North Vancouver showing resilience
• Squamish continues to have long-term growth potential
• Burnaby townhomes seeing strong momentum
• Maple Ridge & Port Coquitlam remain attractive for affordability-focused buyers

Bottom line:
This is not a one-size-fits-all market. Buyers have more leverage than they’ve had in years, but certain detached segments are beginning to strengthen. The next few months will be important to watch as spring and summer activity builds.

March Market Update — What to Expect This Spring

Here’s a quick market update based on our 39 years of experience. Real estate markets move in cycles, and the key driver is always supply vs. demand—specifically, the number of homes available in your neighbourhood and price range.

Trying to time the exact bottom of the market is nearly impossible. The most important thing is recognizing when conditions favour buyers. Historically, when the market shifts from a buyer’s market to a seller’s market, it’s common to see 5%–15% equity gains through appreciation.

For buyers focused on value—especially those targeting vacant homes, estate sales, or financially distressed properties—the upside can be even greater, sometimes 20%–30%+, depending on the opportunity and ex*****on.

If this approach interests you, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to walk you through how to identify and capitalize on these opportunities in more detail.

Key Points This Spring:

- Inventory varies by segment: While overall listings may appear high, well-priced, move-in-ready homes in desirable areas often remain in short supply.

- Speed matters in a shifting market: As activity picks up, these well-priced homes are absorbed quickly, making it harder to secure strong value.

-Condition and location still matter: Properties on busy streets or those needing updates tend to sit longer—unless priced aggressively.

-Seasonal momentum is building: March through May typically brings increased listings and buyer activity, creating more opportunities—but also more competition.

If you’d like detailed market stats for your specific neighbourhood and property type—including inventory trends and seasonal patterns—reach out anytime.

We’re here to help you make informed, confident real estate choices.

With the spring market approaching, we typically see an increase in real estate activity throughout March and April.

For buyers, well-priced, move-in-ready homes are often absorbed quickly, which can reduce the number of value opportunities. If you have been considering a purchase, now may be an ideal time to act.

While the overall market has softened over the past year, demand remains high for premium, well-maintained homes in desirable locations. If you are thinking of selling, properties in excellent condition are seeing increased odds of success.

Please keep in mind that market conditions vary significantly by neighborhood and property type. If you would like a detailed market breakdown for a specific area, we are happy to provide one. With over 38 years of combined experience, our team has navigated many market cycles and developed strategies that deliver results in any environment.
