Vancouver Resales Edge Up
Vancouver’s resale market is showing fresh signs of life—resales rose about 10% month-over-month, surpassing 2,000 homes sold for the first time in nine months. While prices are still easing, it’s more of a gentle slope now, with the local home price index down roughly 6% from last year. The atmosphere has been tempered by economic uncertainty and ongoing trade tensions, which have left some buyers feeling cautious. Still, this month’s uptick is a reminder that Vancouver’s market remains dynamic. One economist even described the slowdown as a temporary detour, not a major shift—worth keeping an eye on, but not a reason for alarm. As someone who’s navigated neighborhoods from Central Lonsdale to West Vancouver, I’m watching these trends closely. The outlook suggests stability ahead through 2026 and into 2027, with Vancouver’s housing path likely to follow the broader recovery. If you’re weighing your next move, keeping informed is key.

Home Improvements That Can Actually Increase Your Property Value
As someone who’s had the privilege of helping clients buy and sell homes throughout North Vancouver, Vancouver West, and beyond, I’ve seen firsthand how smart upgrades can make a real difference in property value. Features like modernized kitchens, refreshed bathrooms, new windows and doors, updated flooring, finished basements, better insulation, improved lighting, landscaping, and even backup generators can all help boost your home’s resale appeal. Whether you’re thinking about a move in Central Lonsdale, Deep Cove, or West Vancouver, these improvements can set your property apart and maximize its value.

RBC: Housing recovery is coming, but don't expect a boom
We're seeing signs of a housing market recovery across Canada—resales are picking up, inventory is holding steady, and price declines are slowing down. According to RBC, while 2026 may still bring some softening in sales and prices, 2027 looks set for a modest improvement, thanks to pent-up demand and improving affordability. In my experience working in neighbourhoods from North Vancouver to Langley, these trends often play out differently in each community, but the underlying factors remain the same. Keeping a close eye on these shifts helps me guide clients through changing conditions, whether they're buying or selling.

Canada's housing markets show persistent regional splits
Regional differences continue to shape the story of Canada’s housing markets. We’re seeing Toronto’s recovery lose momentum as prices dip, while Ottawa experiences price growth. Out west, BC’s prices are still on the decline, though the pace has slowed—a trend many of us are watching closely here in the Vancouver area. Montreal’s buyers are grappling with affordability, and although Calgary and Edmonton are cooling, both cities are still seeing a lift from strong population growth. As someone who has worked across North Vancouver, Vancouver West, and beyond, I’m always attentive to how these shifts impact our local neighborhoods and the decisions facing buyers and sellers alike.

BC Standing Inventory Reached 6.7K
Standing inventory in BC recently reached 6,700 homes, with condos making up 5,500 of those units. This number includes a mix of condos, townhomes, and some multiplex properties across the province, not just in the largest markets. Burnaby currently tops the list with 1,210 unsold homes, followed by Vancouver at 1,020, Surrey at 798, and Coquitlam at 620. Richmond, Kelowna, Langley Township, New Westminster, and Delta also show notable inventory levels, reminding us that supply extends well beyond the typical hotspots. Other areas such as Langford, Esquimalt, North Vancouver, Abbotsford, and Chilliwack contribute significantly, bringing the total in these tracked cities to 5,840. While there's been some talk about the market being flooded with studio and one-bedroom presale units, the broader data on home sizes and average prices across BC tells a more nuanced story. In markets like North Vancouver, Vancouver West, and Burnaby—areas I know well from experience—these numbers provide valuable context for both buyers and sellers keeping an eye on local trends.

Canada’s Housing Recovery Won’t Be a Boom
We’re seeing encouraging signs of a housing market recovery in Canada, but it’s not shaping up to be a dramatic upswing. Since early Q2, there’s been steady improvement in home resales, inventories are balancing out, and prices are either stabilizing or experiencing a gentler pace of easing. The latest bank projections suggest that in 2026, home resales could dip by about 4% to 453,200 and benchmark prices may decrease around 2% to $794,200, even as things improve. By 2027, resales are forecast to rise about 7% to 483,600 and benchmark values could see a slight increase—less than 1%—to $800,700. This points to a gradual recovery rather than a boom. One major factor is pent-up demand: it’s estimated more than 400,000 Canadian households might not have formed since 2019, as many postponed their purchasing decisions. Of course, the outlook still depends on affordability, stable growth, and consumer confidence. With rates likely bottomed out and potential disruptions from trade tensions, staying informed is key. In my work across North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, and beyond, I keep a close eye on these trends to help clients navigate their options with confidence.
