BC Standing Inventory Reached 6.7K | Personal Real Estate Corporation
Itâs always helpful to see the bigger picture when it comes to real estate trends across BC. Recent numbers show that standing inventory provincewide has reached 6,700 homes. That includes 5,500 condos, along with a mix of townhomes and some multiplex unitsânot just in the biggest cities, but in communities throughout BC. For example, Burnaby currently leads with 1,210 unsold homes, followed by Vancouver (1,020), Surrey (798), and Coquitlam (620). Even beyond the Lower Mainland, places like Richmond (396), Kelowna (372), and Langley Township (276) all contribute to the total, with inventory clearly spread across the province. Here in the interior, weâre seeing similar trendsâwith communities like Abbotsford (118) and Chilliwack (100) included in the most recent tally.
Thereâs been some talk that most of these unsold homes are studios or one-bedrooms, but when you look closer at the size and average price data, thereâs a bigger story unfoldingâone that impacts buyers and sellers in every market. With nearly 14 years in real estate, I believe keeping an eye on these broader trends helps all of us make more informed, comfortable decisions, whether youâre thinking about your first home or your next one.
