Home sales activity is picking up in Greater Vancouver.
Earlier this year, the market was very quiet. In January, Greater Vancouver recorded 1,102 sales. By June, that number had increased to 2,382 sales — more than double. Some of that increase is seasonal, since sales activity normally picks up through the spring market, so it needs to be understood in context. But even with that in mind, the increase is still worth watching.
Sales activity often tells us something price alone cannot. When buyers begin to re-enter the market, it can suggest growing confidence. They may feel more comfortable with current prices, more confident about where the market is heading, or more motivated to act while selection is still relatively good. This does not mean the market is suddenly hot, but it does suggest the tone may be changing.
For buyers and move-up buyers, there may still be a window of opportunity: more choice, less pressure, and more room to negotiate than we typically see in a busier market. But if sales continue to rise, that window may start to narrow.
For sellers, increased buyer activity is encouraging — but preparation and pricing still matter. The homes that stand out are still the ones that are well-presented, well-positioned, and priced realistically.
If you are thinking about buying, selling, or moving up, this may be a good time to talk through your options before the market becomes more crowded.
