The May numbers are in, and Metro Vancouver is still giving buyers more room to breathe.
There is more inventory on the market, sales are sitting below the seasonal average, and pricing is moving carefully depending on property type and neighbourhood.
Here is the quick snapshot:
Sales: 2,150
Down 3.5% from May 2025
Down 26.6% below the 10-year seasonal average
Active listings: 16,917

What does this mean?
Buyers have more choice.
Sellers are competing with more listings.
And both sides need to pay close attention to pricing, timing, and strategy.
The market is surely moving — just more carefully.
