Detached homes are gaining momentum in Metro Vancouver, while condos and townhomes are seeing softer demand.

April home sales stayed relatively steady year over year, with 2,110 properties sold across Metro Vancouver. That’s slightly down from last year and still below the 10 year average.

The trend is becoming more clear across the region:

🏡 Detached homes are seeing stronger buyer demand

🏢 Condos and townhomes are moving slower

This could signal a bigger shift in buyer behaviour heading into the rest of 2026.

With the weather finally turning, patio season is officially back in Vancouver. Whether you’re looking for a waterfront dinner, a casual happy hour, or a sunny brunch spot after a weekend showing, here are a few of my favourite restaurant patios around Vancouver and North Vancouver right now.

Kitsilano
One of the best neighbourhoods in the city for relaxed summer patios.

• LOCAL Public Eatery Kitsilano

Right across from Kits Beach with great people watching and an unbeatable sunset vibe.

• Radish restaurant

A newer favourite with a stylish patio and excellent Italian-inspired dishes.

Yaletown

Perfect for late afternoon drinks or dinner after work.
• SOCIAL CORNER YALETOWN

Lively atmosphere, great cocktails, and one of the better patios in the area.

• Alchemy Bar and Kitchen

Smaller hidden gem with a great tucked-away patio feel.

Coal Harbour & Waterfront

For visitors or anyone wanting classic Vancouver scenery.

• Miku

Still one of the best waterfront dining experiences in the city.

• Social Corner- Coal Harbour

Beautiful newer patio with marina views and a relaxed atmosphere.

Mount Pleasant

More laid back patios with a neighbourhood feel.

• Mount Pleasant Vintage & Provisions

Great cocktails and one of the better casual patios for summer evenings.

• The Farmhouse

Cozy hidden patio that feels surprisingly tucked away from the city.

North Vancouver

Some of the best waterfront patios in the region are on the North Shore.

• King Taps Lonsdale Quay

Probably one of the best skyline views anywhere in Metro Vancouver.

• Arms Reach Bistro

A Deep Cove favourite with a quieter patio atmosphere.

If you have a patio spot you think I should add to the list this summer, send it my way. I’m always looking for new favourites.

Enjoy the sunshine!

Spring is finally here, and the most important shift underway isn’t just numerical, it’s behavioural.

Buyers are starting to step off the sidelines with more confidence, while fewer sellers are testing those aspirational, unrealistic price points we saw earlier. Instead, both sides are coming to the table with a much clearer understanding of value, what homes are actually worth, and where the market is today.

That shift in mindset is important. It reduces friction. It leads to more meaningful conversations, cleaner negotiations, and ultimately more deals getting done.

When buyers and sellers are aligned on expectations, the market naturally starts to feel more stable. Not because things are booming, but because they’re making sense again.

And that kind of environment tends to create opportunity on both sides.

Twas the deal before Christmas.

Patience, understanding market value, and having a client who trusts the process were the most important factors in this one! Congratulations to my awesome client on securing this awesome North Van townhome. Summer nights on that patio are going to be pretty awesome.

Another great property is officially off the market! This deal was full of twists and turns but, armed with realistic expectations, flexibility when appropriate, and good old fashioned stick-to-it-tiveness (sp?), we were able to ensure that all parties were happy and are excited that this home is going to an awesome family. Congratulations to my seller!
