Metro Vancouver Real Estate Market – April Snapshot
April continued the steady recovery of the Metro Vancouver housing market, making it the strongest month for sales since last fall. While activity isn’t back to peak levels yet, things are clearly moving in the right direction.
What’s happening right now??????
Sales are increasing gradually
More homes are hitting the market
Buyers have more choice
The market is becoming more balanced
Detached homes led the way, with sales up 14% compared to last year, showing renewed confidence—especially in the family home segment. Condos and townhomes saw slightly lower activity.
Overall, there were 2,110 home sales in April, up from previous months, though still below long-term averages. This shows buyers are returning, just at a more cautious pace.
Inventory is rising—but that’s a good thing.
More listings mean less pressure and more options for buyers. At the same time, homes are still selling steadily, keeping the market stable rather than slowing it down.
What does this mean for you?
Buyers: You have more options and less competition than in past years
Sellers: Well-priced homes—especially in popular areas—are still selling.
Some areas like Burnaby, Coquitlam and parts of Vancouver are seeing strong activity, while others remain steady and balanced.
Big picture:
This isn’t a slowdown—it’s a healthy reset. The market is shifting from fast-paced and competitive to more stable and predictable.
With interest rates holding steady and demand still present, spring and summer 2026 look like a great window to make a move—whether you’re buying or selling.
