    GVR also reported a sales-to-new-listings ratio (SNLR) of 35%, indicating a Buyers in Vancouver for June 2025.


    Vancouver Housing Inventory Builds as Prices Hold Steady

    According to the Greater Vancouver Realtors(GVR), home sales across Metro Vancouver are beginning to stabilize after a turbulent start to the year. A total of 2,181 homes were sold in June 2025, down 9.8% from the same time last year. While still 25% below the 10-year average, this marks a notable improvement from May’s steeper decline.

    • MLS HPI composite benchmark price: $1,173,100 (down 2.8 % year-over-year)
    • Total sales: 2,181 units (down 9.8% from June 2024)
    • New listings: 6,315 properties (up 10.3% year-over-year)
    • Total active listings: 17,561 (up 23.8% year-over-year)
    • Sales-to-active listings ratio (SNLR): 12.8% overall

    Sales Activity Starting to Rebound

    While home sales in Metro Vancouver were still lower than last June, the drop was half the size of May’s decline, pointing to a market that may be starting to turn the corner. Inventory, on the other hand, is growing faster than sales, giving buyers more selection across all property types. 

    The market remains balanced, although conditions are softer for detached homes, indicating an extreme buyers’ market, with a sales-to-active listings ratio (SNLR) of just under 10%. According to GVR’s director of economics, Andrew Lis, if momentum continues, year-over-year sales could soon turn positive, indicating that the demand rebound is underway.

    Home Prices Remain Flat Across Metro Vancouver

    Despite the added inventory, home prices have not shifted much. The composite benchmark price for all residential properties slipped 0.3% from May and remains 2.8% below the June 2024 level. Most of the decline is concentrated in the detached and apartment/condo segments, which have both experienced annual price drops of 3.2%. Attached townhomes have been the most stable, with a benchmark price of $1,103,900, down 3% year-over-year.

    Detached Homes Facing Slower Demand

    Detached home sales reached 657 units in June, down slightly from the year before. Benchmark pricing is now $1,994,500, representing a 3.2% decrease from last June. While home prices have held relatively steady month-over-month, the low sales ratio suggests continued price softness ahead. On average, detached homes spend 36 days on the market.

    Townhomes Show Relative Resilience

    Townhome sales rose 3.7% year-over-year, the only property type to post an annual gain in transactions. Despite that, prices eased to $1,103,900, a three percent dip from last year. Conditions are most balanced in this segment, with a sales-to-active listings ratio of nearly 17% and an average time on market of 29 days.

    Apartment Market Still Under Pressure

    Apartments saw the sharpest decline in sales volume, down 16.5% from last June. Inventory is growing, and sales activity remains well below seasonal norms. The benchmark price fell to $748,400, representing a 3.2% decline year-over-year and a 1.2% drop compared to May. The average unit now takes 35 days to sell.

    Mortgage Strategy for Vancouver Borrowers

    Vancouver’s housing market is sitting in one of its most balanced positions in years. Buyers now have more options, less competition, and relatively flat prices. That’s a shift from the highly competitive conditions of 2021 and 2022.

    For homebuyers, this could be the most buyer-friendly stretch in recent memory, particularly for those targeting detached homes or condo/apartments. Mortgage renewers still face a higher interest rate environment, but with home prices holding steady or declining, there may be less risk of appraisal surprises. Refinancers should note that rising inventory and lower benchmark prices in certain areas may limit the home equity that can be accessed.

    If this stabilizing trend in demand and softening prices continues, it will strengthen the case for the Bank of Canada to cut rates in the latter part of the year. That could increase affordability for a broader range of buyers, especially those currently on the sidelines.
