Vancouver’s resale housing market is showing signs of renewed activity: resales have climbed about 10% month-over-month, surpassing 2,000 homes for the first time in nine months. While prices are still easing, the rate of decline has slowed—Vancouver’s home price index is down roughly 6% year-over-year, which points to softer conditions, but not a dramatic downturn. Ongoing economic uncertainty, especially around trade tensions, has clearly impacted buyer confidence. Still, the recent gain in resales stands out as a positive signal. Economists are calling this slowdown more of a pause than a fundamental shift, and suggest it’s worth keeping a close eye on these trends, rather than worrying about major changes. The outlook expects stabilization through the rest of 2026 and into 2027, with Vancouver’s trajectory closely tied to how the broader recovery unfolds. As a realtor focused on strategic sales and precise pricing, I’m watching these market changes closely to ensure clients are well positioned—whether planning to buy or sell in Greater Vancouver.
