TurningtheCorner?Metro VancouverHomeSales ShowSignsofLifeinJune
After a rocky start to the year, Metro Vancouver’s housing market is showing early signs of recovery. While residential sales were down 9.8% year-over-year in June, the decline was half of what it was in May—hinting at a shift in momentum, according to the Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR).
A total of 2,181 homes sold last month, well below the 10-year seasonal average of 2,940. However, with 6,315 new listings 13% above average buyers have more to choose from. Active listings hit 17,561, up nearly 24% from June 2024.
The market remains balanced, with a sales-to-active listings ratio of 12.8%. Detached homes sat at 9.9%, townhomes at 16.9%, and condos at 13.9%—all hovering near the range where prices typically flatten or decline. Benchmark prices held steady overall. The composite benchmark is $1,173,100, down 2.8% from last year. Detached homes averaged $1,994,500, condos $748,400, and townhomes $1,103,900 each seeing modest monthly declines.
“Sales are regaining traction and mortgage rates are down nearly two percent since last summer,” said Andrew Lis, GVR’s director of economics. “With more inventory and more favorable conditions, buyers have opportunities we haven’t seen in years.”
If trends continue, the market could soon shift from sluggish to strengthening—welcoming a more active second half of 2025.

How Realtors Evaluate Your Property and Why It Matters
For homeowners thinking about selling, one of the first and most important steps is getting a professional home evaluation. But what exactly does that mean—and why should it matter to you?
A home evaluation, often called a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), is how realtors determine your home’s current market value. It’s based on local data: recent sales of similar properties, homes currently on the market, and
expired listings in your area. Realtors also factor in unique details like your home’s condition, size, renovations, location, and special features like views, outdoor space, or suite potential.
Unlike online estimators, a realtor’s evaluation is tailored, accurate, and grounded in current market trends. It’s not just about price it’s about strategy. Pricing your home correctly from the start attracts serious buyers, reduces
time on market, and can even spark multiple offers. Overpricing, on the other hand, can lead to a stale listing and lost opportunities.
For sellers, a home evaluation also sets the stage for your next steps. It gives clarity on your financial picture, helps plan your move, and allows your realtor to build a customized marketing plan based on your goals.
Whether you're planning to list next week or just curious about your home’s value, a professional evaluation is an easy, noobligation way to get informed. It’s the smart starting point to any successful sale —and your realtor is the expert guide to help you through it.
