Greater Vancouver Realtors reported home sales in Vancouver fell 8.4 per cent in September compared to last year, driven largely by fewer apartment-style homes changing hands.

New listings totaled 5,852, down 10.3 per cent year-over-year but 5.7 per cent above the 10-year average, while total inventory fell 4 per cent to 16,394, remaining 24.3 per cent above long-term levels.
Andrew Lis, Greater Vancouver Realtors' chief economist, noted that despite the overall market decline, attached and detached home sales remained slightly above last year's levels.
Benchmark pricing for Vancouver residential properties reached $1,075,900, down 5.5 per cent from September 2025 and 0.6 per cent from August 2026, reflecting sustained downward pressure.
