Metro Vancouver Market Highlights - November 2025

Housing market sees little change as year-end nears

Metro Vancouver* home-sale trends observed in October continued in November, as sales registered on the MLS® remained lower than this time last year.  

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 1,846 in November 2025, a 15.4 per cent decrease from the 2,181 sales recorded in November 2024. This was 20.6 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,324). 

There were 3,674 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in November 2025. This represents a 1.4 per cent decrease compared to the 3,725 properties listed in November 2024. This was 3.1 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (3,562).   

The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 15,149, a 14.4 per cent increase compared to November 2024 (13,245). This is 36.3 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (11,116).   

Across all detached, attached and apartment property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for November 2025 is 12.6 per cent. By property type, the ratio is 9.7 per cent for detached homes, 13.6 per cent for attached, and 14.8 per cent for apartments.  

Analysis of the historical data suggests downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below 12 per cent for a sustained period, while home prices often experience upward pressure when it surpasses 20 per cent over several months.   

“As sales volumes remain subdued and inventory remains plentiful, properties are taking longer to sell, and pricing has continued to soften slightly across most market segments,” Lis said. “With borrowing costs likely to remain steady into the new year, any uptick in demand will need to arise from a significant change in buyer sentiment. As December is typically among the quietest months of the year in terms of market activity, the prevailing trends suggest we should expect a quiet close to a year marked by considerable uncertainty.”   

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,123,700. This represents a 3.9 per cent decrease over November 2024 and a 0.3 per cent decrease compared to October 2025.
