VANCOUVER, BC – July 3, 2025 – After a turbulent first half of the year, home sales registered on the MLS® across Metro Vancouver* are showing emerging signs of a recovery, down ten per cent year-over-year – halving the decline seen last month.

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 2,181 in June 2025, a 9.8 per cent decrease from the 2,418 sales recorded in June 2024. This was 25.8 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,940).

“On a trended basis, signs are emerging that sales activity is rounding the corner after a challenging first half to the year, with the year-over-year decline in sales in June halving the decline we saw in May,” said Andrew Lis, GVR’s director of economics and data analytics. “If this momentum continues, it may not be long before sales are up year-over-year, which would mark a shift toward a market with more demand than the unusually low demand we’ve seen so far this year.”

There were 6,315 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in June 2025. This represents a 10.3 per cent increase compared to the 5,723 properties listed in June 2024. This was 12.7 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (5,604).

The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 17,561, a 23.8 per cent increase compared to June 2024 (14,182). This is 43.7 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (12,223).

“As home sales regain their footing, inventory levels aren’t building as quickly as we’ve seen lately,” Lis said. “Most market segments remain in balanced market conditions, which has generally kept prices trending sideways since the start of the year. With over 17,000 listings on the market right now, and with mortgage rates down around two per cent since last summer, buyers are enjoying some of the most favorable conditions seen in years.”

The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,173,100. This represents a 2.8 per cent decrease over June 2024 and a 0.3 per cent decrease compared to May 2025.
