Real Estate Market Report | Vancouver | April 2025

Demand Retreats, Supply Surges

With the looming threat of US tariffs on the horizon, homebuyers are looking to see what the final implications may be – the good news is that selling with Bōde mitigates that risk entirely by maximizing your equity, you’ll outperform traditional methods of buying and selling.  

We help provide home buyers and sellers with the data they need to be successful. When you have access to accurate and relevant data, you can be more confident in setting the price of your home and selling it or buying at the right price. 

With many important factors to consider (what kind of home you have, what community etc.), it’s important to look specifically at what the housing market is doing in your neighbourhood.  

Bōdesellers are more successful and actually make more money, on average, than the rest of the market. We are also here to make sure you have the information you need to make the decisions that are right for YOU!

April 2025 Vancouver Real Estate: Sales, Inventory & Prices

Let’s start with a Macroeconomics view 

To understand what’s happening in the real estate market you have to look at supply and demand.

The best proxies for supply and demand are:

Supply

New supply: New Listings (i.e. the number of homes recently listed for sale)

Total supply: Inventory (i.e. the total number of homes listed for sale)

Demand

Sales (i.e. the number of homes recently sold)

 

Supply & Demand

Months of Supply (i.e. the number of months it would take to sell all current inventory at the current rate of sale)

 

These metrics are the best indicators of the health of the real estate market. Let’s look at what they show us.

Overall Vancouver Market

Vancouver is undergoing a sharp market correction in activity, with sales down 39% compared to the average of the last five March’s. At the same time, inventory is up 43%, and months of supply has nearly doubled (+91%), signaling a strong shift into a buyer’s market. Despite this, the benchmark price has edged up 2.05% year-over-year to $1,190,900, although a -1.01% monthly decline suggests softening ahead. With more listings hitting the market and buyers stepping back, Vancouver is entering a period of price sensitivity, especially in higher-density and luxury segments.

Vancouver's Detached Homes

Vancouver detached new listings chart for March 2025, showing a 7% decrease compared to the average of the last five Marches, with color-coded lines representing annual trends from 2019 to 2025.

Vancouver detached home prices chart displaying benchmark price of $2,029,400 and index trends from October 2018 to March 2025, highlighting market fluctuations and current pricing dynamics.

The detached market is experiencing significant distress, with sales falling 49% and months of supply doubling (+100%)—the clearest indicator of oversupply in the high-end segment. While inventory is up 31%, prices are down 3.05% year-over-year, even as they saw a modest 0.72% uptick month-over-month to $2,029,400. This slight rebound may reflect short-term optimism or isolated luxury demand, but the larger trend points to mounting downward pressure on pricing. For move-up buyers, this could become an opportunity market in the coming quarters.

Vancouver's Apartments

Vancouver apartment sales chart for March 2025 showing a 37% decline in sales, with color-coded lines representing annual sales trends from 2019 to 2025 against a blue background.

Vancouver apartment months of supply chart for March 2025, showing a 94% increase, with data trends from 2019 to 2025, highlighting rising inventory and market shifts.
Vancouver apartment price trends chart showing benchmark price at $767,300 and index fluctuations from October 2018 to March 2025, reflecting market volatility and current inventory dynamics.

Condo sales fell 37%, while inventory jumped 48%, pushing months of supply up 94%—a clear oversupply signal. Yet, despite the slack, benchmark prices climbed 2.71% month-over-month, even though they’re still down 2.03% year-over-year, landing at $767,300. This volatility highlights a bifurcated condo market: resilient demand in certain neighbourhoods and product types, but broader softening elsewhere. If inventory continues to rise without matching buyer demand, the recent monthly gain may prove short-lived.

Vancouver's Attached Homes

Vancouver attached home prices chart showing benchmark price at $1,113,100 and index trends from October 2018 to March 2025, indicating market fluctuations and recent price pressures.

Vancouver’s attached home segment (townhomes and duplexes) is under pressure, with sales down 27%, inventory up 48%, and months of supply rising 76%. Benchmark prices have declined 4.04% year-over-year and 0.18% month-over-month, settling at $1,113,100. As the “middle” ground between condos and detached homes, this category is often where affordability fatigue shows up first—and the numbers reflect that. If trends hold, this could be the first segment to see broader price corrections in the spring market.
