Home buyers continue to purchase in Vancovuer – due to the strong economy as well as an increase in migration. Many buyers seem to be sitting back to see what is happening to interest rates, however, the homes on the market are moving.
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!
So what's happening in the Vancouver real estate market as of December 2024?
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’s market softened slightly, with a 9% decline in sales, even as new listings increased by 2%. Inventory climbed by 26%, pushing months of supply up by 25%. The benchmark price remained steady at $1,172,100, demonstrating resilience in Canada’s priciest market.
Vancouver's Detached Homes
Detached homes saw a 15% sales decline, with inventory and months of supply rising by 27% and 31%, respectively. The benchmark price dipped slightly to $1,996,100. Higher borrowing costs and increased supply offer strategic buyers more leverage in negotiations.
Vancouver's Apartments
Apartments held steady with new listings up 3% and sales down 9%. Inventory climbed by 23%, yet the benchmark price reached $752,800, indicating sustained interest from investors and urban professionals.
Vancouver's Attached Homes
Attached homes performed well, with new listings increasing by 8% and inventory surging by 32%. Sales declined by only 2%, while the benchmark price held at $1,117,600. Buyers continue to favor this segment for its balance of space and value.
It’s critical to understand the dynamics in your local property market
To understand your local property market you need to look at your local data. Head over to Bōde’s new and improved Market Data dashboard, the only place where you can see all the data yourself, including being able to filter on community, property type, and price range to see exactly what’s happening where you live.
You can also see the sold price of any home that has sold in the last 2 years using Bode’s Sold Data page.
Bōde has created a marketplace to allow you to get transparent home data, set your price, and list your home on MLS (and 1000+ more sites). We will advertise your home and walk you through the whole sale process for 1% up to a maximum of $10K, only when the home sells.

With your free Bōde account, you don’t need an agent – you are completely in charge of your home sale or purchase and get to keep more of the money you invested in your home!
Saved nearly $15,000 by having my offer accepted through Bōde instead of through a real estate agent. If you are willing to be more involved in the process it's definitely worth checking out.
My house sold with Bōde for $30k higher than what most realtors estimated, while saving me a ton in fees.
As a builder, I pour my heart and soul into these projects. With Bōde I was able to sell four luxury homes in 21 days, saving well over $100,000 in commissions.
We saved thousands of dollars selling out home with Bōde.
If we ever sell another home we will definitely use Bōde again.
We were amazed at how fast we were able to sell our home using Bōde.
We certainly priced our hom eright and were able to sell it for 7% more than market and 92 days faster!
Used Bōde to sell my condo, they were super responsive and helpful through the entire thing.
Scheduling all the showings myself was great, really simplified the process and saved a lot of money.
I have always wanted to list, show and sell my own homes in the pas but without a real estate licence it was never possible.
Now with Bōde, marketing and selling your own home is in reach.
