Vancouver East and Vancouver West both outperformed Metro Vancouver’s averages, with Vancouver East townhouses having the strongest sales ratio.

Following a surge in new listings in January, February’s numbers rose at a more moderate pace. This shift helped maintain stability across the market, preventing any drastic swings in pricing. Despite a decline in sales compared to February 2024, overall market conditions remain balanced. With a more moderate increase in new listings compared to January, buyers now have the largest selection of homes since pre-pandemic times, offering more choices without creating downward pressure on prices.

As the spring season approaches and potential interest rate cuts loom, the market’s trajectory will largely depend on buyer activity and seller confidence. The balance between supply and demand will be key in determining whether prices remain stable or begin to shift in response to changing economic conditions.
