VANCOUVER, B.C., March 2026 – The Greater Vancouver REALTORS ® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 1,648 in February 2026. There were 4,734 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service ® (MLS ® ) in Metro Vancouver in February 2026. This represents a 6.4 per cent decrease compared to the 5,057 properties listed in February 2025. “With fewer sellers coming to market with their properties than last year, a pick-up in demand heading into the spring could result in a stagnation of standing inventory, which may support prices around current levels,” said Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice president data analytics. “With sales slightly outpacing our 2026 forecast year to-date, the spring market will be the litmus test of whether we continue along this new normal, or if we see any significant surprises.” The MLS ® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,100,300, a 6.8 per cent decrease over February 2025. Sales of detached homes in February 2026 reached 427. The benchmark price for a detached home is $1,835,900. This represents an 8.8 per cent decrease from February 2025. Sales of apartment homes reached 824. The benchmark price of an apartment home is $708,200. This represents a 6.8 per cent decrease from February 2025. Attached home sales in February 2026 totalled 387. The benchmark price of a townhouse is $1,046,100. This represents a 5.6 per cent decrease from February 2025.
