VANCOUVER, B.C., April 2026 – The Greater Vancouver REALTORS ® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 2,032 in March 2026. There were 5,792 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service ® (MLS ® ) in Metro Vancouver in March 2026. This represents a 10.3 per cent decrease compared to the 6,455 properties listed in March 2025. “Year-to-date, sales are tracking our forecast for the year closely, and the weakness in demand we continue to observe at the aggregate level is unsurprising,” said Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice-president data analytics. “What’s interesting is that the aggregate total masks an emerging divergence among market segments. While the multifamily segment continues to see slower sales, the detached segment may be awakening with sales up, and new listings down from last year.” The MLS ® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,104,300. Sales of detached homes in March 2026 reached 571. The benchmark price for a detached home is $1,854,800. Sales of apartment homes reached 999 in March 2026. The benchmark price of an apartment home is $706,700. Attached home sales in March 2026 totalled 446, a 5.5 per cent decrease compared to the 472 sales in March 2025. The benchmark price of a townhouse is $1,047,100.

FROM KITCHEN TO LIVING ROOM: PLANTS THAT THRIVE INSIDE Keeping living plants indoors is a wonderful way to showcase a house with greenery and bring life to it. Indoor gardening lets people grow herbs, greens, and even small vegetables year round, even in limited spaces like apartments or small kitchens. With the right light, containers, and soil, many leafy greens and herbs can thrive near a sunny window or under supplemental grow lights. Some of the easiest indoor plants to care for are those that tolerate a wide range of conditions and don’t require frequent watering. The snake plant, Aloe vera, pothos plants, succulents, and cacti, as well as Herbs like basil, thyme, or parsley, and low light greens such as lettuce or spinach. Indoor gardens also improve air quality and bring a bit of nature inside, which can be especially welcome in colder Canadian climates where outdoor growing seasons are short.
