Sales of detached homes in February 2025 saw a 14.8 per cent decrease from the detached sales recorded in February 2024
Real Estate market conditions remain in a balanced territory.
That’s according to the latest monthly report from Greater Vancouver Realtors (GVR), which notes that after a 46 per cent year-over-year increase of new listings in January 2025, the number of newly listed properties on the MLS in Metro Vancouver rose more moderately this February.
GVR reports that February 2025 residential sales in the region saw an 11.7 per cent decrease from the sales recorded in February 2024. That total was also 28.9 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average.
“After the rush of new listings in January, home sales and new listings in February were closer to historical averages, which has positioned the overall market in balanced conditions,” said Andrew Lis, GVR’s director of economics and data analytics said in a news release.
