Slow sales and high inventory give buyers the edge in October
VANCOUVER, B.C. – November, 2025 – Home sales registered on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver* were 14 per cent lower than last October, as the trend of slower sales and building inventory creates favourable conditions for those looking to buy in the fall market.
The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 2,255 in October 2025, a 14.3 per cent decrease from the 2,632 sales recorded in October 2024. This was 14.5 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,638).
“October is typically the last month of the year where sales activity sees a seasonal uptick, but sales still fell short of last year’s figures and the ten-year seasonal average,” said Andrew Lis, GVR’s chief economist and vice-president of data analytics. “Even the fourth cut this year to the Bank of Canada’s policy rate this October wasn’t enough to entice more buyers back into the market.”
There were 5,438 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in October 2025. This represents a 0.3 per cent decrease compared to the 5,452 properties listed in October 2024. This was 16.3 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (4,676).
The total number of properties currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 16,393, a 13.2 per cent increase compared to October 2024 (14,477). This total is 35.9 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (12,063).
