Sales have been gaining momentum, suggesting buyers are becoming increasingly comfortable stepping back into the market.
That creates an interesting sweet spot: you can shop selectively without the intense competition of Vancouver’s hottest markets.
Royal LePage expects Greater Vancouver prices to fall 3.5% year-over-year in Q4 2026, creating potential room for buyers.

Vancouver Starts Seen Sliding Through 2028
Metro Vancouver Starts Outlook
2026: 26K-27K
2027: 21.9K-25.1K
2028: 20.5K-22K
