🎃October 2026 Market Stats🎃
October’s housing market reflected a more cautious fall season, with sales activity softening across most neighbourhoods and property types. While buyers remain selective, reduced listing activity and shifting price expectations continue to create opportunities for those prepared to make strategic moves.
Local highlights:
Westside
• Detached: Fewer new listings and slightly softer sales, with average prices adjusting to $3.3M. Absorption improved modestly, suggesting continued interest in well-positioned Westside homes.
• Attached: A quieter month, with sales down 23% and average prices easing to $956K, reflecting a more price-sensitive market.
East Vancouver
• Detached: Sales softened modestly, while average pricing adjusted to $1.7M. The sales-to-active ratio held relatively steady.
• Attached: Buyer activity slowed considerably, with sales down 26% despite increased listings, offering purchasers greater choice and negotiating opportunities.
West Vancouver
• Detached: Luxury sales eased 17% despite significantly fewer new listings, while average sale prices rose to $4.0M — highlighting the varied nature of activity at the upper end of the market.
• Attached: A particularly quiet month, with sales down 44% despite higher average sale prices, reflecting limited transactions in this smaller market segment.
North Vancouver
• Detached: Sales declined 17%, although average prices rose to $2.4M, suggesting continued activity at higher price points despite softer overall demand.
• Attached: A more measured market, with sales down 9% and average prices adjusting to $916K.
Overall, October reinforced the importance of understanding individual neighbourhoods and property types rather than relying on broader market headlines. With buyers increasingly discerning, thoughtful pricing and strategic positioning remain essential as we approach year-end.
