The summer market across Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley looks calm at first glance — but beneath the surface, the numbers are pointing to a subtle yet important shift.
In July, both regions recorded inventory levels at decade highs, giving buyers more choice than they’ve had in years. At the same time, sales activity is beginning to recover, especially in the condo and townhome markets, while detached homes continue to lag.
Here’s what we’re seeing this month:
🔹 Greater Vancouver
Sales: 2,286 in July (down just 2% YoY — signs of recovery)
Active Listings: 17,168 (up nearly 20% YoY — plenty of selection)
Prices: Composite benchmark $1,165,300 (down 0.7% MoM)
Key Insight: Buyers are gaining leverage, but with sales recovering slowly, this balance won’t last forever.
🔹 Fraser Valley
Sales: 1,190 in July (down 3.3% YoY)
Active Listings: 10,650 (up 22% YoY — inventory climbing)
Prices: Composite benchmark $944,800 (down 0.7% MoM)
Key Insight: Detached homes remain soft, but townhomes and condos are attracting selective competition.
💡 The Strategy That Wins in 2025
This is not a “rush in” market — it’s a precision market. With borrowing costs stabilizing and motivated sellers adjusting, success will go to those who prepare, plan, and act deliberately.
For buyers, that means:
Locking in rate holds now before fall volatility.
Targeting overlooked listings that have been on the market 60+ days.
Thinking long-term: location and demand always win over short-term noise.
For sellers, it means:
Pricing with today’s reality, not yesterday’s peak.
Investing in presentation — staging, photography, and online presence.
Leveraging a balanced market to secure your next move with more choice.
