15,000+ Homes on the Market — What It Means for Buyers & Sellers

September 2025 Vancouver Real Estate Market Report

The Big Picture

There are 15,000+ homes listed across Greater Vancouver & the Fraser Valley.

👉 Here’s how to read that number:

Under 10,000 listings → Seller’s market
Between 10,000–11,000 listings → Balanced
Over 11,000 listings → Buyer’s market

With 15,000+ listings today, buyers have leverage and sellers face real competition.

Now let’s zoom into where I work every day: Downtown, East Van, and the Westside.

Vancouver Core Snapshot

Area	Avg Price	Sales Ratio	Notes
Downtown Attached	$835,000	11%	Buyers cautious, value-driven deals
Westside Attached	$887,000	18%	Strong under $1M, balanced overall
East Van Detached	$1.75M	10%	Buyers’ market, slower over $1.8M
East Van Attached	$806,000	16%	Active in Mt Pleasant/Main, duplexes

Downtown Sub-Areas at a Glance

Yaletown: Drives 1–2 bed demand, parking helps.
Coal Harbour: Luxury softer (fees + supply).
West End: Best value in older concrete.
Downtown Central: Investor-heavy; sharp pricing moves units.

My Take on the Market

The real action is in the middle of the market:

$600K–$1.2M Downtown condos still sell if priced right.
East Van duplexes under $2M are the new family home.
Westside attached under $1M remains steady; detached $3M+ is sticky.

This is a skill market, not a speed market — price, prep, and presentation are everything.
