October 2025 GVR Residential Market Report

In October 2025, residential home sales across Metro Vancouver dropped by about 14% compared to the same month last year, reflecting a market that’s slowing down as inventory rises and buyers gain more leverage.

• Below seasonal norms: Activity was 14.5% lower than the region’s 10-year average for October, suggesting the market is performing at a slower-than-usual pace.
