Home sales registered on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver declined nearly ten per cent last month relative to July last year, erasing the ten per cent gain seen in June that kicked off the summer.
The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 2,061 in July 2026, a 9.8 per cent decrease from the 2,286 sales recorded in July 2025. This was 18.6 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,532).
“Last month, we reported gains in home sales across all home types, raising the question of whether demand would continue to build into the summer. Instead, July sales were down nearly ten per cent, led by an 18 per cent drop in apartment sales, confirming to market watchers that the June momentum was not sustained,” said Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice-president data analytics. “Over the past few years, the sales activity story has often been one step forward, one step back, and the June and July data are a prime example of this pattern.”
There were 4,991 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in July 2026. This represents a 11.5 per cent decrease compared to the 5,642 properties listed in July 2025. This figure matches the 10-year seasonal average (4,992).

 Think Safety
Homeowners learn to live with all kinds of self-set booby traps: roller skates on the stairs, festooned extension cords, slippery throw rugs and low hanging overhead lights. Make your residence as non-perilous as possible for uninitiated visitors.
