INFOGRAPHICS: May 2026 GVR Greater Vancouver Market Reports

Apartment sales lag, other housing segments steady

Led by slow sales in the apartment segment, home sales registered on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver were down nearly four per cent in May compared to last year.

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 2,150 in May 2026, a 3.5 per cent decrease from the 2,228 sales recorded in May 2025. This was 26.6 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,930).

“While attached sales held relatively steady and detached sales edged up roughly one per cent in May, apartment sales were down about seven per cent year-over-year, which weighed down the overall sales total. Even then, apartment sales were not down uniformly across all regions – some of the larger areas such as North and East Vancouver saw increases relative to last year.” said Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice-president data analytics
