INFOGRAPHICS: April 2026 GVR Greater Vancouver Market Reports

Diverging trends widen as detached housing gains steam

Home sales registered on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver* remain relatively flat compared to April last year, but a divergence is emerging between market segments.

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 2,110 in April 2026, a 2.5 per cent decrease from the 2,163 sales recorded in April 2025. This total also represents a 22.9 per cent decline from the 10-year seasonal average (2,735).

“Last month we noted that a divergence was emerging between sales trends in the detached and multi-family segments, which continued in April. Sales of detached homes have been gaining year-over-year, while sales in the multi-family segment have declined, and this pattern is consistent across most areas. The fact this pattern is so broad-based reduces the likelihood that what we’re seeing is just a blip in the data since the momentum isn’t isolated to small pockets of the market.” said Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice-president data analytics
