INFOGRAPHICS: October 2026 GVR Greater Vancouver Market Reports

Buyers and sellers step back in October

Home sales and new listings registered on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver* fell roughly ten per cent relative to October last year, respectively.

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) reports that residential sales in the region totalled 2,024 in October 2026, a 10.2 per cent decrease from the 2,255 sales recorded in October 2025. This was 22.5 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,612).

“October came with a few suspenseful distractions for buyers and sellers alike, with a somewhat surprising Bank of Canada rate hike and a snap provincial election among them,” said Andrew Lis, GVR chief economist and vice-president data analytics. “Between the onslaught of news coverage of the provincial and municipal elections, and the uncertainty surrounding where mortgage rates may be headed, it’s not entirely surprising that market participants took a step back in October to recalibrate.”

There were 4,805 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in October 2026. This represents a 11.6 per cent decrease compared to the 5,438 properties listed in October 2025. This was 1 per cent above the 10-year seasonal average (4,758).
