More Choice, Less Rush: Vancouver’s September Market

Greater Vancouver’s September real estate market showed signs of slowing, with 1,869 residential sales—down 4.6% from the same period last year. The market also recorded 5,843 new listings and 1,714 completed sales, giving buyers more opportunities to compare homes and take a measured approach. Active listings were 26.2% above the seasonal average, creating substantial choice and shifting conditions toward balanced or buyer-leaning territory. While pending-sale data was unavailable, the available figures still point to a market where buyers may have more negotiating room and less pressure to act immediately. For buyers, this is a moment to clarify priorities, compare properties carefully, and investigate pricing before making an offer. For sellers, presentation, preparation, and realistic pricing are especially important when competing against a larger pool of available homes. Market conditions can vary significantly by neighbourhood, property type, and price range.
