Metro Vancouver sales rose in June, but remained below the ten-year average

The year-over-year gain is meaningful, but it does not by itself establish a sustained market recovery.

What matters

Greater Vancouver REALTORS reported 2,390 residential sales in June 2026, 9.6% more than June 2025 but 12.4% below the ten-year seasonal average. One month of broad year-over-year gains is an early signal, not proof of a durable trend.

Confirmed in the source record

Key facts

  • June 2026 residential sales totalled 2,390.
  • Sales were 9.6% above June 2025.
  • Sales remained 12.4% below the ten-year June average reported by GVR.

What improved

GVR reported year-over-year sales gains across home types and described the breadth of the improvement as unusual relative to recent mixed conditions.

What remains unresolved

A sustained recovery would require confirmation across later months, price segments, inventory absorption, financing conditions, and regional submarkets. A single comparison can be distorted by a weak base month.

How buyers should use the number

Use regional statistics to understand negotiating conditions and direction. Use property-type, neighbourhood, condition, tenure, and truly comparable evidence for a specific decision.
