VANCOUVER \u2013 Vancouver-area home sales and prices edged lower in March compared with last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There were 2,032 sales of residential properties in the region in March, down 2.8 per cent from the same month last year and 31.8 per cent lower than the 10-year seasonal average.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Greater Vancouver Realtors say the composite benchmark price for all types of residential properties in Vancouver was $1,104,300, representing a 6.8 per cent decrease from March 2025 but was 0.4 per cent higher than February 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Andrew Lis, the board\u2019s chief economist and vice-president of data analytics, says the weaker demand was unsurprising, but there are signs the detached segment of the market \u201cmay be awakening.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the month, there were 5,792 new listings on the market, down 10.3 per cent year-over-year but 4.9 per cent above the 10-year average.\u00a0<\/p>\n
