October 2025 Vancouver & Fraser Valley Real Estate Market Update

Quick Snapshot — Key Facts

• Sales in Greater Vancouver: ~2,255 units in October 2025 (≈ –14% YoY)

• Benchmark price in Metro Vancouver: ~CAD $1,132,500 (≈ –3.4% YoY)

• Fraser Valley sales: ~1,123 units (≈ +17% vs Sept)

• Fraser Valley benchmark price: ~CAD $919,900 (≈ –0.7% MoM)

• Inventories elevated across both regions

• Presale launches muted in October with fewer large projects

What the Numbers Mean for Buyers?

• More leverage & choice. Higher inventory and slower sales translate into more time to compare listings, stronger negotiation positions, and fewer bidding wars in many segments (especially detached houses). GV Realtors

• Opportunity in attached housing. Condos and townhomes remain relatively stable and are often the best balance of affordability and upside — especially in suburbs like Surrey, Langley, Coquitlam and parts of Vancouver where demand is steadier. Adlaw Appraisals Ltd

• Presale as a strategy. With fewer large presale launches in October and developers extending preview periods, buyers can find structured deposit plans and staged releases that help cashflow and lock pricing for the right projects.

What the numbers mean for sellers

• Price discipline matters. Listings that are priced competitively, professionally staged and marketed aggressively still sell. Overpriced listings risk longer time-to-sale and multiple price reductions. GV Realtors

• Marketing & timing. Use digital marketing, targeted neighbourhood exposure and pre-market positioning for high interest properties — this shortens listing time and preserves sale price. Video tours and neighborhood pages (Vancouver West, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Langley) work especially well.

Outlook — Q4 2025 into 2026

Expect gradual stabilization. If interest rates ease and economic sentiment improves, we may see sales pick up into spring 2026 — with attached housing (condos/townhomes) rebounding first, detached homes following. Developer activity (presales) will be a key watch-point for inventory shifts.
