Slow
sales and high inventory give
buyers the edge in October
VANCOUVER,
B.C. – November 4, 2025 – Home sales registered on
the MLS® in Metro Vancouver* were 14 per cent lower than last October,
as the
trend of slower sales and building inventory creates favourable
conditions for
those looking to buy in the fall market. The Greater Vancouver
REALTORS® (GVR)
reports that residential sales in the region totalled 2,255 in October
2025, a
14.3 per cent decrease from the 2,632 sales recorded in October 2024.
This was
14.5 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average (2,638). “October is
typically
the last month of the year where sales activity sees a seasonal uptick,
but
sales still fell short of last year’s figures and the ten-year seasonal
average,” said Andrew Lis, GVR’s chief economist and vice-president of
data
analytics. “Even the fourth cut this year to the Bank of Canada’s
policy rate
this October wasn’t enough to entice more buyers back into the market.”
