Greater Vancouver January 2025:
In January, 67% of detached homes in Greater Vancouver increased in value. The average price for single-family homes rose by $7,985, reversing December’s $7,510 decline.
The Chinese New Year (Jan 29th) usually sparks a surge in buying activity. This year, cash did flow in, but at a much lower volume than in past years.
On one hand, buyers are encouraged by recent interest rate drops. But that optimism is mixed with uncertainty as we await the Federal election, which could give the new government a stronger mandate to negotiate pending American tariffs.
Despite these factors, the Metro Vancouver market is still expected to remain stable.
Condo and townhouse prices are also rising, with average increases of $3,642 and $913, respectively. These markets are forecasted to hold steady until late spring.
