Greater Vancouver May 2026:
The Metro Vancouver housing market nosedived in May. Detached home prices dropped by an average of $12,351. This is a much bigger drop than April, when prices only went down $745. Right now, in what is normally one of our stronger spring market months, 76% of detached-home markets are declining.
Condo prices also fell, by an average of $2,047. About 61% of condo markets are still decreasing, but townhomes are doing better this month. Prices went up by an average of $888. Even better, 63% of townhome markets are rising. Last month, only 18% were going up. This shows more buyers are interested in townhomes. The June forecast for is that detached homes and condos will stay under strong downward pressure, while townhomes could remain stable.

Fraser Valley May 2026:
The Fraser Valley housing market slowed down in May. Detached home prices dropped by an average of $8,452. This is a bigger drop than April, when prices went down $3,825. Right now, that is not good for what is normally one of our stronger spring market months, with 83% of detached-home markets declining.
Condo prices were the bright spot. Prices went up by an average of $1,212, bouncing back from April, when prices went down $815. Right now, 67% of condo markets are rising. Last month, only 50% were going up. This shows more buyers are interested in condos again.
Townhomes are still under pressure. Prices fell by an average of $4,062. Right now, 75% of townhome markets are declining, the same as last month. This means the townhouse market could be under even more pressure next month.
The June forecast is that detached homes and townhouses will stay under strong downward pressure. Condos, as the most affordable choice, could continue to improve or stabilize.
