June in Vancouver ushers in a confident shift into the summer season. With extended daylight, warmer temperatures, and a noticeable uptick in outdoor activity, the region transitions into a period characterized by increased activity and community engagement. June marks a strategic turning point in the real estate calendar, as the pace of everyday life begins to slow with the onset of summer. While many pause for seasonal routines, this period offers a window of opportunity for those who stay attuned to the market—where informed decisions and timely moves can create a distinct advantage before the fall rush begins.
June Market Highlights
After a turbulent first half of the year, home sales registered on the MLS® across Metro Vancouver* are showing emerging signs of a recovery, down ten per cent year-over-year – halving the decline seen last month.
Andrew Lis, Greater Vancouver REALTORS’ director of economics and data analytics said
“On a trended basis, signs are emerging that sales activity is rounding the corner after a challenging first half to the year, with the year-over-year decline in sales in June halving the decline we saw in May. If this momentum continues, it may not be long before sales are up year-over-year, which would mark a shift toward a market with more demand than the unusually low demand we’ve seen so far this year.”
