Metro Vancouver November Market Highlights
November in Metro Vancouver marks the final stretch of the fall real estate season—a time when shorter days and cooler weather naturally bring a calmer pace to market activity. As the year winds down, many households shift focus toward upcoming holidays and year-end planning, yet opportunities remain for those who stay engaged. Well-priced listings are still drawing interest, but in market conditions we haven’t seen in years, motivated buyers are finding ways to stay ahead while they wait patiently in an environment defined by balance and increasing inventory.
Notably, Metro Vancouver home-sale trends observed in October continued in November, as sales registered on the MLS® remained lower than this time last year.
“As the year draws to a close, the data continues telling a story of a market with many buyers patiently waiting and sellers adjusting to market conditions not seen in years. Inventory remains healthy, providing buyers ample choice, which, by contrast, is pushing sellers to accept that pricing must reflect this new reality. Buyers and sellers are striking deals when their expectations are aligned and reflective of the current market – not the market of years ago,” said Andrew Lis, Greater Vancouver REALTORS’ director of economics and data analytics.
