MLS® Home Price Index benchmark prices with monthly activity for each segment.
Benchmark prices for a typical detached home, townhouse, and condo in eight popular areas — a quick way to see what each property type costs where you want to live.

Change in the typical home's price (all property types) over the past three years — September 2023 to September 2026. Nearly every GVR area is more accessible than it was three years ago, some considerably so. Squamish is the exception, now sitting slightly above its 2023 level. Useful context for buyers weighing where to look, and for sellers setting the right asking price.

Below 12% for a sustained period suggests downward pressure on prices (buyer's market); above 20% suggests upward pressure (seller's market). Between 12–20% is balanced.
September 2026 sits below the 12% line overall — buyer's-market territory across the region, with only townhouses still just inside the balanced band. In practical terms: buyers have the widest selection and the most negotiating room in years, while sellers need accurate pricing and strong presentation to stand out.
The 10 busiest GVR areas in September 2026, split by property type. Vancouver West led again on apartment volume, while Richmond and Vancouver East were the busiest for detached and townhouse sales.

September tells a split story: detached and townhouse sales both finished slightly ahead of last year, while the apartment segment pulled the overall figure down.
"Sales of attached and detached homes finished slightly up from last September, consistent with our view that end-users are primarily driving the market, as investor-driven demand awaits more favourable market conditions."— Andrew Lis, Chief Economist & VP Data Analytics, Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (September 2026 report)
