HighInventory,Muted Sales,andaMarketTilted TowardBuyers
May 2025 brought another shift in Metro Vancouver’s real estate landscape, as inventory levels climbed to a ten-year high while home sales remained subdued. According to the Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR), 2,228 homes sold in May, marking an 18.5% drop from last year and falling 30.5% below the 10-year seasonal average.
"Sales are still lagging behind typical seasonal levels, suggesting many buyers remain cautious or highly selective," noted Andrew Lis, GVR’s director of economics and data analytics. "While sales could rebound in the second half of the year as they did in 2020, whether history repeats itself is still uncertain."
In total, 6,620 new listings hit the market in May—up 3.9% from last year—bringing the total active listings to 17,094, a striking 25.7% year-over-year increase. This growing inventory has eased pressure on prices and created more negotiating power for buyers. The sales-to-active listings ratio currently sits at 13.4%, with detached homes at 10.2%, attached homes at 17.4%, and apartments at 14.7%. Historically, prices soften when this ratio dips below 12% for an extended period. Benchmark prices reflect this cooling trend. The composite price for all home types now sits at $1,177,100, down 2.9% from May 2024. Detached homes average $1,997,400, apartments $757,300, and townhomes $1,106,800.
With an unusually slow spring, summer could bring heightened activity as buyers revisit delayed decisions — but for now, Metro Vancouver remains a buyer-friendly market.

Grilling 101: Different Grill Types
Choosing the Right Grill: What Homeowners Should Know
With summer in full swing, backyard barbecues become a central part of home life. For homeowners, selecting the right grill isn’t just about cooking it’s about lifestyle, convenience, and even home value. The three most common options charcoal, gas (natural gas), and propane—each offer unique benefits.
Charcoal grills are often favored by purists who love the smoky, rich flavor they impart. They’re typically more
affordable upfront and portable, making them ideal for casual grillers or those with smaller outdoor spaces. However, they require more time to heat up, constant monitoring, and cleanup can be a bit messier. For homeowners who love the process and flavor of traditional grilling, charcoal delivers an unmatched experience.
Gas grills, connected directly to a home’s natural gas line, offer unparalleled convenience. They heat
quickly, provide consistent temperatures, and require minimal maintenance. While they may cost more to install (especially if a natural gas line needs to be added), they’re highly appealing for frequent entertainers and busy families. Natural gas is also more cost-effective long-term.
Propane grills offer a middle ground. They provide much of the convenience of gas grills but use portable tanks, making them easier to move and install
without permanent hookups. They’re perfect for homeowners who want flexibility and ease of use without major installation.
Final Thoughts?
Ultimately, the choice of grill reflects a homeowner’s lifestyle and how they envision their outdoor space. The right option can enhance entertaining, add value to the property, and create memorable summer moments for years to come.
