The total remained 3.1% above the region\u2019s 10-year seasonal average of 3,562.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Active listings continued to climb. GVR reported 15,149 homes listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service, up 14.4% from November 2024 and 36.3% above the 10-year seasonal average of 11,116.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The sales-to-active listings ratio for all property types was 12.6% in November. Detached homes recorded a ratio of 9.7%, attached homes came in at 13.6%, and apartments reached 14.8%.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Historically, downward pressure on prices tends to occur when the ratio sits below 12% for a sustained period, while upward pressure appears when it stays above 20%, said GVR.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAs sales volumes remain subdued and inventory remains plentiful, properties are taking longer to sell, and pricing has continued to soften slightly across most market segments,\u201d Lis said. \u201cWith borrowing costs likely to remain steady into the new year, any uptick in demand will need to arise from a significant change in buyer sentiment. As December is typically among the quietest months of the year in terms of market activity, the prevailing trends suggest we should expect a quiet close to a year marked by considerable uncertainty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Benchmark Price Slips 3.9% Year Over Year<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is $1,123,700, down 3.9% from November 2024 and 0.3% lower than in October 2025.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/realestatemagazine.ca\/high-inventory-meets-weak-demand-as-greater-vancouver-home-sales-sink-15\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">High Inventory Meets Weak Demand as Greater Vancouver Home Sales Sink 15%<\/a> by Real Estate Magazine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Residential real estate activity in Greater Vancouver slumped again in November, with sales falling far below typical levels and signalling a market where buyers remain cautious and sellers are being &hellip;
