The large jump in listings + slow sales in 2025 means many buyers now have bargaining power and choice.

Homes likely hit a “bottom” around late 2025 / early 2026 — but rebound will be gradual and uneven.

Recovery might favour affordable, entry-level, or suburban properties before luxury or core‑Vancouver homes.

Still‑high living costs, mortgage rates, and housing‑supply dynamics could delay a full rebound.

For buyers: 2026–2027 may offer decent opportunities; for sellers: pricing realistically remains critical.
