Vancouver Real Estate Market Predictions 2025: Home Price Growth to Return to Long-Term Norms

2025 Vancouver Real Estate Outlook: Stability Returns After Years of Volatility

For the last few years, the Canadian housing market has experienced trends far outside the norm. A global pandemic, rapidly rising interest rates, and economic disruptions threw the real estate market off course for a time, but 2025 is expected to bring conditions back in line with long-term historical averages.

National Price Forecast

According to the Royal LePage Market Survey Forecast, the aggregate price of a home in Canada is set to increase 6.0% year-over-year to $856,692 in the fourth quarter of 2025, with the median price of a single-family detached property and condominium projected to increase 7.0% and 3.5% to $900,833 and $605,993, respectively.

"After several years of unusual volatility in the real estate market, key indicators point to a return to stability in 2025. The backlog of willing and able buyers continues to grow, and upcoming changes to mortgage qualification rules will make it easier for more Canadians to enter the market," noted Royal LePage's chief market analyst.

Greater Vancouver Outlook

Greater Vancouver remains one of Canada's most supply-constrained markets. While the Bank of Canada's rate cuts in late 2024 helped bring some buyers back, the full effect of lower borrowing costs is expected to materialize through 2025. The North Shore — encompassing North Vancouver and West Vancouver — is particularly well-positioned given its limited developable land and consistent demand from high-income households.

Key Drivers for 2025

• Interest rate cuts: Further Bank of Canada reductions are anticipated, reducing carrying costs and expanding qualifying power.
• New mortgage rules: 30-year amortizations on insured mortgages and a $1.5M insurance cap expand who can buy.
• Pent-up demand: Many buyers who paused in 2023–2024 are ready to move in 2025.
• Limited supply: The North Shore's geography keeps new supply constrained, supporting price floors.

What Should You Do?
