Canadian real estate market finally begins to show signs of recovery, according to RBC
As someone who’s helped clients navigate the ups and downs of the Canadian real estate market for over a decade—and experienced those same pressures firsthand—I’m encouraged to see signs of recovery taking hold. RBC’s latest update points to increasing sales, steady inventories, and modest price growth across the country. While forecasts suggest a dip in sales in 2026 before picking up again in 2027, it’s worth noting that Ontario and BC, especially the condo markets, may see a slower return to strength. Interest rates could also rise in 2027. For those of us in Surrey and the broader BC area, understanding these shifts is key to making confident decisions, whether you’re buying your first home or investing for the future.

More Choices for Homebuyers in Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley
As someone who’s both a real estate agent and mortgage professional in Surrey, I keep a close eye on how our local markets are shifting. Metro Vancouver is now seeing a 4.6% drop in home sales and a 5.6% decrease in prices, bringing the benchmark to $1,081,900. Inventory is up by 26.2% compared to the average, which means more options for buyers. In the Fraser Valley, we’re seeing similar patterns with sales down and a 7% dip in prices—creating an environment that strongly favours buyers. Having walked through the process myself as a first-time homebuyer, I know how overwhelming these numbers can feel. My goal is to help you navigate these changes so you can make confident, informed decisions.

BC Standing Inventory Data By City, Size, And Average Price
When looking at BC's current real estate landscape, it's striking to see that there are 6,687 unsold residential units—mostly condos—spread across the province. Burnaby, Vancouver, and Surrey top the list for highest inventories. What stands out to me isn’t just the sheer number, but the diversity within these properties: the unsold stock isn’t limited to smaller units, hinting at a much more nuanced market dynamic. Having navigated both the homebuying and mortgage process myself, and now as someone who guides clients through these decisions, I can say these numbers reflect how important it is to understand the full picture before making any moves. Experience has taught me that a complex market can also mean opportunity for those who know where to look.
