Greater Vancouver September 2026:
Home Prices Are Still Falling! But There’s Some Good News!
Greater Vancouver detached home prices dropped an average of $16,504 in September, compared to $22,911 in August. That's a 28% smaller drop! However, 81% of detached home markets are still declining. Condo prices fell $4,797, with 78% of markets dropping. Townhomes took an even bigger hit, falling an average of $8,593, with 87% of markets declining! Canadian consumer confidence is extremely weak. American tariffs are forcing Canadian businesses to close, lay off staff, or move south. We forecast more job losses next month = more downward pressure on home prices! But this market could turn around! If Canada & the US reach a trade agreement with lower tariffs, businesses could regain confidence & start hiring again. If interest rates dropped 1.5%, banks made financing easier & governments offered buyer incentives, sales could recover! EG: FOR 6 MONTHS, remove GST on new homes & property transfer taxes on all sales. This would encourage buyers to step back into the market! Bottom Line: Restore jobs, lower interest rates & reduce buying costs = more buyers, more sales & a stronger housing market!
