January 2026
A Measured Start to 2026
The North Shore housing market began 2026 much as 2025 ended: measured, selective, and showing little momentum. North Vancouver sales were down sharply compared to last January, while West Vancouver saw a more modest decline, with both markets continuing the cautious and selective conditions seen throughout last year.
Many buyers continue to take a deliberate approach, prioritizing value and long-term suitability over urgency. At the same time, sellers remain active, keeping inventory elevated and reinforcing a market where conditions continue to favour choice and negotiation rather than competition.
This combination of softer demand and steady listing activity suggests the market is still adjusting to a slower, more balanced pace. Price trends reflect this environment, with outcomes varying widely depending on property type, pricing, and positioning. Rather than signaling a turning point, January points to continuity - a market gradually evolving toward a more selective and normalized rhythm.
