The total sales dollar volume was $5.7 billion, a 27.8 per cent increase from the same time the previous year. BC MLS® unit sales were 12 per cent lower than the ten-year average for November.

“Home sales across the province continued the normalizing trend that began in October,” said BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson. “The surge in activity this fall sets up 2025 for a much stronger start than we’ve seen in the last two years.”

Year-to-date, BC residential sales dollar volume is up 1.6 per cent to $68.6 billion, compared with the same period in 2023. Residential unit sales are up 0.8 per cent year-over-year at 69,983 units, while the average MLS® residential price is also up 0.8 per cent to $980,055.
