Total MLS® residential sales dollar volume was $6.2 billion, down 9.4 per cent from the same time the previous year. BC MLS® unit sales were 17.1 per cent lower than the ten-year average for the month of October.

“Sales activity in many regions of the province has recovered to pre-tariff levels, with more expensive regions continuing to lag behind,” said BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson. “We expect demand to steadily enter the market as interest rates fall, driving a stronger final quarter of the year.”

Year-to-date, BC residential sales dollar volume is down 7.5 per cent to $58 billion, compared with the same period in 2024. Residential unit sales are down 4.8 per cent year-over-year at 60,954 units, while the average MLS® residential price is also down 2.8 per cent to $952,273.
