Metro Vancouver Housing Market Report — August 2025: What the Numbers Reveal

Metro Vancouver Housing Market Report — August 2025: What the Numbers Reveal


2025年8月のメトロバンクーバー住宅市場:数字の“読み方”と、これからの賢い動き方

1) まずは用語をやさしく

在庫(Active Listings):今市場に出ている売り物件の数
成約件数(Sales):一定期間に実際に売れた件数
SALR(Sales-to-Active-Listings Ratio:売れ行きに対する在庫比率)
計算式=成約件数÷在庫×100。12%未満は価格が下がりやすい、20%超は上がりやすい傾向の“めやす”。
HPI(MLS®住宅価格指数/ベンチマーク価格):広く出回る平均・中央値の歪みを避けるために、代表的な住宅の“標準化された価格”を指数で示したもの(実勢に近い)。

2) 2025年8月の主要データ

成約件数:1,959件(前年同月比 +2.9%)。10年平均より19.2%低い水準。
在庫:16,242件(前年比 +17.6%、10年季節平均比 +36.9%)。
SALR(全体):12.4%(=やや買い手有利寄りの“バランス”ぎりぎり)。
戸建:9.3%(買い手優勢)
タウンハウス:15.8%(中立~やや売り手寄り)
コンドミニアム:14.0%(中立)
HPI(総合ベンチマーク):$1,150,400(前年比 -3.8%、前月比 -1.3%)。
GVR(グレーター・バンクーバー不動産協会)の見立て:「年初来で約2%ほど価格が緩み、8月は前月比でも約1%下落。売り手の価格期待が下がり、買い手と歩み寄りが進んだことで成約が回復基調」

3) この数字は何を示す?

在庫が厚い(+36.9%/10年平均比)一方、売れ方は“分岐点”付近(SALR 12.4%)。全体として価格は横ばい~弱含み、ただし物件タイプで温度差:

戸建は9.3%で明確に買い手有利=価格交渉が通りやすい環境。
タウン/マンションは14–16%で中立圏=初動価格の見立てと商品力がモノを言う。

州全体の中期見通し(ブリティッシュコロンビア不動産協会BCREA):2025年のMLS®成約は72,840件(前年比 -2.2%)、2026年は80,600件(+10.7%)へ回復見込み。下半期の持ち直し→2026年はやや明るい展開。上半期の弱さは通商関連の不確実性が影響。ローワーメインランドは価格下押し圧力が残りやすい一方、需要の強い地域は小幅上昇も。総じて25年は横ばい、26年はやや上昇の想定。

4) これからの賢い動き方(買い手/売り手別)

買い手
- 戸建を狙うなら今が交渉期:SALR 10%未満帯は価格・条件(検査、修繕クレジット、引渡時期)で歩み寄りが出やすい。

- タウンハウス/コンドミニアムは“比較と初動”:中立圏なので、直近3ヶ月の同種成約と管理・修繕履歴で“割高/割安”を見極める。
- レート戦略:政策金利の動きが即・固定金利に反映されるとは限らない。90~120日のレートホールドを活用し、固定/変動の見直しをこまめに(モーゲージ担当と毎週情報共有)。

売り手
- 初動2週間の反応が鈍ければ1~2%の素早い価格調整で“鮮度”を保つ(SALR 12%付近は停滞→値切られやすい)。

- 付加価値で差別化:軽微修繕の前倒し、家電更新、柔軟な引渡時期、プリインスペクションの提示などで不確実性を減らす。
- タイプ別の戦術:戸建は“現実的な初値”が命。タウンハウス/コンドミニアムは見せ方(写真/内覧導線)×資料整備で早期成約を狙う。

 Metro Vancouver Housing — August 2025: What the Numbers Mean (and How to Act)

1) Guide to the metrics

Active Listings: homes currently for sale
Sales: homes that actually sold in the period
SALR (Sales-to-Active-Listings Ratio): Sales ÷ Active Listings ×100. Below 12% → downward price pressure; above 20% → upward pressure, when sustained.
HPI / Benchmark Price: a modelled price for a “typical” home that tracks market value better than average/median.

2) August 2025 headline stats (Greater Vancouver REALTORS®)

Sales: 1,959 (+2.9% y/y), still 19.2% below the 10-yr seasonal average.

Active Listings: 16,242 (+17.6% y/y; 36.9% above the 10-yr seasonal average).

SALR (Total): 12.4% (near the “balance/buyer-tilt” threshold).
- Detached 9.3% (buyer-favoured)
- Townhome (Attached) 15.8% (balanced)
- Apartment 14.0% (balanced)

Composite Benchmark (HPI): $1,150,400 (-3.8% y/y, -1.3% m/m).

GVR commentary: prices have eased ~2% since the start of 2025 and ~1% m/m in August, suggesting sellers have adjusted expectations and buyers are re-engaging.

3) How to read this market

With elevated inventory and SALR at 12.4%, the price trend is flat to slightly soft overall. But segments differ:

- Detached at 9.3% SALR → more negotiating leverage for buyers.
- Townhomes/Apartments in the 14–16% range → closer to balance; pricing and product quality matter most.

BC outlook (BCREA): 2025 provincial MLS® sales 72,840 (-2.2%), rising to 80,600 (+10.7%) in 2026 as activity firms. First-half weakness tied to trade-related uncertainty; Lower Mainland faces downward price pressure, while stronger regions may see modest gains. Net-net: flat 2025, slight price growth in 2026.

4) Actionable takeaways

For Buyers
- Detached opportunity: with SALR sub-10%, push on price and terms (inspection, repairs/credits, closing dates).
- Townhome/Condo: do tight comps (past 3 months), scrutinize strata docs, maintenance, contingencies; value comes from “how the unit shows” and risk clarity.
- Financing: rate cuts don’t always flow instantly into fixed mortgage rates; use 90–120-day rate holds and revisit fixed vs variable with your broker regularly.

For Sellers
- If no traction in the first 14 days, consider a swift 1–2% price adjustment to recapture momentum—SALR near 12% can mean longer DOM (days on market) and deeper discounts later.
- Reduce buyer uncertainty: pre-inspection, minor repairs, flexible completion dates, and a clean disclosure package can shorten time-to-sale.
- Segment strategy: price detached realistically from day one; for townhome/condo, focus on presentation + documentation to justify price.
