Vancouver East Market Statistics

The Vancouver East Housing Market includes very different submarkets, from high-density housing around Commercial-Broadway and Joyce-Collingwood to established detached-home streets in Renfrew, Killarney and Hastings-Sunrise and the newer waterfront community at River District. These Vancouver East Market Statistics track Vancouver East Home Prices, sales, inventory, new listings and sales-to-active-listings ratios by property type so buyers and sellers can see how the Vancouver East Real Estate Market is changing.

Vancouver East Real Estate Prices can vary considerably between a Mount Pleasant condo, a Commercial Drive strata home, a Renfrew detached property, a newer duplex or multiplex, and a River District residence. Vancouver East Housing Prices, Vancouver East Sold Prices and a Vancouver East Average House Price are therefore more useful when interpreted within the relevant neighbourhood and property type, while Vancouver East Real Estate Statistics provide the broader trend. Use the charts below to compare current conditions, then explore Vancouver East Homes for Sale to compare active listings with the market data and watch our monthly Market Statistics videos for additional regional commentary.

Interpreting these charts is not difficult, but it might take a few minutes of study the first time you look.

MLS® HPI Price: Indicates the current sale price of a “representative” house, condo or townhouse. The exact number isn’t what’s important here – look at the trends to assess how the market is moving relative to the past three years.

Median Sales Price: The median sales price is the middle price of all homes sold in a specific period. Half of the sales were above this price, and half were below. It reflects the actual prices buyers and sellers agreed on, but it can swing up or down depending on what types of homes happened to sell that month (e.g., more luxury homes or more entry-level units).

Total Inventory: The total number of homes currently listed for sale at the end of the month. This shows how much supply is available in the market. Rising inventory usually signals more selection for buyers, while declining inventory can indicate tightening conditions and increased competition.

New Listings: The number of homes that were newly added to the market during the month. This shows how much fresh supply is entering the market. Higher levels of new listings mean more options for buyers, while lower levels can signal limited selection and increased competition for available homes.

Sales: The total number of homes that successfully sold during the month. The stronger the market, the greater the number of sales!

Sales to Active Ratio: This ratio is widely used by industry insiders to quantify the strength of the market. It represents the percentage of the available inventory that is sold each month. Generally speaking, a ratio of below 0.12 indicates a slow market (“a buyer’s market”), while a ratio of over 0.20 indicates a hot market (“a seller’s market”), with many more buyers than sellers and intense competition for properties. A ratio between 0.12 and 0.20 reflects a “balanced” market, where the number of sellers and the number of buyers are roughly balanced.

Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) publishes the market data used in the charts on this page and reports Vancouver East as a separate market area. The charts track Vancouver East Home Prices and market activity for detached homes, townhouses and condos across the Vancouver East Housing Market.

These Vancouver East Real Estate Statistics are updated as new monthly data becomes available. Reviewing several months of Vancouver East Market Statistics provides better context than relying on one month alone, especially when Vancouver East Real Estate Prices are being influenced by different property types and neighbourhoods. Vancouver East Housing Prices should therefore be read as a broader trend rather than as a substitute for comparable sales in a specific Vancouver East submarket. For broader regional comparisons, see our Market Statistics page.

Vancouver East contains several rapid-transit submarkets that are developing at different speeds. Commercial-Broadway, Joyce-Collingwood, Rupert and Renfrew each have distinct station-area planning contexts, while Mount Pleasant is partly within the Broadway Plan. That creates very different combinations of older apartments, newer condos, townhouses, detached homes and redevelopment sites within the Vancouver East Housing Market.

Those differences can influence Vancouver East Home Prices and Vancouver East Market Statistics from month to month. A stronger period for condo sales near major stations may affect citywide measures differently from detached-home activity farther from rapid transit, so property type and neighbourhood should be considered together.

Commercial-Broadway sits within the Grandview-Woodland planning area, where the City has approved substantial new housing and mixed-use development around a major transit interchange. The housing mix around Commercial Drive and Broadway is therefore changing alongside a large stock of older rental and strata buildings.

That transition can influence Vancouver East Market Statistics as newer condo and rental development becomes a larger part of local activity. Vancouver East Real Estate Statistics are more useful when Commercial-Broadway sales are viewed as one submarket rather than assumed to represent detached-home or strata conditions across the Vancouver East Real Estate Market.

Joyce-Collingwood and River District are two very different growth areas within Vancouver East. Joyce-Collingwood is centred on a SkyTrain station and planned for more transit-supportive mixed-use housing, while River District is a master-planned waterfront community at East Fraser Lands with a growing mix of strata, rental and other housing.

Vancouver East Home Prices in these areas can therefore reflect newer housing, different building forms and different stages of neighbourhood development. Vancouver East Housing Prices should be interpreted within the relevant submarket rather than assuming that a newer River District condo or Joyce-Collingwood tower follows the same pattern as an older home elsewhere in the Vancouver East Housing Market.

The Rupert and Renfrew Station Area Plan is guiding long-term change around both SkyTrain stations through 2050, including additional housing, shops, services and improvements around Still Creek. This creates a different development context from established residential areas that are not within the station plan.

When comparing Vancouver East Real Estate Prices, recent sales near Rupert or Renfrew should be considered alongside the area’s changing housing mix and redevelopment context. Vancouver East Sold Prices from similar properties in the same station-area submarket are generally more informative than relying only on a broad Vancouver East Average House Price.

Vancouver East contains many older detached and character-home neighbourhoods, but newer duplexes, infill homes and multiplexes are becoming a larger part of the ground-oriented Vancouver East Housing Market. Vancouver’s R1-1 zoning permits multiplex housing on eligible sites, so homes with similar street locations can now represent very different ages, ownership structures and building forms.

That matters when interpreting Vancouver East Sold Prices. A newly built duplex or multiplex should not automatically be compared with an older detached house simply because both are in the same neighbourhood. Vancouver East Real Estate Prices and Vancouver East Housing Prices are more useful when recent sales are matched by housing type, age, lot characteristics and location.
