June Market Update

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 17:25:09 GMT

After a slow spring, June on the Coast came with an uptick in the market in almost every category. For the third month in a row, prices were up, with the MLS average price for the Sunshine Coast across all categories increasing to $799,200 from $787,600 in May. That said, prices are still down 4.3% from the same time last year, with detached houses down 4.4%, townhomes down 0.7%, and apartments down 17.2%.

Although the sales to actives ratio has increased to 10% from 7%, the market on the Coast continues to be strongly in a buyers market. The combination of lower prices and a buyers market means there continues to be great deals to be had, and we are seeing more buyers take advantage of these lower prices with the number of sales increasing. Overall sales totaled 59, an increase from 47 in May, and of this, there were 53 detached homes sold for only the second time since May 2022 (the peak of the market in terms of price). Within the detached home category, there was a sizable increase in the number of homes sold at $1.5M or more, a price point that had been very quiet since the beginning of the year.

Attached home sales continue to be slow, with a total of 17 apartments and 24 townhomes sold in the first half of June, with each category having only 2 sales in the month of June. For those looking to move up to a detached home from an attached home, the market has been difficult, however there is a real opportunity for those looking to enter the market, with 80 available attached options.

New Listings - 158 in June vs 158 in May
Sales - Up 59 vs 47
Days on Market - Down 29 vs. 30
Total Inventory - Up 587 vs. 571
MLS HPI Price Overall - $799,200 in June vs $787,600 in May
Detached - $851,200 vs $841,500
Townhouse - $743,600 vs $744,200
Apartment - $424,200 vs from $391,600

Whether the increase in sales and prices is a change of direction in the market, or the result of built up demand from a slow spring, there are certainly buyers taking advantage of prices we haven’t seen in a number of years! If you are curious about the market, or are considering making a move, please reach out any time.

May Market Update

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 16:26:39 GMT

The Sunshine Coast real estate market in May was similar to the real estate market in April. Sales, New Listings, and Days on the Market were virtually the same month over month while inventory increased. The MLS HPI Price, which is down 4% year over year, crept up for detached homes and overall, however this is likely representative of what sold versus suggesting there has been a change in the market.

Sunshine Coast

New Listings* - Up 158 in May vs 155 in April
Sales - Up 47 vs 46
Days on Market - Down 30 vs. 32
Total Inventory - Up 566 vs. 517
MLS HPI Price Overall - $787,600 in May vs $768,000 in April
Detached - $841,500 vs $820,700
Townhouse - $744,200 vs $724,800
Apartment - $391,600 vs from $389,600

Many buyers on the Sunshine Coast are from Greater Vancouver, often moving for retirement, to raise families and for a slower pace of life, all at a lower cost of living than in the city as well as for recreational properties. Because of this, the Coast real estate market is closely tied to the Greater Vancouver market, and when the market is down in Greater Vancouver, this is often reflected in lower sales on the Coast as well.

In May, sales in Greater Vancouver totalled 2,150, a 3.5 per cent decrease from May 2025, and 26.6 per cent below the 10-year seasonal average. On a month over month basis, detached home sales were down less than 1% (660 vs 654) while townhouse sales increased from 335 to 354, with apartment sales flat (down from 1,015 to 1,012). This differs from the year over year statistics, where house sales are up 1.1%, apartment sales are down 7.4% and townhouse sales are down 5.1%.

GVR Overall

New Listings - Down 6,129 in May vs 6,707 in April
Sales - Up 2,139 vs. vs 2,106
Days on Market - Up 21 vs. 19
Total Inventory - Up 16,354 vs.15,955
MLS HPI Price All - $1,100,700 in May vs $1,098,000 in April
Detached - 1,847,900 vs 1,840,700
Townhouse - $1,048,200 vs $1,043,000
Apartment - $697,800 vs $703,000

What Does This Mean?

If you are in the market to buy, growing inventory, declining prices and a sales to active listings ratio on the Coast at 8.3%, which is firmly in a buyers market, there is opportunity that didn’t exist a few years ago.

For sellers, the key to a successful transaction is to price the property appropriately (and with the average price down 20% from the peak in May 2022, sale prices are generally less than most sellers expect), in addition to marketing and positioning. In a competitive market, this is not only key a sale, but to getting buyers to view your home

Over the past few months, well-priced and well-located family homes and updated ranchers have been the most popular homes with a recent increase in homes selling over $1.5M, mainly waterfront and panoramic view homes.

While the market statistics in May doesn’t show an increase in activity, agents are reporting more calls from prospective buyers and sellers. Whether these discussions will lead to an increase in transactions remains to be seen. If you are curious about the market, or are considering making a move, please reach out any time for a casual, no pressure, conversation.
