June 2024 Real Estate Market Update: A Shift Towards Balanced Conditions

As summer unfolds, the Metro Vancouver real estate market offers increased opportunities for buyers, with more inventory and competitive pricing shaping a dynamic landscape. Activity levels have softened compared to historical norms, but strategic buyers and sellers are finding ways to thrive.
