East Vancouver is buzzing with activity this summer, open houses are busy, listings are turning over fast, and buyers are back from their vacations with pre-approvals in hand.

Timing is everything.

 Market Snapshot: What’s Happening in East Vancouver?

• Benchmark Detached Home Price: $1,684,000 (↑ 1.2% MoM, ↑ 5.4% YoY)
• Townhomes: Holding strong at $1,115,000 (↑ 0.8% MoM)
• Condos: Averaging $689,000 (flat month-over-month, but up 3.1% YoY)
• Days on Market: Homes are selling in an average of 16 days
• Sales-to-Active Listings Ratio: 23% – a sign of a balanced-to-seller's market

Demand remains high in family-friendly neighborhoods like Renfrew, Fraser, and Grandview-Woodland, especially for homes under $2M.

Setting a Competitive Sale Price for Your East Van Home

Pricing your home correctly is the most important decision you’ll make when listing your property. In today’s market:

• Homes priced within 2-3% of market value often sell in under 3 weeks.

• Overpriced listings typically sit for 30+ days and require multiple price reductions.

• Strategic pricing below key thresholds (e.g., $1.499M instead of $1.525M) drives more showings and better offers.

• Our recommendation:
  For detached homes under $2M, start with a data-backed range (e.g., $1.695M–$1.749M in hot pockets like Hastings-Sunrise or Fraser) and consider launching with a "market teaser" strategy to generate urgency.

We run hyper-local CMAs (Comparative Market Analyses) that factor in lot size, zoning, renovation potential, and nearby off-market activity, giving our sellers the sharpest edge in East Vancouver.

Pricing is key. Overpriced listings are lingering, while competitively priced homes are sparking multiple offers. That’s why we emphasize strategic, data-driven pricing—we dig into micro-market trends, zoning potential, and even off-market data to determine your property’s sweet spot. Pricing right the first time means you don’t chase the market—you lead it.
