If you’re in the market for a Vancouver condo or townhome, the first week of September 2025 is delivering a sweet spot for buyers with more listings, slightly softer prices, and a chance to negotiate before fall competition ramps up.
The summer slowdown is officially over and that creates a small but powerful window of opportunity for savvy buyers.
• Vancouver condo benchmark: +1.1% MoM
• Burnaby detached sales: +5% YoY
The Vancouver and Burnaby real estate markets continue to show steady growth, offering opportunities for buyers ready to take the next step. Vancouver condo prices are rising again, while Burnaby’s detached market is seeing more sales than this time last year. Together, these signs point to stronger buyer confidence and a market that’s heating up.
With interest rates steady and inventory tightening, entering the market sooner allows buyers to lock in today’s prices and secure properties before fall demand ramps up. Whether your goal is a city condo or a family home in Burnaby, acting now positions you ahead of the competition.
By mid-to-late September, we typically see a surge in buyer activity. Pre-approved clients start acting quickly, multiple offers become more common, and competition heats up especially on townhomes and well-located 2-bed condos.
Acting now allows you to:
Preview listings before they hit peak demand
Lock in lower monthly payments while rates hold steady
Secure incentives or better terms from sellers eager to close quickly
Avoid competing with a larger pool of fall buyers
