January 2026 closed with the Greater Vancouver composite HPI benchmark at $1.10M, 5.7% lower than the same month a year earlier. The HPI is CREA and the boards' quality-adjusted typical-home benchmark — it filters out the noise that comes from mix shifts (more high-end sales pulling the average up, more entry-level pulling it down).

Month-over-month the benchmark eased 1.2%. 1,011 sales were reported against 10,930 active listings on the books.

The sales-to-active ratio sat at 9.2%, putting Greater Vancouver in a buyers' market by board convention (≤12% buyers', 12–20% balanced, ≥20% sellers').
