The Vancouver city government is planning to increase the Empty Homes Tax (EHT) from 3% to 6%, aiming to bring more vacant properties into the market and boost supply. However, buyer sentiment remains cautious due to high interest rates and economic uncertainty, leading to sluggish sales activity. While some sellers have started adjusting prices to attract buyers, total inventory has reached a record high, keeping the market in favor of buyers. Additionally, Vancouver home prices have shown little to no growth over the past five years, prompting investors to reassess their real estate strategies. Below is a breakdown of the latest February market trends—
📊 Sales Performance: Month-over-Month & Year-over-Year
- Total Sales: ⬇️ 11.7% vs. last year, ⬆️ 17.7% vs. last month
- What it means: February saw a rebound in sales from January’s slower pace, but activity remains well below the 10-year seasonal average (⬇️ 28.9%). This suggests demand is present but still cautious.
📈 New Listings & Market Supply
🆕 New Listings: 5,057 (⬆️ 11.6% above the 10-year average)
📦 Total Active Listings: ⬆️ 32.3% vs. last year, ⬆️ 10.9% vs. last month
🔍 What it means: More listings hitting the market means buyers have more choices and can afford to be selective. Sellers need to price strategically to attract interest.
🏠 Market Balance: Buyer’s or Seller’s Market?
📉 Months of Inventory: 6.98 months → Buyer’s Market (買家市場)
💡 What it means: With inventory levels above 6 months, buyers hold more negotiating power, and sellers may need to adjust expectations on pricing and timelines.
💰 Home Price Index (HPI) Trends
🏡 HPI Benchmark Price: ⬇️ 1.2% vs. last year, ⬇️ 0.3% vs. last month
🔍 What it means: Home prices are holding relatively steady despite rising inventory, but downward pressure is starting to build, particularly in some segments.

近期溫哥華市政府計劃將空置稅（Empty Homes Tax, EHT）從3%提高至6%，希望進一步釋放閒置房源，增加市場供應。然而，買家仍因高利率與經濟不確定性持續觀望，導致市場交易活躍度低迷。儘管部分賣家開始調整價格吸引買家，市場整體庫存創下新高，市場仍偏向買方。此外，過去五年溫哥華房價幾乎未見明顯增長，讓不少投資者重新思考資產配置策略。以下是2月份市場的最新數據與趨勢分析——
📊 銷售表現：按月及按年變化
- 總銷售量：較去年同期 ⬇️ 11.7%，較上月 ⬆️ 17.7%
- 市場解讀：相較於1月，2月的銷售活動有所回升，但整體銷售量仍低於10年平均（⬇️ 28.9%），顯示市場需求仍然存在，但買家態度趨於謹慎。
📈 新掛牌與市場供應狀況
- 新掛牌數量：5,057 筆（較10年季節性平均 ⬆️ 11.6%）
- 總活躍掛牌數：較去年同期 ⬆️ 32.3%，較上月 ⬆️ 10.9%
- 市場解讀：隨著新房源持續增加，買家選擇變多，市場競爭減少，議價空間增強。賣家則需要制定更具競爭力的定價策略，以確保房屋順利成交。
🏠 市場平衡：目前是買方市場還是賣方市場？
- 庫存月份（Months of Inventory）：6.98 個月 → 買方市場（買家市場）
- 市場解讀：當庫存超過6個月時，市場競爭趨緩，買家更具談判優勢，而賣家則需預期銷售週期拉長，調整價格策略以吸引買家出手。
💰 房屋價格指數（HPI）趨勢
- 基準價格變化：較去年同期 ⬇️ 1.2%，較上月 ⬇️ 0.3%
- 市場解讀：雖然庫存上升，但價格仍相對穩定，顯示市場需求仍具一定支撐力，部分地區及房型可能受影響較大。
