Market Trend
According to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) news release, it stated that in Metro Vancouver, the home prices remain steady since provincial health officials implemented physical distancing requirements in March.
The REBGV’s Chair Colette Gerber explained that "home buyers and sellers are
adapting today, becoming more comfortable operating with the physical-
distancing requirements that are in place in the market."

Median Prices
ESTIMATED MEDIAN PRICE OF A BENCHMARK PROPERTY
The MLS® HPI is a more stable price indicator than average prices, because it tracks changes of "middle-of-the-range" or "typical" homes and excludes the extreme high-end and low-end properties.
Typical homes are defined by the various quantitative property attributes (e.g. above ground living area in square feet) and qualitative housing features (e.g. proximity to shopping, schools, transportation, hospitals etc.) toward the home price of properties sold in Greater Vancouver communities.
The prices have barely changed from April 2020, but there has been a 5.7% (REBGV) increase in total homes listed on the MLS® system.
