Questions people ask

Which Vancouver neighbourhood is holding its value best right now?

Fairview, on the July 2026 MLS® HPI release, with its composite benchmark up 0.1% year over year against -6.2% for Metro Vancouver. Kensington-Cedar Cottage (-1.2%) and Kitsilano (-3.3%) follow.

Does holding value mean it is a good buy?

Not on its own. A benchmark that has fallen less than the market can mean tight supply, a property mix weighted to types that held up, or genuine demand — and those have very different implications for what you should pay. The ranking tells you where prices moved, not why, and the why is the part worth a conversation.

Why do neighbourhoods with similar homes move differently?

The composite blends detached, townhouse, and condo, so an area's mix drives much of the difference. Condos and detached homes have moved apart considerably this year, which means two areas with similar housing can diverge simply because one has more apartments. The per-property-type pages separate that out.

Which of these is right for you?

A ranking tells you where prices moved. It cannot tell you which area suits how you live, what you can borrow, or which street within it to buy on. That part is a conversation.
