Real Estate Update in False Creek Flats

False Creek Flats — Regional Overview

February 2026 brought a notable split between the detached and attached segments in the False Creek Flats area. While detached homes remained in buyer-friendly territory, the condo and townhome market surged into solid-performance conditions — the strongest attached result the region has seen in several months.

Detached Houses:

• Inventory: 57
• Sales: 6
• Sales Ratio: 10.5%

Condos & Townhomes:

• Inventory: 265
• Sales: 66
• Sales Ratio: 24.9%

The detached segment posted a 10.5% sales ratio — buyer-friendly conditions with 6 sales across 57 available homes, continuing the measured pace seen in January 2026. The attached segment told a different story: 66 sales from 265 units produced a 24.9% sales ratio, firmly in solid-performance territory and a significant step up from the 14.3% recorded in January. Condo and townhome buyers moved with considerably more conviction in February 2026.

Neighbourhood Breakdown

The following sections break down February 2026 market activity for each of the five neighbourhoods surrounding False Creek Flats. Inventory, sales, and sales ratio data is sourced from SnapStats.

• Inventory: 5
• Sales: 0
• Sales Ratio: 0.0%

Condos & Townhomes:

• Inventory: 27
• Sales: 6
• Sales Ratio: 22.2%

Strathcona’s detached segment recorded no sales in February 2026 from a limited inventory of five homes, reflecting limited activity in a thinly traded market. The condo and townhome side rebounded strongly from January’s 11.1%, posting a 22.2% sales ratio — solid performance with 6 sales from 27 available units, a meaningful improvement that signals renewed attached-housing demand in Vancouver’s oldest neighbourhood.

Downtown Eastside

Detached Houses:

• Inventory: 0
• Sales: 0
• Sales Ratio: 0.0%

Condos & Townhomes:

• Inventory: 36
• Sales: 5
• Sales Ratio: 13.9%

Downtown Eastside has no detached housing inventory, as the area consists entirely of condos and townhomes. The attached segment recorded a 13.9% sales ratio in February 2026 — balanced conditions with 5 sales from 36 available units. That result sits at the lower end of the balanced range, a slight step down from January’s 17.6%, suggesting more selective buyer activity in this primarily condo-driven neighbourhood.

Grandview-Woodland

Detached Houses:

• Inventory: 36
• Sales: 5
• Sales Ratio: 13.9%

Condos & Townhomes:

• Inventory: 60

Grandview-Woodland recorded balanced conditions across both segments in February 2026. The detached market improved from January’s buyer-friendly 11.4% to a balanced 13.9%, with 5 sales from 36 listings. The condo and townhome segment matched that balanced threshold at an even 20.0% — 12 sales from 60 units — a steady recovery from the deep buyer’s market conditions recorded in January and a welcome sign of returning momentum for this active neighbourhood.

Hastings

Detached Houses:

• Inventory: 8
• Sales: 1
• Sales Ratio: 12.5%

Condos & Townhomes:

• Inventory: 37
• Sales: 4
• Sales Ratio: 10.8%

Hastings posted balanced conditions in the detached segment in February 2026, with a 12.5% sales ratio from 1 sale across 8 available homes — a slight improvement on January’s stalled market. The condo and townhome segment slipped into buyer-friendly territory at 10.8%, with 4 sales from 37 units. While detached activity showed a modest uptick, the attached side lagged the region-wide rebound seen in February, pointing to more cautious condo buyer sentiment in Hastings this month.

Mount Pleasant (Eastside)

Detached Houses:

• Inventory: 8
• Sales: 0
• Sales Ratio: 0.0%

Condos & Townhomes:

• Inventory: 105
• Sales: 39
• Sales Ratio: 37.1%

Mount Pleasant (Eastside) delivered the strongest result in the False Creek Flats region for February 2026, with its condo and townhome segment posting a 37.1% sales ratio — solid activity driven by 39 sales from 105 available units. That figure represents a substantial jump from January’s 17.6% and places Mount Pleasant firmly at the leading edge of the region’s attached market. Detached homes saw no sales from 8 listings, reflecting limited activity in that smaller segment as buyer attention concentrated heavily on the neighbourhood’s growing condo supply.
