• Sales: 0
• Sales Ratio: 0.0%

Condos & Townhomes:

• Sales: 7
• Sales Ratio: 16.7%

Downtown Eastside has no detached housing inventory, as the area consists entirely of condos and townhomes. The attached segment recorded a 16.7% sales ratio in March 2026 — balanced conditions with 7 sales from 42 available units, a slight improvement over February’s 13.9% and a sign of steady, if measured, buyer activity in this primarily condo-driven neighbourhood.

• Sales: 7
• Sales Ratio: 18.4%

Condos & Townhomes:

Grandview-Woodland recorded a mixed picture in March 2026. The detached segment held balanced conditions at 18.4%, with 7 sales from 38 listings — a solid result for a neighbourhood with meaningful detached inventory. The condo and townhome market remained in buyer-friendly territory for the second consecutive month, posting a 10.4% sales ratio with only 7 sales from 67 available units. That persistence of soft attached conditions in Grandview-Woodland stands out against the broader regional trend and suggests buyers in this segment are waiting for further value.

• Sales: 5
• Sales Ratio: 71.4%

Hastings produced the most striking results in the False Creek Flats region in March 2026. The detached segment delivered an exceptional 71.4% sales ratio — 5 sales from just 7 available homes — representing outstanding activity and strong seller’s market conditions in a tightly held inventory. The condo and townhome segment matched that momentum at 40.6%, right at the threshold of exceptional performance with 13 sales from 32 units. Together these figures make Hastings the clear standout neighbourhood of March 2026, with demand far outpacing available supply across both property types.

Market Analysis

In March 2026, Vancouver East detached home buyers accessed the market at a benchmark of $1,699,600 — approximately 42% below the Vancouver West benchmark of $2,925,000, a dollar difference of $1,225,400. That entry-point advantage held firm again this month, continuing to make the False Creek Flats area one of Vancouver’s most accessible corridors for detached home buyers. For attached housing, Vancouver East townhomes benchmarked at $352,800 less than Westside equivalents, while condos carried a $109,400 premium on the Westside — the narrowest condo gap recorded across the reports this year, reflecting the continued upward price momentum on the East side. Vancouver East posted gains across all three property types month over month in March 2026: detached up 0.5%, townhouses up 0.3%, and condos up 2.5% for the second consecutive month. By contrast, Vancouver West saw declines across all three in the same period. Year over year, both markets remain in correction territory for detached and townhouses, with Vancouver West detached down a steep 13.8% from March 2025 compared to Vancouver East’s 8.5% decline — suggesting the higher-priced Westside market has absorbed a deeper correction while East Vancouver pricing has shown more resilience heading into spring 2026.
