## City market context

From the Vancouver market article, 21 September 2026:

Vancouver recorded a sales-to-new listings ratio of 46% in August 2026, indicating that demand is absorbing new inventory at a steady pace. This metric aligns with 8.5 months of supply, confirming a balanced market where neither buyers nor sellers hold a dominant advantage. The city-level sales-to-new listings ratio of 46% for August 2026 establishes a baseline of market balance, supported by the concurrent 12.3% sales-to-active listings ratio and 8.5 months of supply. These compatible metrics demonstrate that Vancouver's residential market is currently characterized by stable liquidity rather than acute scarcity or oversupply, which influences negotiation dynamics and pricing stability for all property types within the city.
