Benchmark prices for condos and detached homes fell 6% last year as sales hit multi-decade lows and inventory reached decade highs. With elevated listings, unsold supply, and stalled population growth, prices are forecast to soften modestly again throughout 2026.

 

On the rental side, vacancy rates rose to 3.7% in 2025—the highest level since 1990. Increased supply and record completions drove an 8.2% decline in new purpose-built rents, with further easing expected this year.

We sat down with local expert Sally Bennett to uncover the essentials for buying in our mountain corridor. The full interview is live—catch the breakdown below:
