Downtown by the numbers

What Downtown homes actually sold for

Every Downtown sale on the MLS® from November 9, 2025 to November 9, 2026, closed or firm and waiting to complete. That's 516 homes. The figures are medians, the middle sale, so one big outlier can't skew them.

Townhouse

$1,000,000

Median sale price, 15 sales

Median 38 days on the market. Sold for a median 97.6% of asking, and 1 of the 15 went at or over asking.

Condo

$660,000

Median sale price, 501 sales

Median 25 days on the market. Sold for a median 96.7% of asking, and 45 of the 501 went at or over asking.

The first two weeks matter most

97.8%

of the original asking price, for the 174 homes that sold within 14 days

93.6%

of the original asking price, for the 215 homes that took longer than 30 days

On a $660,000 condo, that gap is roughly $28,000. Pricing it right on day one usually beats chasing the market down. Check your Downtown home's price

Living here

What daily life in Downtown looks like

Homes

High-rise condos, from the 1990s to brand-new towers, plus heritage lofts in Gastown and Crosstown, including the Beatty Street conversions near the Sun Tower.

Shops and entertainment

The Granville Entertainment District, Granville Mall and Gastown are all here, along with Rogers Arena and BC Place.

Getting around

Waterfront Station is the hub: the Expo and Canada lines have six downtown stations, the SeaBus crosses to North Vancouver in 10 to 12 minutes, and the West Coast Express runs east. The 95 B-Line runs on Hastings.

Day to day

Most errands are a walk. The trade-off is city noise, construction and event-night traffic.

Schools

Which schools serve Downtown?

Schools and programs

Of the 467 Downtown homes sold in the last 12 months, 340 were in the Crosstown (šxʷwəq̓ʷəθət) Elementary catchment, 64 in Elsie Roy's and 63 in Lord Roberts's.

For secondary, 398 were in the King George Secondary catchment and 69 in Britannia Secondary's.

These catchments come from the Vancouver School Board's 2026 catchment boundaries, matched to the homes sold here in the last 12 months. Catchment lines can split a street and popular schools can fill up, so confirm any address with the Vancouver School Board.

Client stories

The stories behind the sales

Real Downtown clients, told with their first names. Every move has its own problem to solve; here is how Josh solved theirs.

Told the truth about his own listing

Thong, an experienced investor, called about one of Josh's listings. Josh told him straight that its bylaws didn't fit his rental plan, then walked him through his options and the risks. They found a unit at The Electra whose rules worked for him; he brought his own renovation contractor to the viewing and bought it. At his request, Josh also joined him at the closing appointment.

An unhurried search for a first home

Marissa and George met Josh at one of his open houses and hit it off. After a buyer consultation and an unhurried search, they bought a renovated condo on Keefer Street with a good kitchen and room for their dog. Josh connected them with a mortgage broker and a home inspector along the way.
