As the leaves turned golden this October, the North Vancouver real estate market showed a beautiful mix of balance and opportunity. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on what’s happening locally, October’s numbers give us a clear look at how our market is moving across communities like Deep Cove, Dollarton, Indian River, Roche Point, and Blueridge.
The latest data from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver shows that while conditions have shifted slightly, North Vancouver continues to remain one of the most desirable areas to call home. Let’s take a look at what stood out this month.
A Balanced Yet Active Market
Overall, North Vancouver continues to sit in a balanced to mildly active market zone:
Detached homes: 20.1% sales-to-active listings ratio
Townhomes: 24.3%
Condos: 17.4%
These figures mean the market is healthy - neither overly competitive nor slow. Sellers still have great opportunities, and buyers now have a little more breathing room to make thoughtful decisions.
We also saw a small increase in total listings: up 14% for detached homes and 6.7% for condos compared to last year. This extra inventory gives buyers a few more choices, which is always a welcome change after a few tight years.
Detached Homes: Holding Steady and Showing Confidence
Detached homes continue to define the North Vancouver market. In October, there were 77 sales from 383 active listings, with an average of 31 days on market - just slightly higher than this time last year.
The benchmark price for detached properties sits at $2,151,000, a modest 0.7% increase year-over-year. This stability shows that the market remains confident, especially in sought-after areas where well-maintained homes continue to draw solid offers.
Here’s how some neighbourhoods performed this month:
Deep Cove: 6 sales | Benchmark: $1,930,000 (+2.5%)
Dollarton: 1 sale | Benchmark: $2,500,200 (+3.0%)
Indian River: holding strong at $1,969,400 (+4.0%)
Roche Point: $1,797,700 (+3.7%)
Blueridge: $2,165,300 (+2.7%)
Detached homes remain a steady choice for families and professionals who value community, space, and access to nature. If your home is priced right and presented well, there are still many eager buyers looking to make North Vancouver their home.
Townhomes: A Smart Middle Ground
Townhomes continue to attract strong interest from both upsizers and downsizers who want comfort and convenience without the maintenance of a large detached property.
In October, there were 33 sales out of 136 active listings, and the benchmark price landed at $1,287,200. That’s a 5.7% dip from last year, but the segment remains very active, especially in family-oriented communities.
Neighbourhood highlights:
Indian River: $966,800 (+7.1%)
Northlands: $1,060,400 (+4.6%)
Roche Point: $820,200 (+3.5%)
Lynn Valley: $904,300 (-1.6%)
Townhomes are still one of the best ways to enjoy the North Shore lifestyle - access to parks, trails, and great schools - all while staying connected to Vancouver’s urban conveniences.
Condos: More Options, Solid Demand
The condo market continues to perform steadily, giving buyers more variety and value than we’ve seen in recent years. October recorded 33 condo sales from 136 listings, with a benchmark price of $786,200, just 0.5% lower than last year.
While prices softened slightly, demand remains solid, especially for move-in-ready units and those near transit and amenities.
Neighbourhood insights:
Lower Lonsdale: 26 sales | $777,300 (+2.0%)
Indian River: $1,377,900 (+7.1%)
Roche Point: $1,303,500 (-6.8%)
Lynn Valley: $1,078,000 (-7.7%)
Condos continue to be a popular choice for first-time buyers and investors alike. With interest rates stabilizing, I’m seeing more people return to the market this fall - especially those who had paused earlier in the year.
Neighbourhood Snapshot: What’s Moving
One of the things I love most about North Vancouver is how distinct each neighbourhood feels - and this month’s trends really reflect that personality.
Deep Cove & Dollarton: Homes near the water remain in high demand, and even with fewer listings, prices are edging upward.
Indian River & Roche Point: Consistent, healthy activity. Great for families looking for balance between nature and convenience.
Blueridge & Lynn Valley: Still strong favourites for families and first-time buyers. Homes here continue to move quickly when priced right.
Edgemont & Canyon Heights: Higher-end detached markets that remain stable and continue to attract move-up buyers.
No matter which pocket of the North Shore you’re in, our community’s overall stability and lifestyle appeal continue to keep the market vibrant.
My Take on the October Market
October really felt like a return to balance. We’re not seeing the bidding wars of the past few years, but demand remains steady. Sellers who price smartly and buyers who come prepared are both finding success right now.
Local expertise matters more than ever - every neighbourhood in North Vancouver moves differently. Whether it’s a view property in Deep Cove, a townhome in Indian River, or a condo in Lower Lonsdale, understanding the unique rhythm of each area is key to making a great real estate decision.
Looking Ahead to November and Beyond
As we head toward the holiday season, things typically slow down just a bit - but North Vancouver’s real estate market continues to hold steady. Inventory remains healthy, and with mortgage rates expected to stay consistent, I expect to see a balanced close to 2025.
If you’re thinking of buying or selling early next year, this is the perfect time to start preparing. Understanding current trends and getting a professional market evaluation can help you step into 2026 with confidence.
