Yaletown Real Estate Market Stats and Trends 2026

Yaletown is almost entirely a condo market, and the data reflects that clearly. Understanding current pricing and pace here means looking at the condo segment specifically rather than a generic neighbourhood average, since condos make up the overwhelming majority of what's actually for sale.

Current Market Snapshot: 2026

As of September 8, 2026, Yaletown carries 218 active listings across all property types at a median price of $1,010,000, or $1,105 per square foot, with a median 61 days on market. Condos make up 209 of those 218 listings, the large majority of the market, at a median price of $999,000, or $1,115 per square foot, with a median 58 days on market. Townhomes and the small handful of other property types account for the remaining listings and are too few in number for a separate reliable segment breakdown.

These figures update the average sale price and active listing count previously cited on this site without a specific date attached, 271 active listings and roughly $994,000 average sale price. Today's active count of 218 is meaningfully lower than that earlier figure, which is itself a reminder of why this page carries a clear date rather than presenting these numbers as a fixed baseline.

Recent Monthly Sales Trend

Yaletown's condo market closed 45 sales in June 2026, 39 in July, and 28 in August, a healthy transaction volume that makes these monthly figures more reliable than the thinner counts seen in smaller neighbourhoods elsewhere on this site. August's 28 closed condo sales sold at a median of $1,195,000, or $1,157 per square foot, with a median 18.5 days on market, a 3.6% average discount from asking, and 3.6% selling over asking. Months of condo inventory has moved from 5 in June to 5.5 in July to 7.4 in August, loosening notably over that stretch rather than staying tight.

Where Inventory Clusters by Price

Across all property types, Yaletown's 213 active listings cluster most heavily between $900,000 and $1.5 million, which accounts for roughly 38% of all listings and reflects the bulk of the neighbourhood's two-bedroom inventory. Just over a quarter of listings, 27%, sit between $600,000 and $900,000, largely larger or newer one-bedroom units. Entry-level one-bedrooms under $600,000 make up about 13% of active inventory, and the upper end above $1.5 million, covering larger two-bedrooms and penthouse or sub-penthouse units, accounts for just under a quarter of the market as well, 23%.

City of Vancouver Benchmark Context: September 2026

City of Vancouver condos overall: 2,113 active listings, median $799,900, median $1,045 per square foot. August 2026 closed sales: 308 homes at a median $748,950, 3.1% average discount from asking, 7.5% selling over asking, 6.9 months of inventory.

Yaletown's condo median of $999,000 sits roughly 25% above the city wide condo median of $799,900. Its per square foot pricing, $1,115 versus $1,045 city wide, runs only about 7% higher, a much smaller gap than the price premium alone would suggest, which points to Yaletown's price premium coming more from unit size and building type than from an outsized per square foot cost. On active listing pace, Yaletown trades close to the city wide condo average, a 58 day median days on market against the city wide 57. On monthly pace, though, Yaletown has eased since early summer: August's 3.6% discount from asking is similar to the city wide 3.1%, but Yaletown's 3.6% of sales closing over asking now trails the city wide 7.5%, a reversal from June, when Yaletown matched or outpaced the city on both metrics. Yaletown's August months of inventory, 7.4, has also moved past the city wide condo figure of 6.9, running slightly looser than the broader market rather than tighter, the opposite of where it sat back in June.

What These Trends Mean for Buyers

Buyers get real selection in Yaletown, 209 active condo listings spanning entry one-bedrooms to penthouse product, and the market has eased since early summer, months of inventory rose to 7.4 in August and the share of sales closing over asking dropped to 3.6%, both now looser than the city wide condo average. What Yaletown buyers are really paying for is the building and the address, not an inflated per square foot cost relative to the rest of the city's condo market. Building selection matters more here than almost any other single decision, since a well-run building and a problematic one at a similar price point are not always distinguishable from the listing alone.

What These Trends Mean for Sellers

The market has eased since June's tighter conditions, months of condo inventory rose from 5 in June to 7.4 in August, and the share of sales closing over asking pulled back to 3.6% after a July spike to 12.8%. That points to a more balanced environment than earlier in the summer, though August's median sale price of $1,195,000, up from $965,000 in June, shows well-presented units in well-regarded buildings are still closing strong. A strong depreciation report and a clean strata history are worth foregrounding in a listing here, since building quality is squarely what serious Yaletown buyers are evaluating.
