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 July 26, 2026, Yaletown carries 233 active listings across all property types at a median price of $1,088,000, or $1,121 per square foot, with a median 55 days on market. Condos make up 215 of those 233 listings, the large majority of the market, at a median price of $1,048,000, or $1,122 per square foot, with a median 53 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 233 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 37 sales in April 2026, 31 in May, and 45 in June, a healthy transaction volume that makes these monthly figures more reliable than the thinner counts seen in smaller neighbourhoods elsewhere on this site. June's 45 closed condo sales sold at a median of $965,000, or $1,019 per square foot, with a median 31 days on market, a 3.5% average discount from asking, and 6.7% selling over asking. Months of condo inventory has moved from 6.3 in April to 7.7 in May to 5 in June, ending the quarter tighter than it started.

Where Inventory Clusters by Price

Across all property types, Yaletown's 229 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. About a quarter of listings, 25%, sit between $600,000 and $900,000, largely larger or newer one-bedroom units. Entry-level one-bedrooms under $600,000 make up about 12% of active inventory, and the upper end above $1.5 million, covering larger two-bedrooms and penthouse or sub-penthouse units, accounts for roughly a quarter of the market as well, 25%.

City of Vancouver Benchmark Context: July 2026

City of Vancouver condos overall: 2,308 active listings, median $809,000, median $1,051 per square foot. June 2026 closed sales: 376 homes at a median $739,500, 3.4% average discount from asking, 7.4% selling over asking, 6.3 months of inventory.

Yaletown's condo median of $1,048,000 sits roughly 30% above the city wide condo median of $809,000. Its per square foot pricing, $1,122 versus $1,051 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 pace, Yaletown trades very close to the city wide condo average: June's 3.5% discount from asking, 6.7% selling over asking, and 53 day median days on market are all within a narrow range of the city wide figures of 3.4%, 7.4%, and 54 days respectively. Yaletown's June months of inventory, 5, is actually tighter than the city wide condo figure of 6.3, despite carrying a much larger raw listing count, which reflects the sheer size of Yaletown's condo market rather than a soft one.

What These Trends Mean for Buyers

Buyers get real selection in Yaletown, 215 active condo listings spanning entry one-bedrooms to penthouse product, and the market's pace metrics, discount from asking, days on market, and over-asking rate, are all trading close to the city wide condo average rather than at an unusual extreme in either direction. 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

June's tightening, months of condo inventory dropping from 7.7 in May to 5, combined with 6.7% of June sales closing over asking, suggests sellers with a well-presented unit in a well-regarded building are operating in a reasonably competitive environment right now, not a buyer-dominated one. 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.

How to Use This Data

These figures reflect a snapshot of MLS data pulled July 26, 2026, and are intended to give you a working context for the neighbourhood, not a substitute for a property specific or building specific analysis.
