Detached Market Is DEAD — But That’s Your Power Move

Let’s cut the noise. 

The detached Vancouver home market isn’t “slow” — it’s dead. 

For sellers, that sounds scary. For sharp buyers and wise sellers? It’s opportunity masked as panic.

✅ What “dead” means in Vancouver right now

• Detached inventory is piling up. Sales‑to‑active listings ratio? It’s plunged into buyer’s market territory.
  
  

• Benchmark prices for detached homes are down ~4.8% year over year. COQUITLAM REALTOR® Sayed Najibi+2Resident Experts+2
  
  

• Days on market are stretching. Homes are staying listed longer.
  
  

• Buyers are finally scratching their heads and coming back, but only on their terms. My Vancouver Property+3Resident Experts+3COQUITLAM REALTOR® Sayed Najibi+3
  
  

Translation: Detached homes aren’t flying off the shelf. The sellers who think “just list and pray” are about to lose serious ground.

🧠 Why this matters for you (whether buying or selling)

If you’re buying:

This is your clearance sale. You gain negotiating power — not just price, but terms, dates, inspections, closing conditions. Detached homes are weak. Don’t be shy.

If you’re selling:

You’ve got to lead. You don’t get to lag while your comps turn into “we priced too high.” You become the aggressor: price first, market hard, make buyers chase.

💡 My edge and your advantage (what I do differently)

• I read the submarkets — detached zones aren’t homogenous. What’s dead in one area might still have flare-ups in another.
  
  

• I pinpoint stale listings (60+ days) and push for pre‑emptive renegotiation.
  
  

• I build dual campaigns for buyers and sellers — so I always have dry powder (leads) no matter which side shifts.
  
  

• I leverage data faster: I see early shifts in inventory and act before others catch up.
  
  

That’s how I stayed on top when markets tilt. You should use me for that tilt.

🚀 What you do next (right now)

• Buyers: Go on offense. Zero emotion. Target why homes are stale. Offer more control.
  
  

• Sellers: Don’t wait for “buyers to return.” Launch smart — adjust pricing early, stage smart, pre‑market tactically.
  
  

• All: Stay liquid. Don’t overextend. This is a reset market, not a boom.
